There was a wonderful demonstra- tion over the home boys by the delighted moun- taineers. During the last two years at school Jason be- came so interested in the medical " first aid " of the Scouts that he lost his desire to become a soldier to destroy life, and began to give his time and attention to being a doctor, or a soldier to save life. In fact, the boy had all his life bound up the " critters " and tended " sick folks. " The natural tenderness which expressed itself in relieving sufferi...ng became stronger as all the latent better nature was brought out through better opportunities, and the desire for greatness THE SPIRIT OF DEAD ANCESTORS 161 no longer found food in the idea of killing, cursing and getting drunk. The meeting of Sarah and Jason at Hezekiah's trial was an epoch. Jason was simply enraptured and awed by the beautiful young girl, so wonder- fully transformed; and she with a beating heart had gazed with wondering eyes at the stout, rugged soldier Scout who hardly bore the faint- est resemblance to her playmate of old, who had once bragged of his evil habits, and yet who could be trusted to care for her lame squirrel and pro- tect the nests of her bluebirds and forest song- sters.
