A. true, hero is he sill% forgetting self, overcomes any obstacle for the sake of gaihihg some good at the "risk Of fortune, rep utation, worldly sticoess or even life itself." At this . novel definition, Charlie's eyes dropped, for 'conscience whisper ed. that, judged, by that standard ; , he fell 'short of the mark. -- However, fond as , ever of carrying his , popat, he . per sisted :-- ' 'But, Uncle 'Fred, I mean a hero that goes ,right into danger, and the more there is, the better he seems to like it ; that , don't knout what it is '..to be afraid when .his blood is up. A hero that everybody, knows of.

" It you mean a man's „getting so ex cited as not, to know' what he's' about, I don't agree with ,you," answered Uncle. Fred, cornposedly. "No, Char lie; a hero isn't made in a day, and a man that isn't a hero 'in' little things, never will be in great ones. I know there's a kind of reckless bravery, caused by great excitement, when'men do brave things, simply 'because they don't,realize what they are doing.

Such was his fright, indeed, that he covered himself up all ;the, more the bed-clothes, without making the least attempt' to find out what was the matter. He kicked about so much in his foolish fear. that Tabby.found her seat anything but an easy, ,one ; so, leaping to the floor, and walking, across to .the other crib, she priepare.d to make herself a more com fortable bed near Henry.

All this time Charles had been lying 'huddled up in bed, covered with the elOhes, too. much frightened to look out.
