+A RECKLESS RIDE.
+
+
+Reckless Ina, she was called, because she did so many reckless things.
+But her name was Ina Bradford. She had no brothers, so she used to tell
+her father that she would be his boy. And it was no trial to Ina do
+boy's work.
+
+Dish-washing she particularly disliked. And as to sewing--why, she had
+rather go ragged any time than sew up the rents in her dress.
+
+The one thing that Ina enjoyed more than anything else in the world, was
+riding on horseback. Her father kept several horses. And he was
+perfectly willing she should use any of the farm horses whenever she
+liked. But Black Jupiter she must never touch. He was a large,
+high-spirited horse, very unsafe for a young girl. But oh! how Ina
+longed to get on Jupiter's back.
+
+One day when her father had gone away Ina resolved to try. She put
+bridle and saddle on without trouble. But the moment Black Jupiter felt
+her weight on his back, he started on a run up the street. At first Ina
+thought it great fun, but by and by her arms ached so she could scarcely
+hold the bridle. And when Jupiter jumped at the cackling of a goose, Ina
+would have fallen if a strong, brave boy had not caught the bridle. Ina
+did not care to ride Black Jupiter again.

+THE FISHING BOAT NANCY.
+
+
+Here is the fish-ing boat Nan-cy. But where is the fish-er-man? Oh! he
+has gone up the beach to his house to see his wife and his lit-tle
+daugh-ter. He was in a great hur-ry, for he did not wait to take down
+his sails, but on-ly made the boat fast to an old pile.
+
+The rea-son of his haste was that his lit-tle daugh-ter Bess is quite
+ill. He had to go to sea this morn-ing, for he is a poor man, and must
+work ev-er-y day, but when he left Bess was in a fe-ver. All day long he
+has been ve-ry anx-ious. But now good news is wait-ing him. At four
+o'clock the fe-ver left her, and she is much bet-ter, and is wait-ing
+for her pa-pa to come in. How glad he will be! But he can-not stop long
+now, on-ly just to give her a kiss, for the boat must be ta-ken care of,
+and the fish that he has caught must be sent to mar-ket; so back he will
+go, but he will work now with a light-er heart, for his fear is gone.

+made such a noise. Then, all at once, the noise stopped. "The ar-my will
+lie down, and go to sleep for the night," said Dick. The ar-my lay down
+to play sleep, and in a twin-kling it fell in-to a real sleep. Ev-er-y
+man was in the land of Nod. Jane, who had been out to the barn for a
+bas-ket of ap-ples, was so sur-prised at the sight, that three great red

+    A-las! a-las! dear chil-dren all,

+THE SHARK.
+
+
+What great fish is this? It is a shark. He is fast now, and the men will
+soon have him up on the ship's deck, where they will make an end of him.
+
+Sharks are ve-ry fierce. They are so large, too, that they can eat up a
+man with-out a-ny trou-ble. In some parts of the world peo-ple nev-er
+dare go in bath-ing, be-cause of them. You can see in the pic-ture what
+great teeth they have. This fel-low has been at ma-ny a bad piece of
+work, I have no doubt; but now all his pranks are at an end. He has
+fol-lowed the ship mile af-ter mile to pick up a-ny scraps that were
+thrown o-ver, and they have tast-ed so well, that when he saw a great
+piece of pork come splash in-to the wa-ter, he swal-lowed it down
+with-out stopping to think that there might be a hook in it. Then all at
+once he found that he was fast. Strug-gle as hard as he could, it was of
+no use; he was held fast.

+cry, and ran to Meg, and clutched tight hold of her dress. Meg soon set

+as to say, "What a fool-ish child this is! I give her milk ev-er-y day."

+when you squeezed it; and she tucked it un-der her arm, and took it all
+a-bout from room to room with her. Pol-ly at last, when she saw how much
+she liked it, gave it to her for her ver-y own; and Bet-ty went home

+    She soft-ly cried;
+    Then on her head
+    Her hood she tied,
+    Took down the cage
+    Of her own bird,
+    Opened the door,
+    With joy-ous word.

