Harriet ioked her head aruud th-?
door. Her thin cheeiis were fiushej with
excitement and exertion, and her
thoughtful brown eyes were unnatural
ly large and br.itut.
"I'm looking for pails." she replied.
"We used ti have a lot of them."
'Tails:" echoed Polly. In amazement.
"What do you want with palls? The
big eight-quart is up In the garret. I
filled it with water and put it there for
tire extinguisher. The s:x-iuan is
down in the cellar, full of tomatoes."
A few moments later a loud swash of
water from the attic was followed by
a howl of Indignation underneath the
parlor window, and a small boy. wrath
ful and dripping, tore into the kitchen.
"Who done It '?' he yelled. Jumpir.g up

"WLo done it. I say?"
"I didn't. Kil:s: It must have been
your Aunt Har.it she poured my pall

It's too bad. Come. I'll help you change

"I'm soaked through and throuch."
protested the boy. bitterly. "I'm 'most

"ihe d.du't intend to. Ellis. Lon't

"It'll take two doughnuts to dry me
off." said the eigh:-year-old. looking
more cheerful: "three, maybe," he add
ed, rather doubtfully.
"Well, you may have two small ones.
Kememle-r, I'll trust you to pick tiaem
out. Elii.s."
The abused one presently sneaked out
of the woodshed, tightly clutching the
two largest cake the pan had con
tained. "1 wasn't goin" to pick 'em over
to hnd the linle ones." he remarked to
easily soothed conscience.
"What is the matter with that boy?'
Iteked Harriet, descending. "I cenain
ueurd him scream."
"You doused him. that's a'L He Is
all right now. Li sit down and tell me

"Picnic! No! Business! Huoklelr

the dresser and breathing fast. "Tuere's

In full of them just right to pick, and
nobody knows it. I found it out this
morning coming back from Savage-'s.
I want you and Ellis and 'Gal' right
away. We can get oceans of them by
night."
Polly's mild blue eyes, so like her
mother's, opened wide as she looked
earchingly at her sister.
"You crazy thing!" she said. "Go up
yourself, and get two or three quarts
that's all we can eat."
"Eat!" burst out Harriet. "I'm not
going to eat them. I'm going to sell
them. Polly." ,
"Sell them!" gasped hr companion, Iu
cousieiLiation. '"Jh, Hattie. you can't

Harriet hopped off the dresser. "I

in the heat had passed as a grateful re

"It's lucky we brought a big lunch."
remarked Polly, as they prepared to
start homeward. "1 think Ellis has re
freshed himself very regularly every
hour on what was left over. Every
s;rap Is gone. Well, he has ben con

sorry when Frances sends for him next

Gal. "His appetite's mighty, but thet's

Polly patted him on the arm. "You
