Davie ran down the Dear lawn to
the tiny brook which ran across the
foot OF it. His new hockey skates
tangled over his right shoulder and
glittered in the sun.
Reaching the ice, he tested II
with the toe of his shoe, then with
the whole foot, after which he ven
tured to walk across it. Then he
applied the final test, which con-
sisted in jumping up and down with
all his might. The Ice bore his
weight nobly.
"It'l do" said Davie, turning
about and seampering back to the
house in search of Dorothy.
Dorothy was on the side porch,
dumping about in her new hip
boots. and wishing as hard as she
could for q blizzard, with drifts
deep enough to make the boots
worth while.
Take 'em off," cried Davie
eagerly, and get your skates, Dor
othy. The Ice down at the brook is
fine; as hard as-as anything.
Come on and we'll have some fun.
Dorothy looked down at her boots.
Il wish it'd snow" she said
slowly.
"Well, II isn't going to today, so
you might as well get your skates"
coaxed Davie; hurry up, Dor
o-thee; it isn't fun to skate alone.

.'I'll go down to the brook and
wait for you there" called Davie,
racing over the frozen ground.
When he reached the brook ne
seated himself on the bank and fell
to admiring his skates all over
again. In short time Dorothy
joined him.
why don't you put them on?
The ice'll melt fore you get on It
II you keep poking," she remarked
Look at mine. They're rusty and
oid-looking side of yours" And
Dorothy leaned over and clamped
the skates on, pulling the straps
snugly about her ankles. Then che
walked carefully down the bank to
the Ice, stepped on the slippery sur
face, teetered back and forth for a
moment, then took stroke or two
and slid to the opposite bank.
"Goody! l thought I'd forgotten
