The time on the train passed so
quickly that before Betty realized how
near they were to their destination
the conductor shouted "Orangeviller'

"Oh, here you arer he cried That

Betty. How are you, Alice, my dear?

As they rode up to the small white
house, about two miles from the sta

always does"
Nero? Oh, didn't think to unchain
him"
Nero was the large Newfoundland
dog and had been Betty's constant com

before.
AS they approached the house they
saw grandma standing in the doorway
in her neat white apron.

"Oh, grandma" cried Betty, I'm so
glad you asked me to bring Alice. and
to stay a whole month. too. Wen have

They did enjoy themselves immensely

walks in the hills and picking fruit, as
grandma told them to help themselves.

There were apricot. pear. peach, plum
and apple trees. Perhaps more than
anything else they enjoyed the de-

cooking.
Lets take a walk in the woods to-
day" said Betty, about a week before
they left. I'VE haven't been there
nearly so much as in the hills
"All right" agreed Alice.
So grandma packed a basket of
goodies, and Betty. Alice and Nero
started for a day in the woods.
Although the sun was shining, it was
not too hot in the woods, as there was
a slight breeze stirring the tops of
the tall oak and pine trees. After

The Violet

You would scarcely think of the vio-
let as being food for cattle. but such
was the cause of the birth of this
flower. 10 was a beautiful Greek girl
much loved by Jupiter, the king OF the
gods. This made Juno. the queen OF
the goddesses, very jealous, and she
therefore changed 10 into a heifer.
Jupiter was not pleased at this at all,
for he was unable TO break the spell
which had been put upon the maid
However, he did not wish this beauti-
full 10 to eat the same kind OF food as
other cattle so when she lowered her
head to feed she found not grass be-
fore her, but a field of violets.
