Our Motto ..“Be Prepared.” THE BOY SCOUT IN SPRING. Spring makes him feel like going out Away from the paved streets of town. And rambling through woods and all about Over sure 'nough natural ground. Spring makes him want to stay out o’er night And hear the old screech owl. His harsh cry he has to fight By getting closer to his pal. He is then up with the singing of the birds. And gives himself a good stretching out. He utters these nature loving words, “Oh! this is the life of a Scout.” —By The Editor. Last Monday evening, at the Pres byterian church, at a joint meeting of troops 2 and 2, Mr. Thomas E. Dodamead, one of our splendid sol diers who has returned from France, gave us a most interesting account of Ids experiences in France. His talk Thrilled the boys, as he told them of what he had been through, of what it meant to have the shells and bomhs falling all around you. and the hard- • hips of army life in turning back the Huns. Not only what he said, but his presence, his spirit, his char acter was an inspiration. He closed with a splendid appeal to the boys on what it means to lead a clean life. We wish all the boys of the city could have heard him. We appreciate the kind words of the H. P. H. S. This excellent paper of the High Schol is an inspiration to I ns. It is ably edited, and deserves i the support of the citizenship of High ( Point, whether directly connected with the schools or not. We are all connected with the schools. But we wonder if Superintendent Taylor and the faculty feel the sympathy and co operation of the community as they deserve. We wish the H. P. H. S. to know we are heartily with them, and wish them the greatest success. TOM AND THE COUNTERFEITERS. (By Nady Cates.) CHAPTER I. Tom’s Good Turn. Tom Broadwell, a Boy Scout and possessor of a high spirit, was stand- , ing at the corner of a building in his home village at about the hour of six o’clock, when the sun was bidding the village good-night. He was looking about for some one to help, for he had not yet done his daily good turn. As he stood there, a man sitting in a buggy driving his horse at a lively gait caught his casual glance. Just as he passed by, a package fell from the rear of his buggy and landed in the dusty road. Now' was Tom’s chance to do his good turn. “Hi, there! Wait a minute!” yell ed Tom with all the force of his lungs, ^ at the same time advancing toward the package. Yet the man went on urging his horse at a lively speed. Tom picked up the package, which • was nearly buried in the dust and started out as fast as his legs would carry him. for he was determined that this should be his good turn. The horse w'as puffing and blowing so much that Tom knew he would soon slacken his speed. He had. evidently, been running some time. 'Pom ran on and on until the man had entered a patch of woods in the outskirts of the village and had stop ped the horse to a standstill and whistled a peculiar whistle. Tom had now slowed down to a i* * walk and was some distance in the rear. He tried to hail the man, but his wind w'as too far gone to even make a sound. He had nearly reach ed the buggy, when two men appear- " ed from the thick woods on one side of the road and began conversing in low tones to the driver of the horse. Tom was on the point of stepping up to the man in buggy, when a com ment from that individual made him draw back into the shadow of the trees, "Whatever you do; don’t let any- (Continued to Next Page) ' ^
