Davy Ledyard's Fair.

When Davy Ledyard had been living
in the country year, his papa took
him to the county fair-and he saw
more pumpkins and cabbages and
beets, and apples, and grapes and
pears, than he had seen in all his life
before!
But his little sister Lucy couldn't
go, so when he went home, he told
her that he would make little fair,
all for her-and she might help him.
There was a big packing box in the
yard, turned on its side, that they had
often played "house" in, and this they
took for the fair building, and Davy
got some starch boxes and soap boxes
and fixed little stands all around the
edge inside.
Then he took Lucy and started out
to find things that would look like
fruits and vegetables.
1t was bleak day. The wind was
raw and cold, and the white frost still
lay on the grass and stones. But they
buttoned their coats, and pulled down
their caps, and walked fast, and little
Lucy said she was not cold at all, and
Davy said they would find plenty Of
fine specimens" for the fair; and so
they did, for. all things are possible
to such children as Davy and Lucy.
They picked lot of wild rose ber-
ries first, and spread them on one OF
the stands for apples. Then Davy
picked two gourds, from a vine that
grew on a wall, for squashes.
But two squashes and some apples
are not enough for a whole fair! So
they walked around again 10 find
something more.
Suddenly Davy said, Why, Lucy!
look exactly like potatoes!" So they
picked up a lot Of acorns, and took the
tops out and piled them up for pota-
toes. While they were doing this Davy
thought of something else; and that
as-eIder-berries, for plums. On the
way to get them they passed some
scrub oaks with big round oak-galls
growing on them.
90! look" said Davy; "Ill paint
these yellow with my paints, and
they'll make splendid pumpkins!"
"And we can cut ever so many little
play-carrots out of one big carrot, if
papa will let us have il" said Lucy.
"And I'll tie pieces of cabbage-leat
around little balls of clay, to look like
cabbages," said Davy.
So now they had thought of some
thing to look like squashes and apples
and potatoes and plums, and pumpkins
and carrots and cabbages; and when
these were all arranged together on the
little stands, it began to look quite like
a fair.
1--WE thought of something else!"
said Davy after they had made the lit
tie carrots and finished fixing 4he cab
bages. I'VE need grapes most of all,
for there were so many grapes at the
fair; and the little punches of green
berries on the ivy will be just right
for grapes-the green ones will do for
green grapes, and I'll paint a few
punches purple for purple grapes"
While Davy was painting the grapes
he told Lucy to pick lot of the pretty
yellow grass with little seeds on it, and
he tied it into punches to look like
grain.
When Davy had set the grain bum
dies up in the corners, the fair was all
finished, and the children went into
the house and asked their mamma to
come and look at it.
You can't guess how pretty 1t was,
er see 1t than the real fair!-Little
