My darling wife, pray, tell to me
Why not In time lor yonr cup of tea?
And the lady told me pensively:

Sew on the work of the ten-inch square.
A bine silk bit for the upper side,
And a pink silk bit not quite so wide:
A bit of plash of an olive greco,
And a smallish-piece of velveteen;
A scarlet pleoe for the corner there
And a scrap of white and here???s yonr sqmaro.

My darling wife, pray, promise me
To be In time for onr cup of tea.
And the Isdy answered pensively:
Sew, sisters, sew, sew with care,
Put In yonr time on the ten-inch rqniwe.
Send by the post and go by the car,
And bore your friends both near and far;
Tne aule search, and search thachest.
For grandma???s dress and grandpa's vest.

Straight or slgtsg, round or rqnare.

Da, Bunch and Ont.???Da was a 12-yeat-old boy.
Bunch a round, ro*y-cheekad girl, and Ony a little
black ptg. Theyallltved at Flumbcreek-??????wayoff

i David and Blanche, but who had been given thew
easier names by Uttle Bunch herself before she

of Use relit eg preries, flve miles from any neigh

In all. almost anywhere. He ran about wherever
he liked all day. and rested beside the old mother
pig when night came. Hts real name was Boon y,
because he svss black all over while hts brothe-s
and sisters were block and while spotted. Ony
was always clean aad so smart and cunning that
sometimes he was allowed to ran about in the
kl chen, eat com from Buacb???s hand, and drink
the bntturmllk left from the churning. Bunchle
had no other pot, for she was a poor little glri;
so the made a pel of Ony, who followed her about

The children'! house was a very pleasant one. if
It was built otsods. There were three roomaoper.-

pl??t:-r??land with wooden floors. ???
1 here were a s???ove. In watch hay was burned In j ??<??' L_5?? V*
timet the led roof looked very queer, eU stuck
over with hoe handles aud rake bandies and otner
kinds of handles. A little tray from tho homo was
the sod cellar, a small room mode by digging a bole
In one of the Uttle IriUocki of the prairie and shap
ing It with soda Here themllk was setforcream,
the pork was salted down, and all the toed was
kept, except the yellow sqnashes, green melons,
and the ripe corn, which werestored in nlce.elesn
wooden sheds.
Then there was the shed thaiebrd with hay,
where the threeatrong farm horses were kept, the
sod alible for tbecows, the pend for the ducks and
the ary for tin nigs, though only tho old mother
pig stayed In the sty, her targe family liked better
to trot aooat six over the farm aud visit the other
animals. Ofcouree there were hens, too, but they
Uvtd anywhere.
Three times a week came the mall, brought by a
tall man ou horseback, who wore a soft? wide
brimmed hat aud always smiled pleasantly at IttUe
Bunch as she stood In the doorway watchtna him.
He would stay all night and go away the next
morning to VaUoess, the couuty seat. Although
they saw so few persons Da and Bunch were not
lonely. Da had plenty of woik to do. He milked
the cows, harnessed the horses and took care of
them, and helped his father about the farm. Bunch
aud her mamma stayed at home"'dld the work,???
the little girl not doing a great deal ex cept to wipe
tho dishes, set the table and feed the chickens and
ducks, because she was too little to do anything
harder. When her work was done she would ran
out ou the prairie end, wi'hOnyat her heels,
would chose the round tumble weeds and run in
the wild wind until her chicks were as red as
roses and her gown was covered .with the prickly
raud bora that grow in that tall prairie gross.
The farmer was very set In his ways. He had
just such a time for everything and then and only
them mutt It be done. The mother was too busy
all the tints to think when she would llko to do
this or that. There was always a next thing that
could not wait. Sho bad to worx very hard, and
often Bench would see ???.Pars in her eyes and won
der about it. Oaco the mother had lived ih Val*
loose, and her mother lived there now and she
had not seen hot for so longl That was why there
weic tears in the mother's eyes K-mollmes.
The bright summer had gone and the t&ll had
come. Tho prairie roses and sunflowers were deed
aud the fall gnus was yellow and dry. In the
night the horrison was lit up in many directions
by distant prairie flies aad the mother had warned
her husband several times that It was 41me to
make his fireguard's; that Is, to plow a wide path
all around his house and shed, so that If the fire
came It would be atopped by the plowed ground
as there would then be notbing more to bunt. Bnt
the fanner had set apart the 30;h of Ike month for
this job and It could not ke done sooner. The 29th
he had set apart for going te Valloosa to sell corn
and buy some tblDgs they needed at home, and
the mothor w'as going to spend a few hoars with
her dear mother and carry her some new butter
and a flne squash for a pie. Da was old enough to
leave now, Ue could tako care ol Bauch for a day
If sho was such a fly away.
So two of the strong horses wore harnessed into
the big wagon, the wagon wu filled with com and
away they drove, leaving the children to take cue
of cseh other and the animals. All wen t ou beau
tifully. Ds did his chores while Bauch rsa about
with Ony and kept out ol mlschltl wonderfully
well for a fly-away. Soon camo dinner time, and
the children 4ht down to eaf a nice cold dinner,
fixed beforehand by their mamma. They sat a
long flue eating and playing, for they had Invited
Ony to dinner, too, just for fan, and were much
delighted at the way he acted. They put him Into
a Chair and lied a bib under bis obtn???If pigs havo
chins???and then Da fed him with mush and milk
out of a spoon, while Bunch tried to hold his
hands ??? u she called them, to prevent him from
lushing right Into the big yellow bowl of milk and
gobbling it up all at once.
Suddenly Buoch looked np and cried, "O, Dat
-jet seel" and Da, turning quickly and looking
out tho winnow, saw scmetblog that made his ,
cheeks and lips turn pale. It w.u a prarie tiro not
10 miles away. Da ran to the door aad looked
eagerly to see If the Are was coming toward thorn.
Bunch fallowed him and o >7. left to himself,
plungtd, bib and all, Into tho trillx bawl! What
cared he for prairie flresl Yes, tho fire was coming
ihil way: tho wind was rising, as It always does
when a lire comes, and la a ferrmtauter the great
prairie all around them would bo la a blaze, for it
takes a Tory, very short ttxn for a prairie Are to
travel a great dtatanoe; even o.horse cannot run

O, why didn't papa plow sooner?" s??dl poor
Ds. But there was no time for rt grots or talking.
Something must be done and at onco.
Here, Bnccbto.you sit right down there, and
don't yousrir till I tell yon,??? said tho boy, in such
tone that the frightened little glri did not dare
dlrobey. Bbe sat down on the doorstep, and
Ony coming along Just then???with his black loco
and fore feet spotted now, Inst like the rest of his
mother's family, aad with the bib dangling be
tween bis feet and tripping him at every step???
Bunch threw htr arms around btm tight till be
iqucalod and struggled so that rho had to lot him
go, when he sat ('own beside bur and began to lick
themllk from hts IraL
In the meantime Da had ran as fut as he could
go to the hotse shed. He koew that the only thing
he csald do wu to get with Bunch on the horse,
and when tho Are came near to ride straight
through tho flames to tho burned ground beyond.
If bis fatborand mother had been at hone, they
might havo fought the fire back with wet brooms
aod tseks. But he could not do It alone. All he
could do was to save darling Bunt-hand perhaps
himielf. He found the horse all llsbt acd hurried
with him baex to the house. Then he fled Bunch
on tho Lorse'a back with a blanket and told her
cover it over her head and keep still. Then ho
sprang up behind her, clasped his arms around her
aud catchIqg tight hold ol the reins, drove straight
Into the roaring, leaping flames. Bravo boy u he
