of a wonderful scheme. Fred and
her father were in the little pasture,
breaking in the colt. She heard their
shouts, but she wasn't sorry for the
colt. Her father never used whip or
spurs.
Behind the house there was a fine
grove of sugar naples which were
now afame with autumn tints, and
under them the ferns grew in thick
masses. Bella had brought old shears
and a large basket and she set to work
at once and picked and picked ferns
until dinner time. Fred promised to
help her that afternoon, so they
picked together until they had a great
pile, then they tied them into punches.
"You see." said Bella, Bert Is lame
and so we'll help him."
About four o'clock. Bert came back
along the road. the back of his buggy
full of ferns. Out ran Fred and
hailed him.

him from saying anything, Fred and
Bella ran to get the ferns. Bella came
back first with a large basket piled
high with fragrant fronds.

I'm going to Maple Ridge, If you
