A Queer FIau,

The rest of the camping party were
farther down the stream, but Grace
and Baby, who had been picking dais-
les in the field, had wandered farther
off than they thought.
We'll carry back lots of 'em, Baby,
so Mother can have her whole tent
trimmed with flowers" said Grace.
"'Es,' answered Baby, nodding his
round head, just as he always did to
everything his sister said.
So Grace's pink sunbonnet moved
steadily on, and Baby's little feet trot-
ted bravely after it. The daisies near
the path had been small, but farther
back they grew larger and finer and
the children pressed on through the
tall grass until their hands were full.
"Oh," said Grace, "it's higher than
our heads here! But we have flowers
enough, and l guess well go back
now"
"Es," answered Baby, cheerfully.
But going back was not so easy, for
Grace could not see the path-could
not even see the tops of the tents.
She walked little way, but the grass
grew only taller, and she could not
find the way out. If they could not
see the tents, the people in the tents
could not see them either, she thought,
and for minute she wanted to cry.
But Baby was looking right up in her
face, and it does not do for little girl
to cry when she has a baby brother
to take care of.
She could not see anything but the
tall grass around her, but when she
looked up there was the clear blue sky
overhead, and she knew that God could
see her even IL Mother could not.
Then a thought came to her, and he
laughed.
Il know what to do. I'll put my
pink sunbonnet on stick and hold 1t
up high, and they'll see that"
Sure enough, the waving pink sun
bonnet was soon seen, and father came
laughing through the grass and car
ried Baby safely out on his shoulder,
with Grace marching after him and

Kari was not only a good dog, but also

and he was ungallant enough to get

But Kari was equal to this diff.
cult situation. She took her allow
ance, went up to the dog in question
and put 1t down before his nose, as
much as to say. Here, this is for you;

her old place. This time she was real
