They repaid her. too. with eggs that caused her father in- deed to open his eyes, laughing back at his bright daughter and her enter prise. Many a time she went to her farmer friend for advice, always re- ceiving much more than she asked: often and often his son Ned, as good natured and obliging-maybe a trifle handsomer than his father-came across to the small cottage to help the girl over some difficult portion of her books, with here and there an H. lustration so bright and amusing that Mans happy laughter made the little home merry; days and days, when spring time came, these two were busy over the laid-out plans, for the father always said heartily he could easily spare his son while the harder work was on hand at the enterprising neighbo bors
