There never was an elght-year-old
boy who found so many things TO bs
afraid OF as Allan Brent His brothers
and sisters laughed al him. hts father
grayely shook his head. and even his
mother called him a dear little coward:
but though he was ashamed Of him
self and often determined 10 be brave.
bis fears always proved stronger than
his resolutions. There really seemed
no help for Il an one afternoon when
his father sent him with a message 10
his uncle. Professor Brent.
While the professor wrote a note in
reply Allan'a attention was attracted
By a small object on the library table.
Il was a Maltese cross Of bronze At.
tachod 10 a faded red ribbon. On the
cross was crown and a lion. and be-
meath these scroll. on which were
some letters. Allan was trying "a
make them out. when his uncle looked
over his shoulder and asked. Can you
read ~"
For N-a-l-o-r." spelled Allan.
Yes, for yalor. said the professor
DO you know what that means?"

Yes; courage. bravery: and thli

in her sitting-rOom.
Were you so frightened about the
baby" she asked.
Miss Janet was a friend OF Allan's
and moreover was the sort Of person
10 whom you find II easy to tell things.
20 he confessed how afraid he was Of
the dog, but how he had tried TO be
brave.
She looked rather puzzled a. she
patted the plump hand. Il am glad
you tried to be brave" she said. but i
don't know how you could have seen

the country last week"
Allan was 20 certain that they went
10 the side door to look. and when he
peeped cautiously out. there was Dr.
Maryln's big bearskin rug thrown
down to air.
Allan's face grew very red and his
eyes filled with tears-after all he had
not been brave,
Miss Janet wouldn't let him run
away as he wanted 10 do. but kept him
and comforted him. and finally heard
all about the Victoria Cross
You were brave In spite OF the fun

have another opportunity some time
so don't be discouraged
Allan went home feeling a little con
soled. though still rather grIeved.

The result was that he went 10 see BIZ

Starch forms an important element

the arctic, where fat. TO which starch

lts place. In many minds an imper-
Iect Idea OF what constitutes starchy
foods prevails. The various prepara-

OF the starch eaten. About one-half
