weeks vacation with Uncle

the fun they would have. They knew
about feeding the chickens and watch
ing the milking and riding to town

Tip.
Tip was a pretty little white dog
not SO very little either but just the
right size to play with little girl Wis
itors. He had lived at Uncle Johns
only a week when the girls came and
so he was almost as much of a
stranger as they were. Perhaps that
was why he thought 1t was so jolly to
romp around with them and to ex-
plore all the sights of the farm.
One morning when the three were
running through the orchard they
sp.ed teeter-totter; a great, big, high
