and down went Mary, and Jessie lifted
her up, and the COWS went into neigh
boring alfalfa field, the pail fell that
had the eggs in and broke them all.
Grandpa said when he found the hens
robbed of their eggs. ''Who has taken
the hens eggs?" The other chickens
ran into the garden, when Mary and
Jessie left the gate open. Grandpa
made them do all the chores, go get the
cows and chickens, and when they had
done this grandpa sent them to their
rooms for punishment.

their gardens the farmers threw clods
at them and chased them away. When
their grandfather found that all the
chickens were loose he had to get one
of his neighbOrs to help him catch
them. Before the hens were loose there
were three hundrd of them, but they
never caught more than two hundred
and seventy-fiye.
To punish the girls for all the mis-
chief they had done their grandfather
sent them home.

Jessie lodged the flying tail, tipped
her stool and went into the mud. This
made her cry, but Mary said, Don't
cry, you will wake grandpa up" This,
to Mary's great delight, put a stop to
the screaming.
Then Mary, in her great excl 9ment,
took her pail and began to milk the
COW. She MIXED right on the eggs.
She did not think till she had done it.
Then she exclaimed, 20 dear for
got!
ooh, Jessie, tell you what we will
do with the eggs; Wen go down in
the woods and play house." So they
went.
By this time grandpa was UP. AS
he came out of the house he gave an
exclamation, for the chickens were in
the strawberry patch. Finally they
were confined again. Then grandpa
said: '"Those little mischiefs have
taken my hens eggs"
In the meantime the girls had de-
cided to ride a COW there. The COW
went very nice but would not stop at
the right time. 1t went right into the
pond The girls legs were dangling
in the water when the COW laid down.
It was not very deep, so the girls
waded out. What have you done with
my hens eggs?" said grandpa, as they
returned to the house.
1--WE dropped them in the pond" they

they ran out into the orchard and
climbed a tree. They saw some bird s
eggs. ooh, what small eggs" said
Jessie. II would like to see the chick
en- that laid them. It must have been
a bantam rooster
Then they remembered about the
other eggs and hurried off to find
them to put the birds eggs with them.
After they had found them they were
climbing over the fence when Mary
caught her foot between the bars, fell
down and tipped over the eggs. She
was surprised to see some little chicks
in the broken shells.
When grandpa came out to do his
work he found the cows in the corn
and the chickens in the flower garden,
scratching up the plants. Grandpa
was very angry at first, but when the
girls went to him and apologized he
said he would forgive them, but he
would have to punish them some way.
So they had to stay home from the
picnic which they had planned for the
next day. VERA MURPHY,

saw the broken eggs and wondered
how they got there. He went to see
and found his chickens in the garden.
By this time his patience was almost
exhausted.
Just then grandma appeared and
asked for the girls. After they had
been called Mary and Jessie came from
their hiding place, saying they were
very sorry for what they had done.
AS the damage was not great, they
were not punished severely. They were
forbidden to go with grandpa to do
the chores for two days.
Grandma wrote to their parents and
their father said to send them home
at once. Grandpa thought they had
been punished enough and if they
would keep out of mischief in the fu-
ture they might stay their allotted
time. EDNA MURPHY.

Jessie got frightened at the cowsrua-
ming out of the corral. Mary left the
gate open, as you know and the chick
ems were going in the yard. The cows
got out into grandpa's corn. Now
when Mary fell over the stool she upset
the eggs and broke them all. When
grandpa saw the setting hens off their
nests he wondered what had become
of his eggs. He said: 81 wonder If
the girls have taken my egs away ?"
Grandpa went and looked and sure
enough the eggs were gone. He went
into the house thinking the girls had
taken them into the house. He went
and looked in the egg box. There were
no eggs there. He went into the cor
raj, and there they were. all smashed
in the bucket, as Mary left them. Then
he saw the COWS were all gone. Now,
while grandpa was looking around,
what do you suppose happened? The
chickens got into the yard and
scratched up all grandma's and the
girls favorite flowers. They had six
or seven kinds of flowers in the gar
den, and the chickens were scratching
them all up. Grandpa took the girls
and talked to them He said: Look,
girls; you have destroyed all my set
ting eggs and there will be no little
Young chickens this year, and we VIII
not have any chickens to eat this year.
Another thing, girls; you have let the
cows loose ana they have destroyed
pretty near all my corn. So there VIII
not be much of anything to sell or TO
eat There is grandma's garden-her
fayorite flowers all scratched up by
the chickens. Now you will have to
go without any flowers this year.
The little girls felt ashamed of them
selves and asked forgiveness. and they
were better after that.

and spilled the milk. Mary ran into
the house to awaken grandpa, but
grandpa was already in the henhouse
He wondered who had taken the eggs.
The COW that Jessie had been milking
turned around to see what was going
on When she found out that she was
loose she turned around to go out.
When she turned around she stepped
on Jessie, who lay in the stall. Jessie
screamed All the other cows went out
of the barn into a field. Grandpa heard
Jessie scream and went to see what
the matter was. He picked her up AMI
carried her into the house. While going
out of the barn one of the cows stepped
in the pail of eggs. When grandpa
saw that Jessie was not hurt much he
went out to the barn. When he saw
the smashed eggs he said: Now L
know who took the eggs" After he
caught the cows and put them into
the barn he went into the house. He
told the girls that they couldn't help
him or grandma any more. The girls
were very sorry that they had taken
the eggs and tried to milk the cows
They said that they would never do it
again unless they were told to.

and sat down. The COW started off,
tramping on Jessie's foot, but for
tunately it was not hurt badly. Mary
came over and said that she did not
know that cows were so cruel. Jessie
agreed with her and said they had
better not stay there any longer.
So they climbed over the manger.

and sat down in the mud. Mary has
tened to her sisters side. Stumbling on
stone, she fell and spilled nearly all
of the eggs. She jumped up, saying to
Jessie: Lets try TO drive the cows. y
So saying, she caught hold of cows
tail and began to pull it. The COW was
gentle, but did not like to be driven
in that way, so she kicked Mary, scar
ing her The COWS began to run around
in the corral, and finding the gate
open, went out. When the girls saw
what they had done they hid in the
barn.
When grandpa came out he saw his
cows were gone and he called his hired
man. Grandpa supposed he had failed
to fasten the stanchions. They found
some of the COWS in the meadow, one
was found on the quicksand, but she
was soon gotten out. When they had
driven the cows into the corral they

they could. Then they climbed up into

Jessie lodged the flying tail. tipped
her stool over and stumbled. All the
eggs which were in her bucket were
smashed. Mary picked Jessie up to
see if she was hurt. On finding her
uninjured, she slapped her and asked
her why she said she could milk If
She jumped whenever the COW switched
her tail.
When the cows found themselves
loose they went out into the pasture to
eat grass. When the girls saw where
the cows were going they ran and
brought some of them back, locked
them up and went back for the rest.
Marys eggs were not broken but
they were badly shaken up so that
they would not hatch.
The girls grandfather was angry,
because they spolt all the setting hens
eggs-$4 worth. Mary and Jessie did
not know that the eggs were there for
the hens to hatch. Their grandfather
said that that didn't make any differ
ence; they shouldn't go around and
NEEDLE with anything.
The chickens all got out and went
over to the neighbors', ate their berries
and scratched up the flowers. To save
