aunt in Illinois. I remember
one day while staying with
friend that her father had to
take some hay to the cattle in
a pasture about mile from
the house. Ten or twelve of
us girls and boys thought we
would go with him and wade
in the creek. We arrived at
the pasture after several
scares for fear the hayrack
would tip over. After having
an enjoyable time in the wa
ter we suddenly thought of
going to the house for our din
ner..
Mr.. R had gone back with
the rack some time before, so
we had to walk. We were
afraid Of the cattle and had to
take very roundabout way
so as not to go near them.
We were almost halfway to
the house, Darefooted, of
course, when I noticed T had

friend and I had the great
pleasure CD of going back to
look for it. We finally
reached the house after a long
