ED OBBI'S boat was fourteen inches
E<A long. She had two masts. one
81 s. big, one little, and two white
S&~| sails and her hull was painted
s4een. 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 he came east all he had eyes
for was the water. He saw Baltimore
harbor and its ships. He 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
saw it. And now it was his. And
the boats name was the Sunrise.
Bobby took the Sunrise out to Druid
Hill Park for her first voyage. He
went down the steps to the edge of
the lake and kneIt there and put the
boat carefully down into the wafer
for which her slim shape had been
made And since winds are not to be
trusted he drew her slowly along with

there.

Henry felt that the world was cruel

dropped in to give him a greeting.
Herb went to bed about nine

not to disturb poor Hen. In fact. he
only dropped his watch once and
turned over little table on which was
a large brown wicker ornament

left a little white kissing mark AFTER

AT first Bobby could see nothing
but the clear Indiana sky reflected In

clouds. He leaned. looking. The
Sunrise hoated calmly. Presently
Bobby began to see the picture or

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 came
back to him as he gazed into the wa

He could see the lake IN Boston

pigeons; the flowers. More than that
he could see the street he crossed. the
house at which he had stayed, the
places to which his mother had in
sisted on taking him. The cool clear
