He was smiling at InT pleasantly tmongh. as if tlii^ change was all a matter of course, so Pamela’s twinge of misgiving vanished. And the run down was very ^lelightful! Weather p'U’lect, and the long, stretches of heathy ui>laml. .\lder- sliot way. piclurestiue enougli to eyes tired of the sights and sameness of a town : later on there would be the sea. Pamela had hardly ever travi*lle<l hy motor, and Hilton was pleased hy her frank enjoyment. Hu was very kind, she thought, carelul of her comfort; he did not (‘ven show disappoint­ ment over Frofla’s d<‘fection. though this might have been expected, if. as Pamela believed, they were, or were on the brink of being, an engaged coujde, naturally anx/ious to spend every possible monn*nt each in the society of the oilier. l're«la had led her to suppose this, though hy liints rather than any outspoken avowal. The sea at last, in glimpses here and

J’amela looked at him, wide-ey«*d and


serimi'. ” Yes, 1 should like to go hack, ami y*m arc kind to think of it. Hut wo arc sure to hoar from her, an* we not? At least, yon arc sure to hoar? I suppo-e you very often write to each other, as yon arc engaged ?’’ “ No.” was lii.s answer to that. “ i^Iio


writes to me now and then—when she wants something. Wo are not engaged.” and then he a*lded with (*mpha'ls, 'ccing the sniqirise in her face, “ and are never likely to he.” I t is strange in what ninxpected ways


we an* louclied to important is'in*'. In the midst of her discomfort, nn odd warmth 'tole ronnd I’amela’s heart as she rec*ille* tcd that di'claimer. He was not migaged t«) iier friend, and apparently In* did not wi'h to 1h*. And i>resent)y .-he found it possible l*) f*)rg'‘t Lafly Mncartliey ami Freda’s defec­ tion. ami with her Inuul lai*l on tin* un­ familiar pillow, to lose herself In sleep. The early linin of .Saturday did not bring


Miss Winkworth. nor the ])ost any word from her, so Hilton was as good as his wonl and drove Paimda home. They fouml more to say to each other durink that run than on the (lay before, and were on very friendly terms when the little suhiirhan inmsc was reached. He carried I'ainela’- suit case to the door. “ Will you come in and ' ‘O mother?” she said timidly. “ I am sure 'In' would like to thank you for the kind- ne>s vou liave shown me.” Not to-day. for 'lie will hav(' tlie sur­


prise of getting you back’, am) tliat will he enough for an invalid. Hut some time soon I intend to conn* and call—if I may.” and with that he pre-sed the hand In* had tnl.en in his.*


* * * * * * It was not- till a week later that the


Moon's had news of Freda Winkworth. Tlu'u a long, scrawled letter came to Pamela, signed with a name which was quite un­ known to her. “ My dear,” tin* letter said, “ shall you he very much surprised to ln*ar 1 have made a runaway match? Hon't ho

THK liF.AI, APPKAL. Mr. McDowell said he had h«en connected


with most youth moi’ciiicnis in his career, ljuL helieveil th a t a hoys’ club gave inc one I'tal apiieal to youtli.


'J'he eluh' were not

•• The more I go through liiis couiilry the


mor.' do I leel that at the present time there is a di'tinet »all to s* rvic<*, a call to lead our youth in thy jiroper direction, to teach ihem to think clearly so that when tin* time come' for them to give a deci'ioii their d(?- ci'ion will be given on proper lines,” Mr. .McDowell said. “ 1 have become more alarmed in thi.s last torliiight than ever before. Goiing into snim* of our villages one finds youth thinking on lines most dangerous to the demoeraiie future of this counlrv. Thcsie (•iplnions emanate from unthinking youlli led away hy cheap seu- teiices uttered hy leader's at the present time, Tiiere will come in this country lu ours, probably much sooner than wo antici­ pate, a distinct call to judgment as to our fnlure. \Ve, as leaders of youth at the prc.sent- time, cannot afioni to take any risk', because tlio'o of us wlio have been privileged to go into other lands always come back feeling that this is the one country in the world wliich is .sane and which has got a proper sense of direction.”


THUKF SPIIFHKS. Mr. McDowell went on to say that hoys’


clubs were intended to develop three things, physical, mental and cultural life. Not one of these developments could he separated from the other. Jf it was intended to produce, good, all-round men, those threo things must he continuously working to­ gether in order that men of ch.araeter inight he produced.


