birds found out what a treasure Law in
their midst, and it took most of the day
to keep them off the tempting rows.
Bert had brought a scythe and moved
the short fine grass from the land they
had not plowed, and laid it carefully
around and under every plant, so thickly
that the clean, scarlet fruit showed
every berry, and the birds fought well
for their share. But it was great fun
to dress up wonderful images on tall
poles, with all the Auttering rags and
odd hats and bonnets they could find;
and Jack walked over to Chester one
night and brought back sack full of
tin scraps and two balls of coarse string,
which they tied across the beds from one
stake to another, and hung with the
glittering, tinkling tin, till not a bird
dared to invade the strawberry rows,
and the crop was saved. 1t is true they
had some anxieties. There were long
cold storms that threatened to blast the
flowers, and some days a frost in MAY
glistened on the logs of the cabin; but
they found frosts did not reach the
higher ground, and the cold rains never
blasted blossom. In July every plant
was loaded, and Sue and David had
made dozens of birch-bark cans or bas-
kets into which the berries were care
fully picked, carried to the cabin, and
packed in lidless boxes for Bert to take
to Chester.
They sold fast and well; for all were
ripe and of good size. The smaller
ones Sue kept and put up in jars for
winter, to eat with their bread and

| can't tell you how many dollars
they made, for | don't know; but it
was so much more than they expected
that Bert let his plants run at their
pleasure that fall, and plowed up
another acre for another year. 1t
made more work, of course; but every
year they were all older and stronger:
and before five years were passed Bert
had cleared up some of the woodland,
with Jacks help; and, besides berries,
they fetch great red and white currants
to market now. There is barn near
the cabin, and new front built on to
that shanty, with three nice rooms in
it, and Bert has bought Deacon Shows
horse. 1t is old, to be sure; but then
it won't jolt the berry-crates or run
away with them.

A NOTABLE BUSINESS HoUsE.-Mr. r.
II. Taylor not only keeps abreast of the
times, but is constantly on the outlook
for fresh novelties, and, as conse.
quence, at his store, No. 933 Pennsyl.
vania avenue, can always be found the
latest styles in the line of gents furnish
ing goods Of the best material and finish,
and at reasonable prices. Mr.. Taylor
enjoys the reputation in this community
of selling nothing but first class article,
and, knowingly, will not permit inferior
goods to enter the store, much less pass
over the cases to customers. To this
fair dealing may be attributed the ex-
tensive trade that he enjoys. He is also
considerate for the welfare Of his EN-.
ployes, and in this heated term the
store is closed every evening at o. clock,
a commendable example that other mer.
chants might follow with good results.

lightiul one. All enjoyed the bathing.

end the company has arranged for the
second excursion to leave Washington at

occasioned at Camden to the Cape May
train going will be obviated in the next
