T was an exceedingly warm day out

I on the farm. The wind had tiled

completely down, and old Sol was

doing his best to make things hot for everybody. The bees hummed so softly and drowsily that one knew they must be half asleep; even the flowers drooped their heads to keep off the swelterlng sunshine and to take a little nap on the sly.

Polly dragged herself wearlly across the

orchard, meanwhile keeping her t-yes open for the biggest tree that nl-.ide the thickest 'shz-ide. Presently finding lt. she dropped down like a lump of lead, instead of like the very spry, lively lit- tle girl of 10 she really was. She thought she must be almost as old as grandma, who had just reached her fiftieth birth- day, and Polly thought that was "awful old." so old that she often wondt-red how it-was grandma could get around at all.. Of course. she didn't tell this to grandma, for somehow the old lady. as Polly thought her, didn't seem to be old at all-in fact, quite the contrary, especially when she was dressed up for church, with those new puffs on her head, which she had bought the last time she was in town, and that leghorn hat with a long, white feather sweeping over its upturned side. But there; this story is about Polly, noi. grandma!

As I have saitl,"`Poliy found the big,

broad treo she was hunting for and threw herself fiat down on the soft. green grass. lt wus a very nice place. l slmuldn'i have minded being there my- self if l'd had the chance.`

From under her half-closed lids I-‘oily

could see the men in the adjoining field busy taking in the hay. She could see brother Tom, who was only two years older than she, gathering up forkfuls a pretty big size for him, and tossing them into the wagon. 'I`0n1.was warm. too, and somewhat cross, hecause Brand- pa should think it wise for boys_to be kept nut of mischief by giving them a little work to do. So Polly smiled quiet- ly, all to herself, at Tom's fierce frown, for sho knew right well he couldn't see her 'way under those low-hanging branches, and so cou|dn`t tell grandma where she, was. Grandn-.:.. rarely idle herself, though; it was only right that

So there she etnyed, listening to the

voices of the men railing one to the other, thc soft pad, pad of the horses' feet, the gentle droning of the per- sistent hee, and nn ournsional chirp from a sleepy sparrow. ' All of a sudden, a funny-looking

little man stooped under the branches and pecped in at her.

"MY, What a lazy girl," said he,

“leaving your grandma to do all the clipplng and digging in the rose garden while you Come up here to loaf! Aren't you ashamed.. of your- self? Just come out now. l'm \vor_k- ing at something and l don't mean to do it alone when thert-'a a big. strong girl so near to help me. Hop up and get a. move on you‘." Polly stared wide-eyed at the _queer

iigure. She was annoyed athis famil- lur manner. yet afraid to resent it.

Polly grew desperate. "Now, see

Polly opened her eyes with u. start.
