But 'way off there in Rosedale where no one ever heard of wars scarcely, what was a fellow to do? Anyway, he could play with his toy soldiers, and wear a soldier cap, and try every day of his life to be just as much as possible like a soldier. Big sister told him, too, that fighting wasn't everything. A soldier should be polite and kind and always a gentleman. Then there came to the town a big chap who had graduated from West Point. He was on what he called a "furlough." He organized the Boy Scouts in Rosedale, and what fun it was. Some of the people said that the soldier did this because he was in love with the boy's Big Sister and wanted to please her. Oh, well, he pleased all the fellows, too. But just as things were going along the best, he got up and suddenly went away. The boy's Big Sister cried, and they all said there'd been a quarrel. The next day, the boy decided he was big enough to go to war. He went hiking out after that real soldier, and there's no telling what might have happened to him if the Boy Scouts hadn't gone hunting him. But it was a lady in an automobile with her own two little boys who found the Soldier Boy asleep by the road. And just then along came the real soldier and saw them. He knew the lady, and wasn't he glad to see the Soldier Boy. All this time the fellows were looking for the Soldier Boy and so was his Big Sister. She happened to come along just as the real soldier was taking the Soldier Boy away from the lady. And the Boy Scout fellows saw them all and came running up. They got there just in time to hear the soldier introducing the lady to Big Sister. He said: "This is the other woman I proposed to once, but she wouldn't have me, because I was only 12 years old." When he said that, how they all laughed, and then the real soldier kissed Big Sister and put her in his automobile. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
