"I have made official application for Honor Medals for the part they took in saving human life at that unfortunate train wreck, and I hope the National Court of Honor will award them. But I, myself, have wanted to do something personally to show the boys how much I have enjoyed their companionship and what I think of their conduct--all of them, not only those who happened to be on hand at the time of the wreck. So I have had this banner made to hang under the other one, in the cave, or wherever their place of meeting may be." He pulled out a fine silk banner from his pocket, as he spoke, and shook it out until it hung full length in the moonlight, and, looking, we saw in one corner a black raven and "Patrol 1, Troop 3 Mass."; then, in large, gold letters, the Scout motto: "BE PREPARED." How we did cheer! And our folks cheered louder than anybody. "Guess what!" said Benny, after all was still again. "When we grow up, we are going to try and be like Mr. Norton, our Scoutmaster." "Bet your life we are!" shouted Skinny, springing to his feet and waving the banner. Then he stopped and stood there, looking at us, with his arms folded. "I have spoken," said he. "Let be what is." THE END EVERY BOY'S LIBRARY BOY SCOUT EDITION SIMILAR TO THIS VOLUME THE Boy Scouts of America in making up this Library, selected only such books as had been proven by a nation-wide canvass to be most universally in demand among the boys themselves. Originally published in more expensive editions only, they are now, under the direction of the Scout's National Council, re-issued at a lower price so that all boys may have the advantage of reading and owning them. It is the only series of books published under the control of this great organization, whose sole object is the welfare and happiness of the boy himself. For the first time in history a _guaranteed_ library is available, and at a price so low as to be within the reach of all. =Along the Mohawk Trail= _Percy K.
