sweet and pleasant to eat.
A little boy named Ben picked the
berries for it. He went out TO the
field. where the wild strawberries
grew. ati by himself; and. when he
came home he had q bucket full OF
the very ripest and reddest ones
A little girl. Cousin Pen, Who was
visiting on the farm. capped the
berries and that was rot nearly Sc
easy to do as it sounds. 1t took
Cousin Een every bit of IL half hour

A big boy almost nine years old,
whom every one called Brother Fred
cut the wood and split the klndllng
and made the fire that baked the
pastry for the strawberry shortcake
He had q little axe of his own, and
the way he could make chips fly was
simply astonishing Mamma said IL
he kept on as he had begun, he would
be as much help as his papa when he
grew ny.
Papa WAS away Mt work when the
shortcake was made, and. when he
came hons to dinner, nobody said

tell him there was a dessert. They

said and she slipped out into the

however, as If he had changed his

He smiled at the thought and the sure
knowledge that he was not the only

be fooled by a vulpine grandmother?
Truth, when fellow Winnowed 1t all

silence, his hand gently rubbing his
chin; for he did possess the trick Of
talking aloud, in a low monotone, a
habit acquired during periods of lone

voice had succeeded in steadying his

Odd thing, a man can do almost any
thing but direct his affections; they
must be drawn. She was not for him;
