as they sped swiftly forward.
But how are we going to get
back?| asked Albert q short while
later.
Neither had thought Of this. II
was rare sport to slide down the lake
with b help of q sail and a high
wind. but to return in the same way
was obviously u of the question. The
mariners methods of sailing against
the wind would have been beyond
their ken even IL their little ice-boat
had the necessary appliances. To have
to walk six or eight miles on the ice
dragging their sled-boat against such
a wind was lot an inviting prospect.
well, we'll start back soon," said
Tom, sobered but still loath to give
up such fine sport.
n then. all within a few moments,
double misfortune overlook them.
Under b great pressure of a sudden
increase in the violence of the gale
the mast groaned n snapped In two
near its lower end. Then the sled,
still carried forward by Its momentum
ran into a lumberman's log held fast
in the Ice. turned half over and spilled
out Its passengers.
Tom picked himself up nimbly
enough. but Albert, In attempting to
do likewise, slipped and twisted his
ankle. He limped a few steps, then
collapsed upon the ice, grooming with
pain. 1t was o o evident that he
would walk no more that day and
perhaps not even for a week.
Thus ended the splendid sport their
great experiment had brought them.
Tom faced his duty rs cheerfuiiy
as he could. He helped Albert to a
reclining position IN the sled. covered
him with the sail. and began the
heavy task Of pulling toward home
against the fierce, cold wind. There
was nothing else to be done. for they
were upon the loneliest section of the
lake and there was no help within
reach.
After half an hour of this laborsd
tramping night fell. and then to Toms
other cares was added the fear Of go
ing astray In the darkness. His or
dinarily hopeful spirit had almost de-
serted him when at last he heard q
horse neigh and dimly saw a sleigh
sliding over the ice not far away.
Toms shouts were promptly an
swered- The driver of the sleigh
proved TO be a neighbor who lived
on the same side Of the lake, above
the Marlowe farm. and he was glad
to rescue the "shipwrecked" boys.
Room for both was found In the
Sleigh and they rode comfortably
homeward. their 'ice-boat" trailing by
q rope behind them.
'It was simply great-it we did have
a smash-up."Ta1 declared repeated
ly, both That night and during several
succeeding days. but Albert did not
quite fully and heartily agree until his
sprained ankle no longer troubled him.

thusiasm. land blowing right down

The eager boys slipped out of the
house unobserved, dragged their sled
boat along the sheltered shore to the
point. showed st out upon the open
Ice under the beat of the wind. and
then with no little difficulty unfurled
and properly fastened their sail.
"She's moving!' shouted Tom In
great Joy.
They had to jump quickly into their
seats, for "she" really was moving at
a very good rate of speed. the filled
sail at taut as q drum and the strain
ing mast creaking loudly enough to be
heard even in the roar OF the wind.
The force driving against the little
sail was so great that the ~ end

difficulty the boys shifted their posi-
lions farther back. This kept the sled

they thought there would be nothing
to fear. For the wind on their backs
was absolutely right and they found
no great din1culty in steering with
their naii-pointed sticks.
Thus they skinned safely over a
mile of their course, then over another
and another. gaining always In speed.

~ A REAL BO-PEEP ~

Now you know that every shepherd
girl has a sweetheart. and Bo-Peep
was no exception to this rule. She
that the enemy gave her 40 sound
and whole sheep for her manned ones.
The story soon spread across the
country, and some poet wrote the
thing in the popular way It has come
down to us. In those days fashion,
able ladies SUNG the words to the
music of the spinet, and even now
somewhat corrected, we sing them to
the piano. Here Is the poem:
Little Bo-Peep
Lost her sheep
Let them alone,
And they will come home,
Dragging their tails behind them. ~
So little Bo-Peep Il
A watch did keep,
Nor troubled herself to ind them:
And they all came back.
But alas, and alack!
They had left their tails behind themLi
Then she sighed and wept,
And at last she slept.
And dreamt that she heard them ~
bleating;
But when h awoke
/ She found 1t a joke
For again they were affecting.
Then her true love took
His staff and crook
And travelled abroad to md them;
And she saw them soon
BY the light of the moon.
Dragging their tails behind them,

