Diadamie could persuade Tietro to let
her go to the village. but finally after
promises of candy" and extra re-
wards, he consented, and Diadamie SCI
out with her usual stock of berries.
She felt the load to be heavy, some
how, and the way long. The day was
hot. Many in the village were i'll with
fever. and it was harder than it had
ever been to sell her berries. When
the last measure was sold and Diadamie

What was the end to be? What if she
herself was to have the fever?
It was fast growing dark. She must
hurry on. Tietro would be frightened,
poor little lamb" But Diadamie could
not hurry; something clogged her
weary feet and held them back. At
last she reached the top, and now the
way was short; but it was dark. quite
dark. Yet as she approached the house,
she surely saw light, Diadamie's
heart stood still, but she tried to cali
&c Tietro that she was coming. Yes,

swiftness that love and terror lend

almost doubted her reason for min

what it is?" But she never could coax
any explanation from Tietro. Only
once he said: "Nanan. dear Nauan, /
am not afraid now"
