would not drop the dish for fear of
upsetting the candy. But the candy
would not cool, even down cellar, so
it was carried outdoors and set in the
snow. Surely it must cool in just a
few minutes. When we went out,
very discouraging sight met our eyes.
The dish had not been set evenly in

had run out. The problem was solved,

most boys have to do at the very
times when there is something else
going on. I heard loud chorus of
boys yelling and shouting. 1 dropped
the ak and started on the run across
the street. Before I reached the
grounds I heard mother say, "Weu,

problem I had ever had. But I de-
