When the smoke had cleared away he found the big bird on the ground near tho hen coop apparently lifeless but unmarked. He picked up th eagle and started to the house. However the bird, only stunned revived and sank a vicioua talon into one of Harry's pet calves. With an angry bellow, Harry gamely struggled with with captive until he had him rm prisoned in a box. Then an evil and revengful thought prompted tho in jured lad to attnch a half stick of dynamite with fuse and cap to the bird's leg. Up the bird shot, fuse sputtering, uutil he was but a speck In the sky. Our hero watched expecting momentarily, the blast of flame and a loud roar, and to see the eagle lorn to bit''. Harry saw the bird descend In a moment, however, over the barn yard and alight on tho barnl A line of smoke marked the burning fuse! With a desperate resolve, hand some Harry rushed into the barn to release Dobbin, his saddle horse, when with a loud crash the end of the barn blew out. Harry hac not been tho same boy since.

Earth' Countries Represented by Scout Have Ten Million Member Last Saturday was the twentieth anniver. ary of the" birth .of the Boy Scout activity in the United States. Since that time the movement has expanded until today the member ship has reached over ten million, and is still growing. Below'we print a short history of the Scout order, written by Dr. L. S. Stovall, late scoutmaster of the local troop: The month of February, 1930. terminates the twentieth year in the life of the Boy Scout movement Twenty years ago February 8 1910, a temporary headquarters wa" opened in the Y. M. C. A. building New York City. There an organiza tion was perfected and commis sioners appointed. Daniel C. Beare" was made chief scout master com missioner and James E. West wa made chief Scout executive. Of the firs executive board ap pointed six are still active members. The first 100 adult members to qualify aa Scout masters were made Scout commissioners. A promotional meeting was held June 21, 1910, with 34 national or ganizations. The first annual meet ing of the national council was held in February, 1911, in Washington D. C, in the East room of the White House, where the delegates were ad dressed by William Howard Toft, the then president of the United States. President Taft was elected fir t honorary president of the or ganization of Scouts, and each suc ceeding president has been pleased to 8erve in this capacity. The Boy Scouts of America I' dignified by a federal charter grant ed by congress in 1916. Only tw other organization." the Red Cros and American Legion are similiarl; recognized. Since the very beginning of tht great and good organization thr movement has steadily increased On January 1, 1926, there was ar enrollment of 600,000. Today 9' per cent of the world's population representing three score countrie have adopted the Scout program Ten million boy have administered to the Scout oath and law. It i estimated one million more could be enrolled if adequate leardership wa provided. The adult leadership of Scou troops realize that the man wh' works stircessfully ' with boys mus' understand the boy; he mat have initiative; h must understand boy nature; he must be red blooded anc' right hearted. Every Scout is a part of this, or ganization, making for greater love for the great out-doors and a keener desire toward nobility of character. The appreciation of the Boy Scout movement holds the greatest promise for the future wel fare of our country.
