It does come up in the course of tome, in little gro n
sprouts. hose Anna inclines to think it's cabbages;
my private impression is that it's horseradish.
W e watch the sprouts with quite a fatherly interest.
They are nearly an inch high!
floe night we go to bed leaving the sprouts as green
and elegant 111 cur hearts can desire. 'l'no nest morn-
lug we go to inspect them, and see if they have grown,
and hurl about half of them have disappeared.

The third night we sit up to watch—one on each side
of the window.
For an hour or two the watching Is pretty good fan,
but then it gets cold, and we grow alospy.
Rom Anna looks at me. I yawn. She tells me not
to ;ewe, and tl,en does it herself; • discussion ensue%
which finally eulasidee into murmurs, like the sighing '
of the sod see ...yes on the solemn shore.
We sleep. After a while I bump my heed vane e
something, and we both wake with pains in our neck a,

I u; peal to my agriculturist, who, without a theme ars
hesitation, sacs, "Rabbits," adding, "there's • po seer

The loss of the sprouts Is more than compensat• id for
by the knowledge that I have game on my c state;
beside.. *hey are so good in pies.
My agriculturist &Glen's they 're vermin, and ought
to he exterminated. Ile says further, at all ex %gem, I

I express delight at the notion of shooting them, now,

lie explains that it's moonlight at nights now, and
that if I watch (tom my bedroom window I shall see

and you're safe to settle two or three on 'em,"
This is shooting made easy. I shall hi ore If the
credit of being a sportsman without the att. °umlaut diffi.
cultic' and dangers.
It's a strange thing, considering my early bringing
up, that I .hould feel such • thorough umiorteman as I
do. I think I will rent some shooting—that is, if Rose
Anna's papa will find the money. It would be worth
his while because I should always be sending bins
hampers Of gamo.
Rom Anna rather discourages the sporting notion,
but that'. partly jealouey end partly ignorance. You
nee, she can't participate in it, and, ounsequeutly,
down% see the amusement ; besides, she confesses she
hates firmums, and always screams if any one lets off •
gun.
However, for the sake of the sprouts she agrees to
brave all dangers.
The gun conies, also powder and shot, and, in the
solitude of our room, Rose Anna an 11, with trembling