In the pliy.'iial training,


hoys were taught not to develop musele so iniicii as to develop their bodies in every part St) that they would grow u)i sound, healthy human being',. Ho.V' were taught to rogaril their bodies i»' sacred and to make every endeavour to keep their bodies clean and whole'ome. Mentally th»*.v w**ro trained hy dehati's. clas't's. talk', lectures, reading groups and in many other direc­ tion'. Guliurally they wore taught the crafts, art and music and led to seek and to re.'U'h for tin* higher tiling' in life. iiany of the boys' clubs there was a dis-

clubs wt'ri* very numerous throughout Lan- ea'liire. ami were founded


(ontinui i ig, Mr. McDowt'll sniil hoys’ years ago.


Indeed practically every town in (Jreat Hritai'i had a hoys’ club and in some of the cities there wer»' as many as liom 30 to 100 branches. Manchosti'i* had 10.000 boy^. in *27 eluhs. Liverpool had a Imn- dri*il (*liihs.


hoys loyalty, eourage and time's. The leailor.s on tli»*ir side had to c'xteml under­ standing, |)atlcneo and .symiiathy.. Hoys were taught to share with their companions every day games and tin' good things that eouid given to them. During their leisure time they were taught ereatiye nc(*ui)ations. This was a dangerous age in wliicli theio was far loo mnch leisure. Mheii hoys had too mueh leisure at their disposal it led to misehief and often to more >erioii' eonso- quencos, Hy profession he wa.s a psycholo­ gist, and ho* was .sent out hy the (Joverii- ment to the Dominions to investigate the jirHbl^Hi of youthful delinquents. After investigating thousands of ca'Cs he eaine hack convinced that it \\yis leisure whieli created the desire for misehief which led to breaking the law. He was conviiieed that no matter how had a hoy might he if one dug deep enough tlie good would ho found, and it was their job to find the good, and to turn out gooil citizens from wlnit appeared to ho bad matorinl. It was seldom one found a real out-nnd-ont eriminnl in a hov of IS years of age. Hotarians had a job* to do which meant service, Imt greater than .'erviee it nieaiit .sacrifice, and no job was worth a brass button unless there was


sacrifice in it, AN KFF0BTM*:S3 AGK.


Hoys’ (*luhs were trying to provide against


the cfTortlcss age tor thi.s was the lazy century. Since the war we had become nearly too tired to live. I f ,we wi.shed to go up the street a motor car took us there. If wc wanted a house of furniture half-a- crown a week obtained it. ^Vc did not appreciate the good things of life hccaiiso they were so easily obtained. That was a danger against which hoys’ clubs were tr.v- iiijT to provide.


<Tid domaiid fiont 'rim eluhs demamled from the


their elders some thought ami care. Omo as an experiment he lived for two years in tin* slum.' of Loudon, ami he came ihrougii tlint experience with a far greater knowledge than he could possibly liave .obtained from hooks. It was wonderful the way in which hoys emerged from tliose condition'. He lived in a limi'e of lour rooms in which there wore ten people ami the kitchen was th(' common meeting place. What hope was there for a growing hoy. full of life am! vitality, to grow up under such con­ ditions? LittU^ wonder he sought the .streets night after night to osoapo from it. He did not claim that boys' dubs could cure the jiroblem of sliini' hut they could teach the hoys to think about the better things in life, ami to give him the desire to seek better and (‘leaner environments. There was good material in those* hoys from the slums. Some of the greatest men in tiie world had come fnnn the slums, .and from humble stock.


. He was quite eou-


vinced that in Clitlieroe were many hoys in humble surroundings who had the power to lliiiik and who only required someone Ije- bind them to give tlumi the effort to dev('loi) the talent. This country was still producing great men and it was the aim of hoys’ (Tubs to produce within the nr(*a in which the eliib operated a clean healthy manhood. Tho country which did not regard its youth as its greatest asset would find in tho long run that its ymitli was its


greatest liability. CHI F:F’S KXPKB I KNCK.


Tho thanks of tho Club were teiulerod to


Air. JlcHowell by Uotarinn W. Thompson, the Chief Constable, who stated he had bail oxporicnec of a hoys’ club formed at Lan­ caster si.x nr seven years ago by the Botary Club of that town and the police, and that club after a rather preenriotis tinie was now ’an eslnblislicd success. Working-class Ixiys ought to bo. provided with every op­ portunity for odneational and rccnmlional facilities.


It was far better the boys of


the town should go to a boys’ club and meet togctlu'r in friendship and follow.ship than tliat they should roaip the slrools with every possibility of g‘'t ting into mischief.
