the hen house when he saw two other
rabbits come out of the woods and hop
along the runway until they came to the
hen house, VIII Oh they entered at the hens
exit. a small hole cut IN the west end.
Austin stood still to wait further devel-
opments He noticed that each rabbit bore
IN his lips a mouthful Of grass and it
struck him that he had wronged them;
that they were paying for their eggs in
grass.

the grass that grew in the woods was
richer than that which grew in their yard.

respectfully to the McKenzies. Then each
rabbit put a little paw on his heart, and
they faced about and hoped off around
the house ana away to the woods, fol-
lowed by admIrng and amused ejacula-
tions from the McKonzies and the neigh
Dor who had Joined them. AS the rabbits
passed the hen house the rooster crowed,
and all the hens said one thing or anoth-

be Easter"
Along about five O'Clock Saturday af-
ternoon Their came up heavy shower
just as Austin was about saddling Caesar
to ride to town, and he was disappoint-
ed enough when his mother said that he
could not go. However he was a boy
who could bear disappointment manfully
and so. instead of pouting he went up TO
his room, and getting out lot Of cards,
he began to paint little Easter pictures
to give 10 the different members of the
family at breakfast next morning.
But Marian and Sarah did not take 1t
quite as well.
Il think the rain is just horrid, and
so are the rabbits
"Our whole Easter will be spoiled,
said Marian.
Say, girls" called Austin from his
room, look at that rainbow. And the
rain IS stopping. I can go, 1 guess"
The girls looked and saw the largest
and most vivid rainbow that had ever
arched itself in the heavens And while
they watched the glorious coors two
clouds of butterflies. whose hues rivaled
those of the rainbow. flew. from its two
bases and following its arch met at the
top. and then flew from it to the western
woods and disappeared in it's shadows
Austin burst into the room. Il say,
girls, did you see that?"
yes. Wasn't it queer?" said Marian
Wasn't 1t lovely?" said Sarah How
could we see them so fer? They seemed
to brush the rainbow with their wings e"

pretty things to-day 10 reconcile us to

Sarah, as her eyes watched the rapidly
fading rainbow

wait during which time Austin tod the
girls what had happened.
Now came a chorus of cackling, in when
they could distinguish four parts with a
solo every now and then. The four parts
were taken by a Silver Wyandotte, a Buff
Cochin. a White Leghorn and a Black
Spanish. and the solo was sung by Light
Brahma rooster And right well and Justify
he sang it.
Aren't you going TO get them?" asked
Marian.
Not this time Wait" sad Austin
and as he was several years older than his
sisters, they waited. A moment later out
hoped the four rabbits with four eggs Of
different sizes and colors, but all equally
good for Easter decorating.
Don't they look dear?' said Sarah,
clasping her hands unconsciously and
looking dear" herself.
what do you suppose they'll do with
them-eat them?" asked Marian.
"Oh, no." said Austin, with a little
tincture of big brotherism They'll
paint pictures on them"
The girls glgled a this. and Sarah said:
But, Austin, l suppose they've been TAX
ing them ever since the eggs fell off -
Fell off what?" asked Austin, teasingly.
ooh, you know what I mean. l think
that you ought to stop them from getting
any more"
II think the hens will stop them by not
laying any more. That's seven already
this morning and there are only twenty
hens"
well, they must be getting lazy, then"
said Marian, IF seven eggs is all they feel
able to lay so near Easter"
Look" said Sarah, pointing toward the
woods, there come eight rabbits, and
they all have roots in their mouths"
They are certainly buying those eggs"
said Austin. Pm not going to stop them
