PASADENA, Cal., April 21 —
Two high school youths who re-

and made it look real fat. “We
soon will be in Ostend town. 1
hope the sail does not go down.”,
said Scouty. “If the wind dies
out, 'twill leave the canvas flat."
"Don’t worry,” said the Travel
Man, "Just rest assured, boys,
that we can keep right on sailing
smoothly. We will soon be into
port. This wind can't die down
quick enough to stop our trip.
Each little puff is bringing us
much nearer and the whole trip’s
naught but sport."
Then Clowny shouted,-"Look,
lads, look! My, what a short time
this trip took. I see a town, not
far ahead. It's Ostend, I’ll just
bet. I've liked this trip along this
stream, but fact it's been just like
a dream, but best of all’s that
skyline. It’s the nicest scenery
yet.”
And sure enough, Old Ostend
stood against the sky and looked
real good. The sailboat soon sailed
up to shore amid a group of boats.
The Tinies made the sailboat rock
take this cart ride?” The Travel
Man just smiled' and said, "We'll
do this trip up brown.”
They shortly reached a spread-
ing shore and from the cart hop-
ped put once more. A man who
held a big net smiled at the Tiny-
mites. "I’m here to gathet
shrimps," said he. "And I’m as
busy as can be. Now, come along
and I will show you interesting
sights.”
