“Bctcher took orl mornin’ to tittyvate them there carrots,” offered Moses, edging up to Maria with conciliatory glances, and jostling St. Elmo who stood waiting to contribute his donation. The little fellow, whose nose was still “bluggy” from tripping over the saw-horse, dropped his lonely long scraggy carrot on the floor, and in stooping to pick it up struck his head against the handle of a hay-fork and emitted a howl that might have been heard by the heathen themselves in Africa. Betty comforted him with a gum-drop that had lain neglected in her pocket for several weeks, and the cries ceased. St. Elmo hung back, electing to stay with the hero who had rescued him from the dangers of the wood. “Sharpen these pencils, Moses, please, for the drawing lesson.” “Lady of the Lake?” she finished quickly in a question. “Do you know that, too? I love it.”.
