try it alone next time."

"I'm willing," answered Bert.




CHAPTER VI

COASTING, AND WHAT CAME OF IT


It was a long walk back to the top of the hill, but Nan and Bert did not
mind it.

"So you won, did you?" said one of the boys to Bert. "Good enough."

"We are going to try it over again," put in Charley. "Come on."

In the crowd was Danny Rugg, who had a brand-new sled.

"I guess I can beat anybody!" cried Danny boastfully. "This new sled of
mine is bang-up."

"What slang!" whispered Nan, to Bert. "If I were you I shouldn't race
with him."

"I'm going to race with Charley," answered her twin brother, and took no
notice of Danny's challenge.