+lined it with leaves, and cut small holes in it, that the air might pass
+in and out.
+

+
+The next morn-ing they o-pened the box, and put them on the grass: they

+are locked in-to each oth-er's. It some-times hap-pens in these fights
+that the ant-lers get so fast-ened to-geth-er that the stags can-not get

+"We must tell John to look for him," said Grace. "There he is! Let's

+
+This dog's name is Puck, and a ve-ry wide-a-wake dog he is, as you may
+see from the pic-ture. His mis-tress is a lit-tle girl named Bell, and
+he is ve-ry fond of her. At night he sleeps coiled up at the foot of her
+bed. Some-times when she wakes she finds him ly-ing on the pillow, with
+his head close to her cheek, and one ve-ry cold night he man-aged to get
+in bed un-der the clothes. He is a ve-ry clever dog. If you tell him to
+beg, he will sit on his hind paws and wave his fore paws in the air. If
+he is thirs-ty, he will bring his cup for you to fill it with wa-ter for
+him.
+
+The first time Bell ev-er saw her dog was in the street. He had lost his
+mas-ter, and came to her for help. She could not find his home for him,
+so she took him home with her, and there he has lived ev-er since. Now
+he has for-got-ten his old mas-ter en-tire-ly, and cares for on-ly
+Bell.

+"MEW-MEW!" said two lit-tle wee black kit-tens. Grace stooped down, and
+picked one of them up. "Mew!" it said, and then tried to play with the
+neck-lace she had on. The oth-er kit-ten did not like this at all. She
+pulled at Grace's dress with her small black paw. So then she was tak-en
+up too, and both soon snug-gled down in Grace's lap, and went fast
+a-sleep. But where was the mam-ma cat all this time? She had gone back
+to the barn, where all her kit-tens were born, to bring an-oth-er one to
+the house, to show her mis-tress what a fine fam-i-ly she had. She had
+hard work to get in; for John, the man, had closed the doors. She
+walked a-round the barn, and at the back she found a win-dow o-pen. Ned,
+the don-key, had his head out of it; but she scram-bled in be-side him,
+and took up an-oth-er kit-ten in her mouth, and ran back to the house
+a-gain.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+When she reached it, she found that Jane had closed the front-door. She
+mewed as loud as she could; but it was some time be-fore an-y one heard
+her, and o-pened it. But at last she reached her mis-tress safe-ly with
+her third child. She her-self was white, and so was one of the kit-tens.

+the dark, and it was crushed in-to bits. So Kate was cry-ing; for poor
+Ar-a-min-ta Jane was her pride and joy. Just then her broth-er Rob came
+in. "Why, you poor lit-tle girl!" he said. "I am so sor-ry! If you will
+come out with me, I will show you how to play crick-et; and you shall
+use my new bat." Kate cheered up ver-y much at this, and ran to put on
+her hat. Rob was so kind to her that she had a ver-y good time, and

+"Rebie'll be our new sister; won't she?" said Elvie.

+"Yes, we will. I guess--Oh! there's papa, now. And--oh! Marion! Rebie's
+crying. Let's go kiss her."
+
+Out ran the two little girls, while mamma stood in the doorway with
+little Ernest, and aunt Maria stood on the steps.
+
+Little Rebie couldn't help crying, yet she liked her new home for all
+that. But her cousins kissed her so lovingly, that Rebie soon smiled
+through her tears.
+
+And when baby Ernest said, "Ernie love oo, tousin Rebie," she laughed a
+soft little laugh. Then they thought Rebie wouldn't feel lonely any
+more.
+
+"I think your papa _most_ as good as my papa," Rebie whispered to Elvie
+after they had gone to bed that night. Elvie thought him a _little_
+better, but she was too polite to say so.

+world. And I don't think Gyp would have enjoyed any other half so well.
+It was papa's big boat.
+
+They could sit in it and see mamma when she came to the door of the
+little house near by, where they lived. And they could watch papa as he
+went out in his small boat, or dory, as he called it. Harry could see
+him far out on the water by standing up on the side of the boat. Little
+Violet was afraid to climb up so high.
+
+Sometimes Harry and Violet took their dinner and ate it in the boat.
+Then Gyp always shared it with them. He would sit beside them in the
+boat, or perhaps lie on the sand and wait for Harry to throw him his
+share bit by bit.
+
+The children liked to make Gyp speak for his dinner. But best of all,
+they liked to toss it up, and see Gyp spring and catch it in his mouth.
+
+One day, when they were playing near the water, Violet's sun-bonnet blew
+off, and a wave washed it out beyond her reach. Then Gyp was ready to
+help his little mistress. He swam out, seized it in his mouth, and soon
+laid it at Violet's feet. She was so glad she hugged him, wet as he was.
+And he repaid her, by shaking himself and sprinkling her all over.

