For instance, the wood for the family
used to be brought in winter on OK sleds
and piled up in the yard exactly over the
spot where father wished to plant his
cucumbers and melons OF course, as all
this wood was to be cut and split and car
ried into the woodhouse before the garden
could be started 1t required a miracle OF
generalship to get IT done, considering the

And from that day. which had been two

box which was kept under the fiat rock

that brass box the child had watched, I'M

One day in April few girls and de-
cded to go to the woods which were a
mile away. We chose Saturday for the
day of our tramp.
Saturday came with its beautiful warm
sun and clear sky. We started in the
morning and took our lunch. When we
arrived at the woods we were very hungry
and ate our lunch. After that we started
to gather violets, Johnny-jump-ups, fern
leaves and sweet Williams.
There were robins and bluejays. The
robins seemed to be everywhere. There
was one robin which came to our lunch
and ate the crumbs which we fed it. He
was building a nest in a tree nearby and
we watched it for quite awhile. The blue
jays fitted from tree to tree, making their
peculiar noise,

awake, and worried till past midnight.
Then he arose and slipped into his clothes
and crept from the house going up the
mountainside TO the verge of Rock Gulch.
Peppo always loved the gulch by day, and
1t was grander by night as the shadows
deepened it. Long Peppo stood. looking
down into the gulch. Then, as he was
about TO turn and retrace his steps to tho
house, he saw a deep shadow--a tiny one
moving along the border of the gully to-
wards him. He did not feel afraid, but he
was most curious. for there was nothing
visible to make the moving shadow. A

AS the tiny shadow came near to Peppo II
stopped. Then a voice spoke II am the
Shadow Fairy, and know you are in trouble.
What can do for you little man?'
For a moment Peppo stood wondering.
Then he said; please, dear Shadow Fairy,
