Be strong, Jane cling to the Dynamic Thought !" "I'm clinging!" sniffed Aunt Jane, dabbing away her tears. "Heally, Virginia," she broke out In a whimper, "it is not kind to say, I suppose, but I would Jusft as soon you hadn't come!

When you get to the bursting point I'll do my best to save the pieces. For the present I suppose I had better leave you to company so much more favorable to your soul development !" And I walked away with my head lu the air. It was so much In the air, and the deck of the Rufus Smith was so unstable, that I fell over a coil of rope and fetched up in the arms of the Honorable Cuthbert Vane. Fortunately tills occurred around the corner of the out of sight of my aunt and Miss Browne, so the latter was unable to shed the lurid light on the episode which she doubtless would if she hud seen It. Mr. Vane stood the shock well and promptly set me on my feet. "Jane," THE DOUR SCOT. L Synopsis.

It was fortunate that I slept well s In my narrow berth on board the Smith, for the next day was one of trial, Aunt Jane had recovered What Mr. Tuhhs, with deprecating coughs behind his hand, alluded to as lier and staggered forth wanly, leaning on the arm of Miss Yes, of Miss Browne, while L Aunt Jane's own nleco trotted meekly In the rear with a cushion. Already I had begun to realize how fatally I hud underrated l?e lady of the hyphen, In Imagining I ha.l only to come and see and conquer Aunt Jane. The grim and bony one had made hay while the sun shone while I was idling In California, and (hose criminally supine cousins were allowing Aunt Jane to run about New York at her own wild wilt. Miss hnd her own collar and tag on Aunt Jane now, wline she, so complete was her perversion, fairly hugged her slavery and called It freedom. Yes. she talked about her and her and her Individuality, prattliug away like a child that tins learned its les.-o- n well. ''Mercy, aunty, what long words!" I cried gaily, sitting down beside her and patting her hand. Usually I can di anything with her when I pet her up a lilt. But the eye of Miss Browne was on her and Aunt Jane actually drew a little away. "Really, Virginia," she said, feebly endeavoring to rise to the occasion as she knew Miss Browne would have her rise, "really, while It's very nice to vo you and all that, still I lioj you realize that I have had a a deep nnd that I am no longer to be trifled with and and treated as If I were amusing.

"J'haivks, I'm quite all right," I said, and as I spoke two large genuine tears welled up Into my eyes. I hadn't re alized till I felt them smarting on my eyelids how deeply hurt I was at the unnatural behavior of Aunt June. "Ah I'm a 'raid you are reully not quite all right!" returned the Honorable Cuthbert witli profound concern. 'Tell me what's the mutter please do!" I shook my head.

There's Shaw, though cleverest chap going, I assure you. I rather fancy Miss Browne couldn't pull the wool over his eyes much."

Here are a few of the paragraphs discussing the different laws: A scout's A Scout la Trustworthy. honor Is trusted In camp as well as elsewhere. The things you brought to camp belong to you and what the other campers brought belong to them. Do not take anything that does not belong to you without asking permission of the owner. If he loans you anything, you are trusted with it and are expected to return It In as good a condition as when taken to the place or person from whom borrowed. Vou ; are responsible for any camp tools or equipment you may use which are the' property of the camp. Be careful wtth them and return them to their proper When on a hike with other place. scouts or alone, you are on your houor ' aud expected to behave as a scout. A Scout Is Cheerful. Smile, smile, smile. No long face in camp. It will cheer you. up and also the other fellow. Do your work cheerfully and don't grumble at hardships nor shirk your duty. There are duties to bo done In camp; go at them with a smile and you will work better and quicker. Time Is saved by doing your task the test It can be" done. Don't consider it done until it is done in the very beat way. A Scout la Thrifty. The camp equipment has cost a great deal of money. It belongs to the scouts. How long It lasts, depends a great deal on how you use It. A scout does not destroy any property whether It belongs to himself or to another. Respect the rights of. others by using their things In the right way. Make good use of your time in camp by learning something that will be of use to you. It Isn't necessary to spend all your money because It has been given you or you have earned It. To save It from being lost or recklessly spent the camp bank is operated. Deposit It there. ES gowns the season to forget sleeves and leaves them out entirely but In other apparel the sleeve's the thing. For afternoon frocks they have an Importance only rivaled by their prestige in coat styles, and all sorts of things are happening to them; In shape they are endlessly varied. In materials they are, more often than otherwise, different from the bodice, and nothing Is too unusual or elaborate for their decoration in clothes for formal wear. In dresses designers follow the lead of the afternoon frock In emphasizing sleeves and panels but with the moderation that befits garments designed for utility. These two style points are evident In the pretty frock shown In the Illustration. It Is of black canton crepe, with full sleeves of black georgette and full panels of IN EVENING all-da- y at the sides of the 'skirt, so quiet and so simply designed that it may y play the part of either the dress or the afternoon frock. Shirred bands of georgette on the sleeves and panels Insures enough bouffancy In them and the picture leaves nothing to be described In this simple slipover dress, with bodice tied at the back of the neck with narrow clre ribbon ties finished with tassels. .. The narrow girdle Is made of the crepe. Soft black velvet for the formal afternoon or dinner dress, finds this mode of elaborate sleeves the very best sort of aid to beauty, especially In the company of long, floating panels. The sleeves may be of satin or of velvet In a contrasting color, and richly embroidered, with deep borders at the bottom of the panels to match them. It all-da- BROTHER SCOUTS.