+
+WHO IS TO BLAME?
+
+
+POOR little Carlos stood thinking. He did not know what to do. He wanted
+to tell the truth, yet he didn't like to have mamma blame him for
+breaking Sylvia's doll. And he didn't think he was all to blame either.
+The butterfly and Dandy both helped, he thought.
+
+This was the way it happened. A beautiful large butterfly came through
+the open window into the dining-room, then flitted out into the hall.
+Carlos and his dog Dandy gave chase. Once, in his eagerness, he stumbled
+over Dandy. And in trying to escape a fall he knocked the doll to the
+floor. There was the body in one place, the head in another. Why did
+Sylvia leave it right in his way?
+
+At last Carlos decided to do the best thing--go and tell mamma all about
+it.
+
+Mamma listened patiently. Then she told Carlos that it would have been
+better not to try to catch the butterfly. The pretty thing would die if
+he caught it and shut it up.
+
+Mamma told Carlos that Sylvia was partly to blame for leaving her doll
+in such a place. But Carlos must be more careful next time.
+
+Carlos felt very happy as he ran out of doors with Dandy. And he thought
+it the nicest way in the world, to go and tell mamma everything.

+
+ONLY A BIRD.
+
+
+CAN you see the old man behind his rows of cages? In them are many poor
+little birds. They cannot fly about in the pure sweet air. The old man
+sells them. That is the way he earns his money.
+
+Then why does he look so displeased? The young man, with the empty cage
+in his hand, has just bought a bird and laid the money on the counter.
+
+The young man loves birds so well that he bought one on purpose to set
+it free.
+
+The old man is wishing he could get the bird and sell it again. He
+thinks it foolish to throw away money. And he tells the young man so.
+
+"Not thrown away, my friend," says the young man. "It is well spent if
+it gives pleasure even to the smallest creature."
+
+"'Twas only a bird," insists the old man.
+
+"But God made the birds. And not one falls to the ground without his
+notice. I think we shall have to give an account of the way we treat his
+birds."
+
+"Well, I wish I had that one again."
+
+"And I wish I could open all these cages."

+
+WHAT A KISS DID.
+
+
+BABY Bell thought she could do just as she pleased everywhere, and with
+everybody. And she generally did. She even trotted into Mrs. Burnett's,
+a sad, lonely woman, who lived all alone by herself in the next house.
+
+One day she came pattering into the room where Mrs. Burnett sat. She
+clung to her dress. She looked up lovingly into the sad face. Then she
+lisped forth,--
+
+"_Miss Nett_, Baby Bell tiss you."
+
+Then she put up her sweet lips to give a kiss. Who could resist such a
+baby? Not even Mrs. Burnett. She took the child on her lap, and covered
+her face with kisses and tears. Baby Bell looked on wonderingly.
+
+When papa came for her she said, "_Miss Nett_ tryin', Baby Bell tiss her
+lots."
+
+Mrs. Burnett explained. "I lost a baby just her age. I felt since that I
+had no one to love me. But Baby Bell loves me, I am sure. I hope she
+will come often."
+
+"As often as you and she wish," said papa.
+
+"Baby Bell tum ev'y day--tum see _Miss Nett_. Baby Bell love _Miss
+Nett_," added the baby, looking back over papa's shoulder.

+FRANKIE MINDS MAMMA.
+
+
+UNCLE SOL was going to take a party of boys out in his boat. All had
+scrambled in but one little fellow, the smallest of the party.
+
+"Tumble in, Frankie," said Uncle Sol. But still Frankie hesitated.
+
+"Don't you want to go?" asked the old sailor.
+
+"Yes, sir," answered Frankie, slowly, "but mamma doesn't like to have me
+go on the water."
+
+"Why?"
+
+"She's afraid since papa was drowned."
+
+"Don't go, then, my boy. Don't worry your mother. She's had trouble
+enough already;" and Uncle Sol began to push the boat out into the
+water.
+
+"Pooh! Come on!" shouted Horace, the tallest boy in the boat. "Your
+mother'll never know. We'll keep dark."
+
+"Don't you go to learnin' Frankie any bad ways," said Uncle Sol,
+sternly. "Boys never come to much in the world unless they mind their
+mother. I've always noticed that."
+
+Horace sat down rather ashamed of his bold words. And little Frankie
+looked at Uncle Sol gratefully, saying, "I know mama'll be glad to have
+me come home:" and with a happy laugh he ran away from the boat.

