THE BOY SCOUT

A rule of the Boy Scouts is every day to do some one a good turn. Not
because the copy-books tell you it deserves another, but in spite of
that pleasing possibility. If you are a true scout, until you have
performed your act of kindness your day is dark. You are as unhappy
as is the grown-up who has begun his day without shaving or reading
the New York _Sun_. But as soon as you have proved yourself you may,
with a clear conscience, look the world in the face and untie the
knot in your kerchief.