LAWS IN CAMP. Kvery boy scout attending the White I' la Ins Council camp this summer, la given a little folder on the application, e's 1 ln.-- liiggleshy-r.mwne- Captain Magnus, now he was quite Miss Browne's own find, I assure you. And as to old H. H. Tubbs. you know Miss Browne met up with him on the boat coming down. The nim old chap got on her soft aide somehow, and first thing she had appointed him secretary and treasurer as though we were a meeting of something. Shaw was quite a bit upset about it. I say. Miss Harding, you're bound to like Shaw no end when you know him--hsuch a wonderfully clever chap!" I had no wish to blight his faith In the superlative Mr. Shaw, and said This evidently pained him, nothing. and he continued to sound the praises of his Idol. It seemed that aa soon ' as Miss Browne had beguiled Aunt Jane Into financing her scheme a feat equivalent to robbing an nt-class scholar of his Sunday school nickel she had cast about for a worthy leader for the forthcoming Harding-Brown- e expedition. All the winds of fame were bearing abroad Just then the name of a certain young explorer who had lately added another continent or two to the British empire. Linked with his were other names, those of fellow adventurers, which shone only less brightly than that of their chief. One Dugaid Shaw bad been among the great man's most trusted lieutenants, but now, on the organization of the second expedition, he was left behind In London, only half recovered of a wound received in the Antarctic. His old companions bad taken again the path of glory, and were far 011 their way back to the icefields of the South iole. Only Dugaid Shaw was left behind. "And so," the even voice flowed on, "when 1 ran on to him In London he was feeling fearfully low, I do assure you. A chap of his sort naturally hute.s to think ie's on the shelf. "Well, old Shaw was fancying there was nothing for It but to go back to his place with the P. & 0 whicli seemed a bit flat after what he'd been having, and meant he would never get lieyoud be.'ng the captain of a liner, and not that for a good many years to come, when a cable came from this Miss IIIgglesby-Brown- e offering him command of this expedition. As neither of us had ever heard of Miss , Uigglesby-Brownewe were a bit floored for a time. But Shaw smoked a pipe on If, and then he said, 'Old chap, if they will give me my figure, I their inn 11.' And I said, 'Quite so, old chap, and I'll go along, too. "I bud to argue quite a bit, but in the end the dear old boy let me come after wiring the pater nnd w hat not. And I do assure you, Miss Harding, It strikes me ns no end of a lark besides expecting it to put old Shaw on his feet and give us hatfuls of money all round." Well, It was a plausible story, and I had no doubt, so far as the Honorable Cuthbert was concerned, an absolutely truthful one. The beautiful youth was manifestly as guileless as a small boy playing pirate with a wooden But as to Mr. Stmw, who sword. could tell that It hadn't after all been a trumped-uaffair lietween MVs Browne and him that his surprise at the message was not assumed to throw dust In the eyes of his young and trusting friend? So great was my faith In Aunt Jane's gullibility, so dark my distrust of Miss Browne, that" all connected with the enterprise lay under the cloud of my suspicion-M- r. Shaw, after even a casual glimpse of ! 11. one couldn't picture as a .victim. I felt that he must have gone Into the enterprise with his eyes wide ope' to Its absurdity, aud fully aware ti f the only gold to be iron by anyho must come out of the pocket of Am Jane. As these reflections' passed through my mind I looked uv and saw the subject of them approaching. He lifted his helmet, hut met my eyes with a sort f sober scrutiny. He had the tanned skin of a sailor, and brown hair cropped close and showing a trace of gray. This and a certain dour grim look be had made me at first consider him quite middle-agethough I knew later that he waa not yet thirty-five- . As to the grlinnesa, ierhapa, I unwillingly conceded, part of It waa dee to a scar which seamed the right temple to the eyebrow. In a straight llrld line.