+
+
+POOR JOE.
+
+
+"YOU may put on your coat now, Hugh, and take these things to Mrs.
+Larry. You have barely time before school, you must hurry."
+
+"Must I go this morning, mother, why can't I go to-night, or this noon?"
+
+"There'll not be time at noon. And before night Joe may want some of
+these things. You may do, however, just as you think you would like to
+have Joe do, if he was in your place and you in his. Poor Joe needs
+better food than his mother is able to buy. You wouldn't have him suffer
+for the sake of skating, would you?"
+
+Hugh thought a minute. At last he said, "I know if I was in Joe's place,
+I should want somebody to bring me a heap of things. Guess I'll go,
+mother."
+
+His mother smiled to hear him whistle as he ran from the yard. Just
+before school he rushed in.
+
+"Say, mother, can I buy Joe some oranges? He's white--he's white as your
+ruffled apron. I've fifty cents. I'll spend half for Joe."
+
+Hugh's mother kissed him before she said yes. And her eyes filled with
+glad tears as he ran out whistling more merrily than before.

+SICK MOLLY.
+
+
+"GUESS I'll hurry home," said the rough miner when some of his mates
+urged him to go to the saloon, "Molly'll miss me."
+
+Nothing seemed so pleasant at night as to see his little Molly standing
+in the doorway to greet him when he came home. But to-night she was not
+in her usual place.
+
+"Where's Molly?" he quickly asked, entering the kitchen. Before his wife
+could speak, he saw Molly in her mother's arms with her eyes closed.
+
+"What is it?" he asked, in a hushed voice.
+
+"I--don't--know," sobbed the poor mother. "She complained--of being
+tired. And she wanted--me to hold her. I've held her--nearly all day.
+I'm _so_ glad--you've come, Jake. Do run for the doctor."
+
+"Yes, I will;" and without another word he hurried to the village.
+
+"Will she live?" were his first words after the doctor entered the
+house.
+
+"I hope so," was the cheery answer. "Put her feet in warm water as soon
+as possible. And here is a powder for her. I'll come over in the
+morning. Think she'll be better then."
+
+To the miner's great delight, Molly's blue eyes opened the next morning.
+But if he had gone to the saloon, it might have been different.

+BABY RALPH'S LETTER.
+
+
+GOLDEN-HAIRED, blue-eyed, sweet-mouthed Baby Ralph lay, a cunning little
+white heap, in his willow cradle.
+
+While he slept, papa and mamma came softly into the room--dropped the
+lightest and sweetest of kisses on the dear baby face, then stole
+quietly out and away to the big city. Did Baby Ralph like this? You will
+hardly think so when you read his letter. Here it is:
+
+     "MY OWN PAPA AND MAMMA,--Does you want to hear 'bout me? You
+     thinked I didn't know you runned way off and left your little baby
+     boy all 'lone. But I did. And I waked up and cried--and cried. And
+     Auntie May looked sober--and grandma looked sober--and grandpa
+     whistled--and I cried hard. Then Auntie May put something in my
+     bottle. 'Twas good, and I didn't cry. But Auntie May bringed water,
+     and put some on my face, and I didn't like it. And I cried
+     awful--so awful Auntie May stopped. Wish you's here, 'cause I don't
+     feel good. If my papa and my mamma's here I'd feel gooder--wouldn't
+     fuss any bit. Wish you's here, I do, to kiss your own
+
+     BABY RALPH."
+
+Did this bring Baby Ralph's papa and mamma? Yes, indeed. And they took
+him and Auntie May back to the big city.

