I don't | want to waste a minute while we! are here, Mother dear says there | are more stories here than in any other place she knows,” David came in brushing hard at his unruly “roach.” “If I could just te my hair back with a rib. bon like yours, I'd be ready, too, and besides, I have to fix my own!” “AL right! Peggy siggied, “Tie k cack; here's a ribbon,” David brushed aside the offered | pink bow and laughed back, “I guess mot! I'd rather brush all day than to wear a thing like | that.

And when Da vid came down Peggy was sitting on the broad banister of the wide cool porch and the story-teller was close by and they were look- ing up into a big leafy tree which stood at the corner of the house. “I planted that tree,” the Pio-| neer was saying. “Little bit of a! stick big as my finger; used to carry water for it in a bucket.” The children looked in wonder at the big tree, remembered how Jong it took the little fir tree in the Story Book to grow up, and couldn't see how anybody could be old enough to remember that far back. .

Well, what do you think when T tell you I waited 10 years-—as long as your life—for my wife?" Peggy was much impressed. “And she was waitin’, too, all of those many years?” she asked, “Yes, she waa waiting, too; way back in the state of Maine, she was waiting. “Year after year she gathered things together for her bridal chests—bdeautiful silks and linens, and hangings, and china and bed- ding and oh, #0 many clothes!

It's bet ter than having @ picture gallery of all your kith and kin, like kings do.
