 We took off our shoes and stockings and started to wade across. It was a rocky bed and We slipped many times. Every step we took the water rose higher and higher and at last it was deep we had to swim.
 l was swimming with one hand and had the berries in the other. when all of q sudden I dropped my arm that held the berries and soon they were all floating down the stream We all laughed and finally we reached the other side. safe. but drenched. When we reached home we lad a good deal Of fun telling about our experiences That night we went to own and sold our berries.

The Walk.

Two of my friends and I were talk ing walk one lovely May day.
 When we were about q mile from home we were in the woods.
 When we were taking a rest we were startled by q noise. So one of my friends said.
 Let US go and sec what it is"
 So the three of us started and we saw a dog.
 Then we walked into the woods and the dog followed us.
 We all sat down and started to eat our Inuches. when the dog started in barking so we gave him something to eat.
 We saw many beautiful flowers, such as wild geraniums and wild roses.
 We also saw a beautiful little pine tree just comng up to see the new world.
 The little dos seemed to be inte- resting in our affairs and he kept fol- lowing us.
 And when we got home a little boy came running up to us and said
 "Oh, have you found my doggy Prince?''
 And We answered
 Yes, Tommy"
 And so it was a dog that belonged to one of our neighbors. They had missed the dog over Saturday.
 So I will now end my story.

A grouchy neishbor, cane in hand confronted the Giant Juniors at first base, which happened to be a lamp post.
 Which one of you rascaIs batted the ball that broke my upstairs window ?" he growled humping the pavement menacingly III with his stick.
 Each member of the team looked as innocent as a china doll. None spoke
 Then an idea came to the grouchy neighbor. He permitted smile to drive away the look of anger on his face.
 Say, boys he said merriIy, T was only joking about that window pane. I used to play baseball myself when I was a boy. You have a fine team here, but it seems to me you are little weak in batting. I doubt if there is one of you, who could knock a ball over that corner house.

Two children were talking merrily as they walked home from their school picnic.
 The oldest one. May. said to her sis Cer, frances: "Oh, Frances, won't we have fun all vacation staying with Aunt Mary. No old books to study, and no dishes to wash or wipe"
 Frances thought a minute and said:
 Yes we shall have great fun, but don't you think mamma looks rather tired and she never has vacation? :?
 All she thinks of is ours, but we never think she needs one. You are thirteen and I am nearly twelve. We could keep house for a week or two, and let her go to Aunt Mary's.''
 1t first Mary's face looked stub born at the thought of losing her Ionged for vacation. but soon it grew sunny again and the sparkles came back into her eyes.
 Good for you, Frances." said May. You are always looking to help someone else. Mamma won't want to have us lose our vacation but it will do her 9 world of good.
 That night the girls told their moth CT of their plan, and no happier girls could be found as Frances and May were when they saw the joy in their mothers face at the thoughts of a vacation a Aunt Mary's

 When we wont to breakfast, we found the dining saloon decorated with red and green streamers and flags Of all nations, and an enormous teddy bear suspended in the middle of the. ceiling On each table was a beautiful shortDread. iced with choc- olate and bearing the words Merry Christmas.
 After breakfast I went up on deck with my new violin. As i came up the orchestra was resting. and a big fat man with d cello and q jolly smile called out, Come and join the or chestra. little girl"
 At this all the other musicians laughed, and I replied shyly; T would like to- sir but I cant make any music on my violin.
 At this they all laughed again. and the fat man said: Come here and lei me see what 1 can do with it." He tinlxered with it a few moments. but finally handed it back with remarks which made them all laugh again.
 then went out on deck and met a steamer acquaintance named Mir. Green. who wished me Merry Christmas. examined my violin. and presented me with funny little auto which would run in circles on the deck. We played with it until my fla ther came in search of me. As 1 prom enaded the deck with him we met several other steamer acquaintances, who ga .-o me toys and made much Of me. as was the only child in the first class.
 So passed a very happy Christmas which I shall always remember.
