Pride and love filled his eyes as they ran over his son's face and figure.

And small wonder! The youth was good to look upon.

A shade under six feet he stood, straight and slim, strength and supple grace in every move of his body.

His face was beautiful with the beauty of features, clean cut and strong, but more with the beauty of a clear, candid soul.

He seemed to radiate an atmosphere of cheery good nature and unspoiled simplicity.