+OUR LITTLE HAND-ORGAN MAN.
+
+
+NEARER and nearer the sitting-room door came the patter of little feet.
+And this queer song was heard over and over:
+
+"Herbie--is--_organ_-hand man!"
+
+Then in pranced our little three-year-old Herbie, his eyes bright, his
+right hand going round and round to imitate the hand-organ man. Under
+his left arm was a cricket.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Look here!" said papa, laughing heartily, "you've got the cart before
+the horse. It's hand-organ, not organ-hand."
+"Herbie--is--_organ_-hand-man!"
+
+His eyes only shone the brighter as he persisted in his funny mistake.
+
+
+
+
+GOING TO BOSTON.
+
+
+"WHERE let's go to-day?" asked Elsie, as the three children ran out of
+doors.
+
+"Guess we'll go to Boston," answered Abe. And little Andy echoed,
+"Boston--Boston to-day."
+
+So all three ran to the trunk of a large tree, lying on the ground. Tip,
+their dog, followed. They never went anywhere without Tip.
+
+Andy held the whip, so he sat nearest the horse and drove. Careful Abe
+sat next. He had to hold Andy for fear of a fall. Elsie had nothing else
+to do so she held her hat up on a stick. "So folks'll see we're comin',"
+she told Abe.

+
+MR. FOX IS SURE.
+
+
+FOXES are very sly. If they want a tender chicken for dinner, they don't
+walk into the poultry yard in broad daylight. Our Mr. Fox knows better
+than that. He waits till all is still at night. Then he steals across
+the yard, and peeps into the hen-house.
+
+All is quiet, so he steps in. Now he stops a moment to listen. He wants
+to be sure that the big dog asleep near the house isn't after him. He
+hears nothing, so he looks around for the hens.
+
+There they are, asleep on a high roost. Can he get them? His eyes shine.
+His mouth waters. He must have one somehow.
+
+He is careful not to make a bit of noise--the sly fellow.
+
+Mr. Fox is sure he can get one now. He reaches up till his black nose
+nearly touches the rooster's long tail-feathers.
+
+He is all ready for a spring, when a rush and a loud barking is heard.
+The dog has scented the fox. So, instead of getting a nice, fat chicken
+for dinner, Mr. Fox has to run for his life. And the dog is close
+behind. So close that Mr. Fox fears that he himself may make a dinner
+for the dog. But he reaches his hole safely.
+

+
+
+
+DOLLY KNITS, THEN HIDES.
+
+
+CUNNING little Dolly often gets into mischief. She thinks she can do
+just what grandma and mamma do. One day grandma fell asleep and her
+knitting dropped to the floor.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Dolly soon spied it, and the spectacles, too. She picked both up and
+climbed into a big chair. Before beginning to knit she thought of
+something else.
+
+"Dess Dolly'll put on drandma's tean tap."
+
+So she got the clean cap from the table, and climbed into the big chair
+again. After putting on cap and spectacles, Dolly tried to knit. But she
+only pulled the needles out, and tangled the yarn. And grandma was
+stirring, too. What would she say to Dolly when she woke up?
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Dolly was afraid grandma wouldn't like it, so she slipped from the chair
+and hid behind the clock.
+
+"Where's my work?" asked grandma. "Has Dolly been here?"
+
+"Dolly's done 'way," answered a voice behind the clock.
+
+
+
+
+HATTIE AND THE BUTTERFLY.
+
+
+LITTLE Hattie Vaughn was playing in the back yard, when she saw a
+beautiful butterfly light on a clover blossom just outside the gate. She
+wished she could catch it. So she opened the gate and walked softly the
+butterfly.
+
+Her hand was almost on it, when the butterfly rose lightly in the air
+and sailed away toward the woods.
+
+Hattie watched it. Soon it settled down on a wild lily the other side of
+a rail fence. Hattie crawled through the fence and came close to the
+pretty butterfly again.
+
+But just as her hand came near, away it flew further into the woods.
+Hattie followed. By and by she lost sight of the butterfly. She was
+tired, and wanted to go home. But she did not know the way. She was
+lost. She began to cry, and cried herself to sleep.
+
+Brother Dick found her sleeping under a large tree. Dick and his father
+had been looking for Hattie some time. He sat down beside her and
+thought he would not wake her till his father came. But the moment his
+father spoke, Hattie opened her eyes. She was not afraid with her father
+and Dick near.
+
+[Illustration: HATTIE AND THE BUTTERFLY.]

