Apples stuffed with whole cram
berry sauce and baked are a deli
cious accompaniment to roast fowl
or pork. Choose small apples, cover
the pan, and baste occasionally dur

nNcE. at convention of camp directors.
" Coach Wallace Lit his pipe and said
something that made few of the other men
scoff. They were discussing the problem of
what to do about boys who persistently lied.
and Coach said, Frankly, don't run across
many who lie to me. generally let the kids
know have the same faith in them that
expect them to have in me, and it works out
pretty well"
Despite the skeptical comments. Coach
merely shrugged. He was expressing cIedo
to which he'd chung for years, and he had no
intention of debating it. But that, of course.
was before his experience with Harry Carr.
Harry came to Camp Okeechee the follow
ing summer - a tow-headed kid with nice
grin and couple of teeth missing. Coach
assigned him to Bunk 4, among the Junior
Braves boys 8 to 1O-and for while
Harry seemed as happy as everybody else.
Every Sunday morning. when Mrs. Carr
telephoned to ask how her son was getting
along, Coach was able to give her cheerful
reports. But the fourth week, Harry got into
trouble
On that particular night Coach took
fiashlight and started his usual round of the
bunlss half hour after taps As he came to
Bunk 4. Bill Kohler. the counselor, came out
and led him toward the lake. 1--WE just been

got in a scrap" he said. Hell be okay.
He's learning the dangers of telling fibs."
Coach was surprised. "Fibs?

their dads. How this ones Pop had played
football at Yale How that ones had fought
Japs at Okinawa."
you should have stopped them, Bill.
Coach said He knew Harys father had been
killed in a subway accident month before
the boy was born. That meant he didn't
have even memory to boast about. He must
have felt pretty helpless.
81 was going to butt in" Bill said but all
of a sudden Harry's face changed. He started
talking mile minute, ut-bragging every
body else. Not about his dad but about some

Uncle Peter Know what this Uncle Peter
did? Went into the jungle and fought roar
ing wild tigers bare re-handed! Stood right up
to the biggest of them with nothing but his
fists and slugged it out, man against beast"
Coach didn't smile at the fantastic story.
He felt sorry for Harry. He could understand
why the boy had resorted to his imagination.
There had to be some way of uphoading his
family. And yet Coach knew he couldn't con-
done fibs, obvious as they might be.
ssOF COURSE" Bill said, the others howled.
I had to 60 out for minute. and Eddie Wiel

Bring him out" Coach said.
A big man with craving hair, he sat down
on tree stump and Lit his pipe As he puffed
he recalled, bit wyly, that at the Camp
Fire Circle last Sunday morning his weekly
''sermonette" had concerned itself with hon.
esty and truthfulness. ''Of course, we take
that for granted here at Okeechee," he'd said.
81 have the same confidence in my boys that
l expect them to have in me-"
He was thinking of this when Bill Kohler
brought the boy down the slope in his bath
robe Harry looked disheveled and unhappy,
and his upper lip was swollen. Coach saw
that if he was to get anywhere he'd better do
something to restore the kids spirits.
He pushed a playful fist into his stomach.
Come on, old-timer, cheer up," he said.
Harry shifted. The - the guys won't be-
lieve me!'
"Well, after all -" Coach chuclled. THAT

ing for him to speak And Coach soberly told
the boys, Fellows, think we owe Harry
Carr an apology for the way we ribbed him
last night. In the course of time lot of
people, l imagine, have fought wild beasts
bare-handed, and I'm sure Hany's Uncle
Peter is one of these remarkable people
want you all to know I'm convinced he told
us the truth"
The boys were stunned, but Harry's eyes
shone with triumph.
When Coach went back to his Office, his
spirits were low. This was Sunday. In an
hour he'd have to preach another sermon
ette," but today he had no heart for it. He
had dull, drained feeling Maybe he was
all wrong in the way he'd handled Harry
Carr Was he simply encouraging the boy to
lie again? He didn't know. He knew only
that principles were no good unless you lived
by them. He Strengthened as he walked. He
had done the right thing; he was suddenly
sure of it. You had to have some basic integ-
rity, if only as an example to the boys; you
had to stick by the practices you preached.
An HOUR later, as he rose in his Office to go
to the Sunday morning services at the Camp
Fire Circle, the telephone rang, and Coach
Wallace found himself answering the weekly
query of Harry Cars mother.
Hes all right. Mrs. Carr" he said. Ran
into little trouble because the boys wouldn't
believe story he made up about an uncle
who fought tigers with his bare hands,
but -"
Mrs. Car laughed. why, he hasn't even
seen his uncle in two years. she said. Il
thought he'd forgotten that story"
NO." Coach said dryly. He hasn't for

Maybe I'd better explain about his
uncle" Mrs. Carr said. Hes movie cam
eraman. Lives in Hollywood now, but ten
years ago he went into the jungles of Bengal
with a party to make an educational short -
travelogue. He was grinding away at his
camera in some high grass when tiger rushed
him. Being unarmed, he did have to fight the
beast bare-handed for few moments - until
the other men were able to shoot the thing.
He was badly clawed. In fact, he was almost
killed.
Coach Wallace walked on to the Camp Fire
Circle with strange light in his eyes. He
knew exactly the kind of "sermonette" he was
going to preach this morning. a rededcation

was quite whopper you made up, you know"
He tried to bring the whole thing down to a
man-to- man level. II never heard of anybody
fighting tigers bare-handed. Did you?"
Harry stared at the ground. "Swe, did"
"Oh, come now, Harry. Who? Superman?"
The boy looked up, suddenly defiant why
don't you believe me, Coach? You said you
always believed fellas - like you wanted
them to believe you!'
- Coach was startled. 1t was clear that
Harry Can didn't intend to back away from
his story. But there was something else.
With his question the boy had abruptly
turned the tables. 1t was no longer Harry
who was being challenged. 1t was Coach.

Coach drew in his lips. This was the logical
sequel to the first challenge. You either
backed up your principles or you made
mockery of them. "Al right" he said. "In

He won't let me lie for him, he thought.
He'll stop me.
