glued inside the boot. The red stem
bent and split, yet the bristly points
stuck fast. When looked at my an
kle, where the br;stles had made three
hard. white spots, / began to be afraid,
very much afraid Of the thing.
How was l ever to get out Of the
busiest l coald not walk with one
boot on. The briers would scratch the
bare foot. Now the little scratches on
my hands began to prick aud sting.
How long would have to stay here be-
fore anybody would come to fiud me?
And what if there were more prickly,
green singing things in the black berry
stalks! Some tears fell on the scratches
on my fingers and made them smart.
H. must have been the lump 10 my
throat that stretched the bonnet strings
lust then for there was little snap and
the pink bonnet fell down. One OF the
strings was broken of.
pulled my foot out OF the other boot
and wrapped pie-plant leaf around my
smarting ankle. The blackberry stalks
were 80 high and dark that began to
be afraid I should cry very loud. when
l heard the tramp of horses feet and
the crushing, dragging sound OF the cul-
tivator.
l stood up on the pie-plant leaves and
called 80 loud that in less than aImin :
ute heard the briers cracking and
breaking, and there was my fathers hat
coming through the stalks. When he
saw ne, he took off the hat and laughed
until the sweat drops on his forehead
rolled down his cheeks. Then he picked
up the boots and the sunbonnet and me
i carried the pail Of berries myself
and set us down on one Of the soft ridges
where the corn leaves were waving in
the sunshine.
But when he shook the boot, the
worm did not fall out. 1t stayed tight
until he cut it out of the leather with
his knife. Then he set the boots against
a willow and told me to run home
So put my bonnet over the pail to
keep the berries cool, and limped slowly
back along the ridges. where my feet
made deep, smooth tracks in the soft,
hot dust.

bad been wanting to pick black
berries for long time. The forest OF
stalks on the hill shone in the sunlight,
and knew how the huge, blue-black.
ripe berries were falling down under the
strawberry leaves, and getting colder
and colder, until the big ants found
them and dragged them away.
NV mother said that would lose N.Y.
self in the high stalks; that they would
make me fall down, and that the big
thorns, rs long as my nose, would
scratch my knees and tear my dress.
The dress was new one; blue with
white spots in it, and had been warned
30 often not to tear or soil or otherwise
deface it, that every one Of the white
spots seemed an eye watching me and
saying, "Take care!" As could not
see it-or anything else to speak Of
with my pink sunbonnet on. had
taken to wearing the sunbonnet assidu-
ously. l had it on now. and ! had my
small tin pail, as stood at the kitchen
table, waiting for favorable chance to
renew my petition. My mother was
stoning cherries, and when red spray
spirited into her eyes, she took my pail
quite suddenly, set it on the table, and
told me to go into the workshop and
crack some walnuts.
I thought the matter over, perched
I'D on the lid of the tool-chest and ex-
ploring the key-hole reaectively with
nv bare toes. There was a high pair Of
boots, wrinkly and brown, beside the
chest, and after looking at them for
some time l came to conclusion.
Climbing down with much care, 1
alighted with one foot in each boot and.
after some trouble and one fail over a
harness strap, which the bonnet pre-
vented me from seeing, shuffied to the
kitchen door. My armor was very much
like the armor of knight, only little
loose. l reflected as / called to my
mother:
"See my boots! Now the briers won't
hurt me. Now can't 60, please?"
My mother had gone for another pan
Of cherries. The little pail still stood on
the table. She would certainly let me
90 now, and it was 30 long to wait, with
the big ants dragging those great. juicy
berries under the leaves. So l walked
as quickly as the boots would let me,
down the hill, past the barn. to row of
willows, which sheltered the rest Of the
way to the blackberry patch.
1t was a very majestic shadow strid-
ing between the willow shadows across
the path, even il it didn't stride as fast
or as regularly as might be. 1t is not
easy to take steps long enough 80 that
one boot will get quite past the other
especially when your sunbonnet is tied
in hard knot, 80 that you cannot see
things distinctly. But the shadow Of
the bonnet looked very much like the
queer things on the heads Of the knights
in the new Scribner's, which lay on the
table in the sitting room. 1 remember
very well how they looked, for there
was little tear in the leaf, where had
been trying to look at the knight be-
tween the uncut leaves. Thinking Of
the tear, forgot to watch the boots, &c

1t is very provoking to fall down when
you have sunbonnet on for you cannot
tell where you are falling at all. And
even if you cannot see them, you can
tell how dirty the white spots in your
dress must be. So I was very careful.
and only fell down twice more before l
got to the blackberry patch.
i could not reach the berries high on
the stalks. But there were plenty Of
them low down. and great many just
fallen, dewy and fresh. on the straw
berry leaves. Farther on. where the
stalks were higher and it was very
shady, there were no strawberry leaves,
only soft. black earth-very black in
the shade. And away through the
thick, thorny stalks, far in, was place
a little open, where three clumps Of pie
plant grew. The blackberry stalks were
higher there. and leaned over on each
side, like a roof, over the pie-plant
leaves. 1t was all shut in and wonder
full with the long. dark berries in great
clusters, hanging everywhere.

of the pail and dropped the berries in
until the leaves we're all covered up. 1t

where the tops came together, black
and yellow butterfly was futtering,
dropping down into the shade anu rising
with the sunshine on its wings. Ii
lighted on a late blossom over my head
and the white petals came fluttering
down softly.
All of sudden there was q strange
dragging, tramping sound on the other
side Of the willows. l thought Of sew
eral things before remembering that il
must be my father, who was cultivatine

knew that was away in here alone

turned around at the end of the rows
The dragging went further and further
away, and now there was only locust
singing from the willows, and a hawk
sailing in wide circles overhead.

high stalks.

on my knee, and in minute it was or

berries rolled out, and picked them u,

efforts, but il was due TO them almost en-
tirely that the law was passed. Washing
