periments. Still, do not consider the
time wasted; on the contrary, and
when am back in my laboratory l
SHALL am confident, resume them
with more success"
They were seated at breakfast on
thisl beautiful summer morning and
the professors spirits were high; his
good humor bubbled over and flowed
in a wide, mellow stream on all those
about him.
"That's right" said Mr.. Bright; "by
all means enjoy yourself. Jimmy will
show you where there is fine patch
of wild strawberries-won't you
Jimmy?" turning to that gentleman.
"Uh, huh; you bet l will" said
Jimmy. "Best berries in the land.
Why, they are so big over there that
the butterflies have built telefoam
lines between the Jumps on 'em."
"Ah, pretty good, James, pretty
good" said the professor, amused.
"Oh Jimmy can stretch the truth with
no effort at all" laughed Mrs. Bright.
"Yes," resumed the professor; 81

genial aid be enabled to partake of the
many pleasures of this sylvan nook

contentedly as he poured generous
helping of honey over a brown, juicy
buckwheat cake.

60 for partridge through any amoun
of rabbits, quail, prairie chickens o
any other birds or animals. And it,
