She had two masts, one big, one little, and two white sails and her hull was painted green. Bobby had gotten her In Bal timore. Bobby had come from his home on an Indiana farm, where the only wa ter In sight was In the watering trough When ha, came east all he had eyes for was the water. He saw Baltimore harbor and Its ships. Ho went on an excursion out on the Chesapeake Bay and he passed boats and boats which had two masts and two sails, and the day after that trip Bobby was walking down the street when he saw just such a boat In a shop window, a little boat which he could hold In his hand and which, yet,' looked exactly like those big ones he had seen on the bay. He loved that little boat the minute he yur M. And now It was his. And the boat's name was the Sunrise. Hobby took the Sunrise out to Druid Hill Park for her first voyage. He went down the steps to the edge of the lake and knelt there. and put the boat carefully down Into the water for which her slim shape had been made. And since winds are not to be trusted he drew her slowly along with ! , Lik two Lime PACKING OUR. J To find out wuafi la the bag, cut L PEST DESTROYER Wish I had one.

Henry let him babble on. but Herb never noticed that his cousin had the blues. When they cot home. Henry went off by himself leaving Herb to shift for himself. Herb went around looking for Henry. "Say, Aunt Jo," he asked, going out to the kitchen, "where's 'Hen' and what alls you all?" "Henry is very depressed," replied hla aunt sadly. "He wis late' getting back from the country this year, and he doesn't like his teacher in the new grade and the others got a start so he feels out of it, and hY misses the healthy outdoor life, and the mosqui toes bother him so at night he can't sleep." "Mosquitoes!" exclaimed Herb. "Don't it seem queer," replied Aunt Jo, "that we should be having this heat and mosquitoes at this time of the year In the city. I never expected it so I put the screens away, but Henry says he can't sleep a wink they bother him so." "It docs beat the Dutch!" agreed Herb. "But don't worry about Hen. I'll fix him up all right. In the first place, he'll get used to the teacher; and secondly. I'm later than he Is, and that ought to be some comfort: and thirdly, I'll think up a way to get rid of the mosquitoes." "You dear boy!" cried his aunt. "I'm so glad your parents let you come here to school. I don't know what I'd do without you. Henry's so tempera mental." This praise rather put Herb on his mettle, so he went at once into the library to study and think. A mos quito bar would keep the pests off the sensitive Henry, but thnt was too taine a method to appeal to Herb. He wanted something with a thrill In it. He delved Into an encyclopedia and found that mosquitoes breed In water and if you can find the breeding place and sprinkle oil on the water the mosquito tribe would Just naturally die out. "That's queer," he said to himself, "no water around here that I know of." He read on and learned thnt some mosquitoes carry disease and that the Canal Zone used to be terribly un healthy but since the mosquitoes had been slain, It hnd become a regular health resort. Fish are good inos-qulto-klllers, so are frogs. "The com mon toad Is a champion pest destroy er," said the article. "Well now," said Herb, "flint's real Interesting and I'll start right out to get rid of the skeets." He went out Into the back yard which opened on an alley. There was a narrow ditch in the middle of the alley, full of stale water. Herb went hack, pot an oil can and sprinkled the BOAT a string tied to the bow, one end of it. he held firmly In his hot hand. The Sunrise split the water like a bird -cutting through the air. She left a little white hissing mark after her. Site cut In two pictures of blooming bushes and waving branches and a green and red reflection of the pavilion above the steps. Further out on the lake were shadows of white clouds. Bobby seemed to be seeing nothing but his boat. He took her out. too. on the duck pond. The keeper was feeding the ducks and geese there and bobby slipped out beside him, boat tucked under his arm, and presently he had the Sunrise In the water acnln, slip ping along she was between ducks which looked green and red and blue and geese, white and graceful, and be sides one swan, slow and proud. Bob by's eyes seemed to be on the boat alone. Philadelphia, New York, Bobby was looking always for the place where water shone, water on which a boat could be ttoated. In New York he found a wonderful world its name was the Bronx Zoo.

H felt very im portant indeed when some of the other children of the neighborhood came out and asked him what he was doing. "Lend me the can." requested Tommy, "we have a norful stagnant aqilarlum." "Then I'd like to borrow It." Daisy said. "I know there's stagnant water around our place." So Herb lent them the can. Then he went and knocked the crate off his bicycle and telling his aunt that he was going for a little business ride, he cycled out of the street and off to the suburbs of the city. He knew the city very well for he had heen going to school there for three winters. It was quite like the country in the suburbs and Herb knew of a certain spot where there were lots of hop toads at least, there had been the year before. When he got there he didn't f nd so manv. In fact, onlv one "Say Aunt Jo, What Alb Vou All?" very horny old chap. "Come on, pest destroyer," he urged, grabbing the toad and stuffing it Into a tin can. "We neSd you down our way.

Henry was gloom person! i tied, but Herb was so gay and funny nobody mtired poor Pain-in ihe-face Henry felt that the world was cruel and hard, so he went to bed soon aftiv supper while his jovial cousin en. terialned the boys and girls who dropped in to give him a greeting. Herb went to bed about nine o'clock and tried to be real quiet so as not to disturb poor 'Hen'. In fact, he only dropped his watch once and turned over a little table on which was a large brown wicker ornament shaped like a vase with a tin thing inside, and Henry's paint-box. He was afraid he'd disturbed his cousin but Henry kept on suing gourds. But when he was ready tor bed and stood poised, something cold hopped on his foot. Well, believe me, he jumped, and landed right on top of poor "lien". "Oh. did I disturb you?" ha In quired anxiously. "I didn't mean to." "Haven't slept a wlnlt," muttered Henry. "Sheet's tearing me to bits. All clustered thick around my pillow." Then Herb remembered the toad nnd realized what had hopped on his the French. Ignition The art of not noticing.

The deskerette which Is de scribed here offers a solution of most of these troubles, for the child In school will find ample space for his school belongings and they can be moved together from one place to an other as convenience may make it de sirable.

No wonder the poor fellow couldn't get at the skeets. They were all clustered around "Hen's" pil low. Herb felt around with his hand and scooped up the "destroyer" and put It where the skeets were clustered. Then he lay down and closed his eyes for he was very tired.

"Bobby," said his mother, when he trudged back to luncheon the sixth day he had been there, "we're going home tomorrow." "And leave the water?" "Leave the water?" his mother groaned, "I declare you have seen nothing else." Among The Ducks And Gct-se Bobby held on to his boat. He kept it tucked by his head In the sleeper, lie had it in his hand when they got out at the home station, and he held it In his lap when they got in the machine waiting to take them out to the larm. It was nlirlit when he came in neht of the tree-shaded, cool looking place which was home. Bob by put his boat down on the porch.

At first Hobby could see nothing but the clear Indiana sky reflected In the water' and a few stray and Idls clouds. He leaned, looking. The .Sunrise floated calmly. I'resently Hobby began to see the picture of blossoming bushes and waving branches, of a red and green pavllllon top, of wood ducks and white geese. He did not remember much about Philadelphia, but there came a day when leaning Idly over the trough side, the Sunrise making white shadows of her sails within the water, he could see the brook In Bronx Park; the beavers; beaver lodge it all csme back to him as he gazed Into the wa ter.
