s which he had embraced, and to the moral victory which he had
gained through loyalty to the Scout oath in the face of the hardest kind
of temptation--the temptation when there is none to see either victory
or defeat.

A few weeks later the damage suit growing out of the automobile accident
in Bronx Park was tried and the Blue Tortoises were called as witnesses.
Once more Sparrer distinguished himself, unhesitatingly picking out from
a group of men the one whose face he had seen for just a fleeting moment
in the big car racing away from the scene of the accident. So positive
was his identification that the defense, which was based on the claim
that the car had been taken without the owner's knowledge, crumbled then
and there, for the man who Sparrer identified was none other than the
owner himself.

As for Upton, he returned to his studies with renewed vim and
determination which in due time brought its reward--the scholarship on
which he had set his heart.

"On my honor I will do my best--
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally
straight."

Well might the men of to-day as well as the men of to-morrow subscribe
to this oath of the Boy Scouts of America, whether their lot in life be
cast in the turmoil of the great city or the loneliness of a trapper's
camp.
