"There's one tater, two tater,

lazily tossing, the • vegetables into a
basket beside him,. and seating,
himself upon the ground to Meditates

The summer sim shone hot and
brightsupen the field—a dull, pro-
seic streteh, of ground, dry and
brown between_ the little tette _of
green that ianged „in long monetort-
ous rows, marked the. potato hills..
Dreatity bright and sunny it looked,
seve in ;this , porn er, where an old'
crab-apple .-tree spiead its griarlee
and crooked branches, and •threw ,a
pleasant shadow. Joe appreciated
it, and throwing off his old straw
- het, he began siting the wairn, soft
earth through his frlgers, down up:
on his bare, -brown. feet.
"When you gee 'ern all covered
up, you'll just have to dig 'inn ont
again, and then they. won't be
taters," moralized a little voice from
under a big calico sun -bonnet beside
him. The een-bonuet w.ts prettynear,

from the back, door of the yellow
farm house.
