Here we arer' called Theodore,
swinging his pail, as he ran down the
hill. Were all going to pick. and
we'll call it a huckleberry bee. Our
mothers say they'll take all the berries
we can pick and pay US 10 cents

Soon the berries began to rattle in
the bright tin pals, and from all sides
came shouts Of delight Us each child
found q bush that seemed fuller than
the rest.
When the noon whistles blew and
the children all went home with Theo-
dore and Dorothy to carry their ber-
ries they found that they had picked
twenty quarts.
You can guess how happy Otis and
Nellie were when they started for
Mrs. Coates, each with a dollar bill,
one. for Donald and one for Rosa. If
Mrs. Coates would take her too.
"Well come right back after dinner
and tell you If she WILL" they called
as they ran up the hill.
It seemed only few minutes be-
fore they were back again.
"She will! She WILL" they cried to
Theodore and Dorothy. who had seen
them coming and run out on the
piazza.
As soon as Theodore and Dorothy
had finished their luncheon they ran
to tell the other children.
Four days later as the noon train
came putting in Mr.. Coates large farm
wagon stood by the station platform.
The bottom Of 1t bad been spread
with straw, and on the high seat was
Mr.. Coates.
In the cart were Otis and Nellie,

HOW ROSA SAW
The COUNTRY

It was only 8 o'clock in the morn.
Ing, but it was already very warm.
Theodore had said, Lets play we
were discoverers," so he and Dorothy
we're climbing the long hill back OF
The house. Theodore was Balboa, and
Dorothy was one Of his men.
There; that's the Pacific ocean,.
Theodore said when they reached the
top of the hill.
"Where that boy and girl are pick
Ing huckleberries, tool" asked Dorothy.
Theodore watched the boy and girl
picking berries In the lot at the foot Of
the hill. "And I think those are saw
ages" he said. Lets 60 down"
Aren't you afraidT asked Dorothy,
with a very good play shudder.
NO." said Theodore. "Keep close
to me-"
Dorothy kept close to Theodore, and
together they went down the hill.
When they reached the lot where
the children were they, climbed the
bars.
How do you do?" said Theodore.
"What are your names?"
LOTS Savage and Nellie Savage"
said the boy.
Theodore looked at Dorothy. isn't
It funny?" he said. "They are Saw
agesF'
Don't you want to play 'discoverers'
with us?" he asked the boy.
Otis shook his head. 1--WE want to
pick ten quarts Of huckleberries today
II we can," he said. They'll pay US
8 cents a quart for them at the store,
and when we've earned 80 cents we
can send for a friend Of ours to come
up from New York. He's never seen
the country, and Mrs. Coates says she'll
take him for two weeks II we'll pay
for his ticket"
Hes never seen the country" the
girl repeated. "His name is Donald
McGrath, and he has sister, Rosa,
and she's never seen 1t either. But
Donalds had broken arm, SO were
going to send for him."
By this time Theodore had decided
that Otis and Nellie Savage must be
the two fresh air. children who were
staying at Mrs. Coates.
would you like to have US help
pick" he asked.
"Tiptop, If you'd Ike to-" said Otis.
Maybe we could all pick enough to
send for Rosa, too" said Nellie.
"All right. Wen get some pals and
tell mother"
Theodore and Dorothy ran up the
hill and down the other side as fast
as they could. When they came back
they had with them the two Peck chill
