The house was so far from the village and they were so unused to the countr that the little grove back of the ho seemed very dark and solemn after sun- sel. "I could forget about the sha- dows," Helen said, "if 1t weren't for the screechy tree-toads)' But grandpa explained about fhe ha bits of these lititle animals, and the Seemed more friendly, and it was no lcng before their song seemed as na- tural as the biabble of the brook. They used to go to the post-office every day to get the mail, and after a hile they began to say "Hello!" to the hildren they met on the way; and when the sewing<ircle met at grandma'g, seme of the number brought their chit ren. One day they recelved an invitation written on birch bark. It sald: "Mar jerie and Helen are invited to a barefoot Picnic in long meadow Saturday morn- ng." y could not imagine what kimd <! a picnic this could be, and could hardly wait for the day. When they were ready to start that morning, grandpa gave them some wonderful toy boats, newly ri ged an painted. They were so Pleads wit these they wondered if they ought to lake them to the picnic when the others cculd not have them; but when they jcined the children at the cross-roa they found that grandpa had provid ¢ne for each child, and the barefoot part was to be wading in the brook. Marjorie and Helen had been to many purties and learned to play all the jolly house games, but they never had so geod time as they did that day, sall ing boats in lhe long brook. The company was divided into "sides," and the navigation of the brook was eslablished. At first the girls felt a lit- {le shy to be playing in this fashion with the others, but they soon forgot this I a busy attempt to get a cargo of wheat safely from the Great Liakes to the Gull of Mexico. Each one had brought a small basket <! luncheon, which they ate under a big elm-tree, while the boals were sup- pcsed lo be unloading in their various perils. Al four o'clock grandpa came drivin up the fleld with a load of hay, an they all piled into the rick, and tramp- ing and singing, rode back to the barn. "I wonder what made us lonesome at first?" said Marjorie, when the day was over. "There is so much more to do here than al home." WHAT THE BIRDS SAID. "I think these cherries are ripe. They're as red as they can be." Harry stood by his window and look- ed out at the chery-tree just before ue went to bed. Grandma had told hi they must not be touched far some day: yet. "I can sce them shining red in the moonlight. Il I get up early In the mcerning no one will know if [ take some." Harry left the curtain up( so that the sun would awaken him carly, It did. As we all know, the sun is a very early riser. Harry lay for a few minutes half- asleep. Just outside the ope window the rds were singing. They brought lo Harry's mind a funny story grandma had told him the night tefore, in which some little boys had fancied they heard words in the bird twitter, "I wonder if you really can?' said Harry. "There, now! Hear that cone so near to the window." "Cherry-tr.e, cherry-treel" chirped the bird. Harry opened his eyes wide. "It certainly did say it!" again: "Cherry-tree, cherry-tree, cherry-treel' He listened as a soft cooing came from a tree farther cff. "l do believe il says, Don't--touch!'" By this time all the birds were join- irg in the chorus, and if you could have heard itl Warble, coo, twitter, trill, chirp. "Cherry-tree, cherry-irce, cherry-iree- tree-tree treetreetree!

"I'd be ashamed to have these birds know I'd do a mean thing." Three days laler grandma gave him a handful of cherries.
