"Do you suppose you are the only man in the world who has that feeling? What right have you to let any girl cheapen herself so that the man who saw her with you, doing what you permitted, if you did not suggest and encourage, would not marry her?" The man's face grew white. He had a sister of whom he was very fond and very proud. "What would you do to the man who permitted your sister, when she was tired, to do what you permitted a girl to do to-night--a girl who has no brother to watch over her?" The young man was six feet tall. He rose to his feet, and, raising his hands toward the starlit sky, he said: "As true as there is a God above me, I will never while I live let any girl do what I am not willing my own sister should do anywhere." After a moment's quiet, the chaperon said: "I shall never mention this to the girl. I hold you responsible. You are stronger mentally, morally and physically, and are wholly to blame." Whether he spoke to the girl or not, no one knows, but never again was it necessary to even mentally criticise that young girl's manners with young men. Not only did her manners change, but the expression of her face. One grew to love and trust her, and ask her help for other girls. The chivalry of the working boys and young men is constantly seen, unconsciously revealed. Sometimes it is dangerous the degree in which it shows itself among the finest of the boys. A sick girl, unable to go out, will command attentions so special and direct that the fear of her misunderstanding, and suffering because she has not understood, will make those interested who know the danger unhappy; sympathy from any cause will make a great-hearted working boy place himself in a position where he may be easily misunderstood. It is astonishing how long the spirit of childhood will live in working boys and girls, even under conditions that seem never to justify happiness and spontaneity!
