She looked around to see who might
have done such a dreadful thing and
there, standing right UP in the fork of
tree was a wicked looking little
gnome-exactly the sort of a wicked
gnome who always made trouble in
story books. Peggy had always
thought that when she came across
this gnome in real life she would stand
up and talk to him and tell him he
ought to be good. But indeed she
didn't do that at all
She shivered back away from him
and great tears of fright ran down her
cheeks. She forgot that she was
little Dutch girl and that she was go
ing out for a brave adventure
But before the gnome had time to
tell her what wicked things he meant
to do when he carried her off to this
strange dark place, Peggy heard the
cheerful voice of her father calling,
Peggy! Peggy! Where are you.

She tried twice to speak. but
couldn't say word. But that didn't

Munching at her apple, she wan

place where she and her friend Ellen
played house: passed the place where
the rabbits had a nest. passed the pile
of boulders and the tiny creek where
the family sometimes had a picnic
supper. and into the far end of the
woods where she seldom went. And
then she sat down to finish her apple
and cookies and to decide just what
she should do next. The winter sun
looked SO red and beautiful in the
west, the oak trees. that keep their
leaves most Of the winter looked warm
and cheerful and Peggy was thinking
what a beautiful time she was having.

Down the stairs she went walking
as carefully as she could SO as not to
mar the floors with the wooden

stopped to get an apple and two
fresh spice cookies from the lot that
were spread so temptingly on the
kitchen table. Peggy loved spice
cookies and when they were made.
Peggy's mother always left them out
on the kitchen table to cool and to let
Peggy know that she could help her