did not move an inch except when
they thrust their Dail-pointed sticks
into the ice and pushed hard. BY la
boring energetically in this way they
were able to slide rather slowly along
their chosen course. Albert advised
giving 1t UP as a bad Job. but Tom re-
fused to confess failure.
"All we've got to do" he insisted,
still confident. "is to walt for a big
wind. II we can get a big wind that's
right, we'll go down the lax In a
hurry"
As they were returning home at the
noon meal hour. Albert's thoughts re-
verted to the subject uppermost in
the minds Of half the people Of the
world-the great war
~ wish the Atlantic ocean would
freeze over" he said, land catch all
the German submarines under the
ice"
HUH" jeersd Tom. What good
would that do? England would starve
sure enough II all her ships were
frozen up and couldn't get out of
port"
At last, one afternoon, a wind both
big" and right" was provided.

SCIENCE BRINGS
FRESH FROZEN FISH
RIGHT TO YOU
Coating of Ice Keeps Sea
Food Fresh; Makes Ship
ment Possible.

Did it ever occur to you that Of
the hundred million people living in
the United States, only a compare
tive handful are so located that they
can enjoy the wonderful seafood
that is taken by the ton from the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans?
This fact. due to the vast expanse
OF plain and prairie enclosed in the
boundaries of our great country, has
a direct bearing on the consumption
of meat, the price of foodstuffs and
health. according to statistics COM
piled by noted scientists.
1t is a we'll known fact that fish
must be properly preserved to be
edible. No food is more wholesome,
more nutritious or more economical,
yet Americans in the past have used
but little of the limitless supply of
fresh fish because they did not
know the secret of preserving it.
1t remained for the Boston Fish
Pier Co, the largest distributors or
fish in the world, TO devise a system
that would enable the people OF the
middle west to enjoy the same tasty
seafood that has always played an
important part on the tables of the
seaboard jewellers. After consider
able experiment, il was found by
this big Boston concern that fish
could be frozen as soon as taken
from the water, by means of placing
them in large steel watts, having a
temperature many degrees below
zero. When so frozen "a thin coating
of ice was formed about the fish.
and To- the fish was Theoretically
sealed, proof against decay and
germs.
Next came the problem Of distrib-
uting these tasty mOrsels TO the folks
of Indiana, Illinois. Wiseonsin-the
rest OF the United States. Again
science stepped to the fore and the
result was a specially constructed
refrigerator car in which these fish
could be shipped for any distance.
The coating of ice at once protects
them from germs and dirt. and also
keeps them as fresh as when they
Topped from the fisherman's net
How much people appreciate this
system of obtaining food is best
shown by the fact that i'm South
Bend alone in the past six weeks
more than 50 tons of fish have been
consumed. Seven carloads have
been distributed here. and apparent
~ the demand is still far from sup
piled. Another carload is now at
the fish shed on Lafayette blvd, just
south of the Hotel Windsor. next
the Lake Shore tracks. The fish
shed has become an institution in
South Bend. Ii is the greatest
cash and carry" establishment here.
At the fish stand, clerks or at
PENDANTS will gladly instruct people
how to prepare and preserve these
fish. Also buying them daily at the
stand or Brenmfieek's sanitary mar
ket, corner Colfax av and Main St,
insures their freshness.
There will be fish on sale every
/ day during the coming week, which
is Holy Week. and marks the end OF
the Lenten season. Car No. s, now
here, will contain such favorite va
rieties as steak cod, market, cod
I pollock, Boston bluefish, silver bake
whiting and mackerel. Another car
is expected Tuesday. which will con-
tain in addition, founders and sal
mon. This car, No. 3, will be the
l last of the season.-Advt.
