Freddy Cole looked at bla tnllboat
and then looked at the weather. The
sailboat looked well, the weather did
not
Freddy's home was along the coast
where sailboat! were often bard to
manage and where the weather did
exactly as it chose even more so than
It did anywhere lse so It seemed
to those nearby.
Freddy had been sailing all through
the early spring and summer. He had
learned to manage Die boat well and
he was well aware of this.
Not only had Freddy learned to sail
the boat but he had learned to drive
bis father's automobile. He did this
well, too, though with none too much
regard for those along the highway.
To be sure. In the part of the world
where Freddy lived the highway was
never very crowded, but If a partridge
did wander out upon the road It was
all It could do to get back to the
woods In time or if a cow meandered
long It was no easy matter to get out
of Freddy's way.
Freddy rather prided himself on Just
being able to miss objects when he
drove.
"I missed that chicken by feath
er,'' he would say with pride.
"But that's not fair," his best
friend Harold Grant would answer.
' CHOCOLATE CUSTARD
Soft custard flavored with chocolate
Is more delicious and richer dessert
than the chocolate cornstarch pudding
which Is the only kind of chocolate
pudding many people know. It Is not
necessary to serve cream of any sort
with this custard, but a little whipped
cream on top Is undoubtedly good.
The directions below are from the bu
reau of borne economics.

becomes thicker. Serve plain or with

Hut there was a cruel streak run

Uurold and bothered him.
At times Harold would argue with
himself thnt Freddy was not really
cruel he was Just thoughtless and so
full of energy and .strength and the
Joy of excitement that be didn't stop
to think. And yet It was cruel to
make nny creatures suffer, perhaps
Harold, was, as Freddy said, soft, but
he wished he could make Freddy
softer, too.
Freddy could do things so supremely
welt He caught on to things at once.
Hehad learned the bang of the auto

the boat so quickly and with such
skill. Harold envied hlju for bis
cleverness and quickness.
But later on Freddy learned, and
admitted It too, that courage was not
trying to bully some one more helpless
than himself.
Courage was something fur more
Important than that It was being
brave when unexpected dangers came
up. It was being willing to admit fear
but not let It get the better of you.

taught It to him though Harold never