+
+
+
+THE GYPSY CAMP.
+
+
+THE camp was not near the village. It was near the woods. The Gypsies
+chose the place because they could get plenty of dry brush to burn. And
+there was a brook near by where they could get good water. Some of the
+village children thought at first that it would be fine sport to live
+so: never to go to school--never to learn lessons--never to dress up
+clean--always run about as they pleased and where they pleased.
+
+But after the Gypsies had been there a long time, they thought
+differently. They saw the dirty, ragged children carrying big kettles of
+water from the brook, or large bundles of brush from the woods. They
+learned that the women and children did all the work. Perhaps the men
+stole many of the things they had to eat. And one day when two or three
+boys ventured into the camp, they saw, in one of the tents, a poor, sick
+child lying on the bare ground. No one was near it.
+
+They went to their pleasant, comfortable homes, feeling that it was
+better to have a good father and mother to care for them, even if they
+did send them to school and require them to learn lessons.

+
+WALTER'S BUTTERFLIES.
+
+
+"AUNTIE," said Walter, "is't naughty to catch butterflies?"
+
+"I think if I was a little boy, I'd rather see them flying about in the
+sunshine, than shut up in a box or under a glass."
+
+"But is't _wicked_ to kill them?" persisted Walter.
+
+"I think if a little boy caught and killed them because he enjoyed
+seeing them suffer, it would be very wrong. God made all the birds and
+insects to be happy. He don't want us to treat them cruelly."
+
+"But, auntie, there's a great big house in Boston, not far from papa's
+house, and it's most full of dead birds, and spiders, and bugs, and
+butterflies, and everything.
+
+"Yes, Walter, I have been there. But the men who caught the birds and
+insects did not kill them just for the sake of killing something. They
+wished to learn all about the birds and insects in different countries."
+
+"But, auntie," said Walter eagerly, "I saw some ladies when I was out
+yesterday, with birds stuck in their hats. Guess they's wicked."
+
+"Yes, Walter, it's wrong, I think, to kill the pretty little birds to
+wear as ornaments. We should let them live as long as they will."

+
+
+DOT'S NEW FRIEND.
+
+
+DOT didn't care for such playthings as little girls generally liked. She
+wanted to play out of doors with the boys. And poor little Dot's mother
+didn't care where she played, if she was only out of her way so she
+could get her washing along.
+
+She was a poor washerwoman, and had to work very hard to get something
+for her three children to eat. So Dot had full liberty to go and come as
+she pleased. And it pleased her to play with her brothers. They
+generally went out near the water.
+
+One day Dot was digging in the sand with Ivan's little shovel. "Le's
+have that," said Ivan. "I want to use it now."
+
+"No. Dot wants it," replied the child stoutly.
+
+"Well, you can't have it. So hand it along."
+
+"Dot will have it," was her answer. Then she disappeared behind a large
+boat. Ivan ran after her, and, like Dot, came near running against a
+lady who sat on the sand with a book in her lap. She was talking to Dot.
+
+"Le's have my shovel," interrupted Ivan.
+
+"Give it to him, dear, and I will get you another," said the lady. Dot
+was charmed by the gentle voice, and gave up the shovel without a word.
+Dot saw the lady many times after that.

+
+BRAVE HAL.
+
+
+"HERE I am, all right, little mother! I'll save you all," said brave
+Hal, as his head appeared at the window. He had been out to see how deep
+the water was.
+
+They were all alone in the old house by the river. Father was away, and
+the water was rising fast. What should they do? All depended on little
+Hal.
+
+"I'll take Annie first, she's so afraid. And you hold baby till I get
+the rest over."
+
+It was but a short distance to higher ground, but he had to step
+carefully. So it seemed a long time to the waiting mother before she saw
+him again.
+
+"Jamie this time, 'cause he's lame," Hal said when his wet face
+appeared. "Then he can see to the little ones."
+
+It was some trouble to get lame Jamie on Hal's back. But at last he too
+was safe beside little Annie. Then Jesse and Lida were carried by the
+same willing though tired arms.
+
+"Now, mother, let me take the baby, and you follow me." The little
+mother's face was pale, but she followed her brave boy, and soon they
+were all safe. Even then it was some trouble to guide the little party
+through the storm and darkness to the nearest neighbor. But Hal was
+brave to the end.
+

