BACK YARDS.
p. The, cherries on our side of the buck fence are still
preen. Nor birds nor boys lake thought in their direction,
iliut up among the foliage is a girl, poised cMiil'ortaMy on
' one big limb, with an arm over another, reading her
Youth's Companion wife from disturbance from the
'ninall fry. Over the fence an earlier variety lot" cherry is
beginning to show pale red. A'boy is up that tree--let us
hope his mother has -plenty of soda ,'mints and a.-sound hot
water bottle. She will need them ere dawn. The robins are
wiser; they have tried, and decided to wait. They are
following "Father who is planting vegetable needs. The
smallest daughter is following, too, trying to get the seeds
covered before the robins get them. There are gracklcs,
also, almost as tame md sunny as the robins,
. Roses brighten' tile twto Jong edges of the yard. The
(smallest boy is ;: . , .''

Up in the air so blue--Oh,
J do think it the pleasautest thing,
Ever a child can do!"
Another t'hild is investigating the baby peaches, hard
mid grecn.Jike marbles. The see-saw holds two more. Some
body hops over the edge with a ball and bat. "Baseball!"
rings through the air. Down drops Youths Companion,
followed in a second. by its reader. The swing seat flies
empty back and forth, the teeter flops to the ground.
Deserted is the half-ripe cherry crop (may lie the mother
can get her sleep out after all). A l'lash-a rush and the
yard is empty save for Eat her and the robins and the gra
ckles. And so quiet ! Down (he street where there is a back
yard diamond the dlan has gathered'.
