BOY SCOUTS’ BULLETIN Troop 23 has observed the Scout week by doing a daily good turn, Fri day, the 13th, is tag day, in which each troop of Omaha will pin 1000 Square Knots on members of the community and remind them of doing a good turn. We are out hustling to do our bit, and we ask the co-opera tion of all to help us make a good record. Scout sermons will be preached at four churches Sunday, February 15. The Beaver Patrol, with Martin Thomas as leader, will be the guests at St. John’s A. M. E. church. Tine Panther Patrol, with Harry Gordan as leader, will be the guests at Zion Baptist church. Tine Crow Patrol, with Worthington Williams as leader, will be the guests at Mt. Moriah church, and the Buffalo Patrol, with Chester Ball as leader, will be the guests at Grove M. E. church. Last Friday Mr. Hoyt was out giv ing instructions in signaling. He was surprised to leam that three boys were prepared to pass the test, sev eral other boys were ready but time did not permit. Sergeant Isaac Bailey gave a short but snappy talk to the boys on the need of signaling, recit ing many thrilling stories of his ex perience while a soldier, when the need of knowing how to signal was very important. Having served as a scout in the army, his talk was very interesting to the boys. Mr. Andrew Iteed gave a two-minute talk on dis cipline. He boiled down his training and experience and gave it to the boys in a practical manner. Another patrol, the Buffalo, has been organized, with Chester Ball as temporary leader. We know Chester will win out as leader of that patrol. Three new members came in last Fri day, bringing out total up to 42 scouts. Next Friday Dr. William Peebles will lecture to the scouts on the care of the mouth and teeth. Our Father and Son banquet is to be soon, even’ father must be pre pared to come out and be a scout on that night. The date will be given later.

He sat now In Its library confronted by Its owner, whose grim, forbidding face chilled him, whose disclosures were disconcerting. Two months previous while visiting 1 Bis sister at a seminary, he had met Lucia Sterling. The acquaintanceship had blossomed into mutual friendly In terest and. on his part at least. Into genuine love. She had told him that she lived with Mr. Morse, that her parents were both dead mul Uia.l.-Vt’**. attorney, because her father had been a former client, had practically adopt ed her. Lucia had consented to his calling on her when she left school and she had told Mr. Morse of the ex pected visitor. Blair had been ushered into the li brary of the house when he sent In his card, and sinister faced. Its occu pant had received him coldly. “I know who you are, and of your family,” said Mr. Morse. "I also fancy I know the object of your call. It la Miss Sterling.” “Yes.” replied Blair. “I hope she Is well.” “She Is far from that,” replied the lawyer gravely. "Do not be alarmed, sir. It Is mental, rather than physical ailment Miss Sterling has received some disclosures relative to her past, or rather that of her parents, that have been considerable of a shock. She knows of your Intention to call and has authorized me to see you In her stead.” “I do not understand,” began Blair In a perplexed way. “I eon say only that, considering your high social standing and Illus trious family name, It Is better that your acquaintance with Miss Sterling should terminate utterly.” “You Insinuate some mystery which, no matter what It may Involve, could not In any way affect the regard I feel for Miss Sterling,” spoke Blair stanchly. “Mr. Morse, I must Insist on having a decision from her lips alone.” Alton Morse arose with a peculiar expression on Ills face. “I will convey your message to my ward,” he said Icily, “or rather my dead friend’s daughter,” and left the room. He re turned shortly bearing a folded scrap of paper. "Miss Sterling declines to see you,” he reported. "This is her only and final word, and Blair bowed his head In despair as he read: “Mr. Morse must speak for me. I thank you for all your courtesy and regurd, but we must never meet again.” Without another word Blair left the house. Dusk lmd come down, but as he slowly passed the garden space he glanced back. One upper window at the side of the house showed a light. Blair proceeded on Ills way, but so mystified by the strange Incident that after he had turned the next cor ner he reversed und confronted the stranger. He was a man over fifty, bearded and bronzed, and wore a great blazing diamond In Ills tie and another of un usual size on one finger. Two men crossed the Rtreet, evidently attracted by these signs of opulence. When within twenty feet of the comer they suddenly sprung npon him. Blair hastened to the rescue. He drove one of the men prostrate with a vigorous blow. The other had a pis tol aimed at the stranger. Blair struck up his hand, but himself felt a stinging contact In one arm. As the men dispersed the victim seized Blair by the hand with the words: "You have saved my life, young man. Wrhy! whut Is this blood! You are wounded!” "Only a slight scratch,” declared Blair negligently, but the other hailed a cab, solicitously attended his res cuer, and, arriving at his hotel at once sent for u surgeon. The latter dressed a slight flesh wound, and the stranger secured a room for Bluir connecting with his own. When Blair awoke in the morn ing he noticed his host with startled eyes gazing at some articles he had placed on a stand. ‘‘What Is this—where did you get It?” he Inquired, holding up a photo graph of Lucia Sterling. A strange emotion was manifest In the man’s face as Blair's story came out. His face hardened as he mutter ed the name of Alton Morse. “Come with me,” he spoke, “If you feel able. There Is something you have an In terest In.” An hour later they fuced Alton Morse, pale, cringing, In terror. With in the hour Blair knew thut the stran ger of the garden was Robert Sterling, the father of Lucia. It seemed that three years before he had sent from Australia a fortune for his orphan daughter, which Morse had appropriated. He did this when he was supposed to be dying. Morse held hack the fortune and prevented Lucia from encouraging Blair by mak ing her believe that she was the daugh ter of a convicted assassin. Alton Morse was forced to make res titution. It was a double blessing that Robert Sterling bestowed upon the ac cepted lover of Lucia, for he owed (o him his life as well ug the uappiaesc of his daughter. Events and Persons Mr. W. E.