+AT THE SHORE.
+
+
+"EVERY one of us are here, Aunt Kate. Are you ready?"
+
+"Yes, Lizzie, all ready. Just as soon as the boat comes we will start.
+Where are the other girls?"
+
+"Out with Dan."
+
+"It's very kind of Azzie to amuse her little cousins so much. Agnes and
+Dan would be lonely here without her, I fear. And Amy had rather stay
+with Sister Azzie than any one else. That shows that Azzie is a good
+sister. I'm afraid my niece, Lizzie, is the least bit selfish. She
+doesn't like to help amuse her cousins very well."
+
+Lizzie pouted a little. She preferred to talk with Aunt Kate. But she
+wanted to please her aunt, so she resolved to follow her kind advice.
+
+They had a pleasant sail in the boat. And it was delightful eating lunch
+on the cliff which overlooked the bay. But best of all to Lizzie, was
+the story which Aunt Kate told while they sat on the grass after lunch.
+And Aunt Kate did not forget to say an encouraging word to Lizzie for
+doing her part so well through the day.

+"I'M in here, Ruby," said Chester to his little sister, when he heard
+her call his name. "Well, what now? You look like a little old woman."
+
+"Pomp and I are going to take a walk."
+
+"If you were only dressed in old clothes, and Pomp was poor instead of
+sleek and fat, you would do for a Mother Hubbard. I guess if your
+cupboard was almost bare, however, you'd share your last crust with
+Pomp; wouldn't you, sis?"
+
+"Of course, Chester, when Pomp saved my life when I was a baby."
+
+"Why, Ruby, you seem only a big baby to me now. Or else you are the real
+Mother Hubbard come to life again in a new style. Which is it--which
+shall I call you, my big baby or my little Mother Hubbard?"
+
+"Mother Hubbard, for I ain't a baby."
+
+"Mother Hubbard it shall be then. Remember this, Ruby, when I'm miles
+away. I hear the stage now. So give me a kiss before I go."
+
+Ruby gave her brother many kisses, and then stood and waved her
+handkerchief till he was out of sight. And then she sat down and cried a
+little and talked a good deal to her old friend Pomp.

+could get some new ones put it. Let's go and ask Mr. Thomas."
+
+"Yes, we will. We'll go right off now." So Dora and Dell took their
+dolls and went over to see Mr. Thomas. His paints and brushes we all out
+of doors when pleasant. When a rainy day came they were under cover. But
+they were not in a shop then. They were under a great boat.
+
+It was a pleasant day when Dora and Dell took their dolls to be mended.
+So they found Mr. Thomas sitting out of doors in his shirt sleeves. He
+was an old sailor. He liked to be where he could see the water all the
+time.
+
+Mr. Thomas liked children, especially little girls, so he was very
+willing to mend their dolls.
+
+"What color do you want the eyes?" asked Mr. Thomas, after fixing in
+some round beads.
+
+"Blue," answered Dell.
+
+"Mine blue, too," added Dora. "We always have everything just alike."
+
+"There, now they can see just as well as ever."
+
+"Thank you ever so much!" exclaimed both girls at once.

+thought her mamma the loveliest and best mamma in the world. Nothing was
+too good for her.
+
+"O Mamma!" she cried breathlessly, running up after a long absence,
+"there's a poor girl--outside the fence--over by the rustic chair. She
+looks as though she wanted--something. She won't speak--Oh! come and see
+here, mamma!"
+
+"Poor child! Perhaps she is hungry," said mamma, rising quickly.
+
+They found the child still looking wistfully through the fence. "Would
+you like something to eat?" asked mamma kindly.
+
+The bareheaded and barefooted little girl looked up into the sweet face
+a moment, then said timidly, "Please, lady, give me some flowers."
+
+"I'll give her mine," whispered Rose.
+
+With a hurried, "Thanks, lady," she took the flowers and ran swiftly
+away before another question could be asked.
+
+"I wish I knew where she lived," said Rose.
+
+"I will inquire. We may be able to help her."

+trees. Old Charlie likes apples and pears. So papa told Neddie he must
+watch, and if old Charlie got into the garden he must drive him out.

+small broth-ers had one. They did not have a fire: but their cook put up
+a much bet-ter lunch for them, and they took it to their fa-vor-ite
+spot, packed in a bas-ket on their don-key's back; and, while they ate
+their lunch, he nib-bled the soft grass. They had a good time, and were
+not sent to bed without sup-per, as Moll and Jane were, for mak-ing a
+fire when it was for-bid-den.

+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free

+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
