tell a story about how he liecame an

highway one day when his motor went
dead from some reason he couldn't ex­

the car a boy came tiding along on a
bicycle. The lad stopped courteously
and offered his assistance. Then the
man asked him if he would ride his
bicycle to town and sircrmon help from
a garage. Tile boy willingly agreed to
render the service. The man ha'nded
him a half dollar.
“No," said the youth, “I can't accept
money. I am a Boy Scout and I am
