The weather has been remarkably pleasant Of late,
and the crops flourish finely All the farmers, for
thirty miles around say there will be "terribe
harvest" The flowers never, believe, looked half

gate And really, what pretty hand it is, 10 be

increased her pace, and is now fairly run. All

loot she has The remains Of "that tree" opine,
aever bore such a sweet burden before Il is fxed
aow, and how archy she turns that pretty face
iround to see if anybody is looking. She fairly
loats along like flake Of down, but no! she stops
suddenly before the ''white gate" opposite. 1t il
