streets,
and over a covered bridge, where the horse went
TROT, TROT, TROT. Then they crossed a
railroad-track, and drove past a station, and
stopped at a store; and Uncle David went in and
bought a great box of sugar for Aunt Mattie,
and a little bag of candy to carry home to his
little boy Philly.

Then they rode up a steep hill, and came out
upon Westfield Plains. And then what beautiful
things they saw!--a man with a gun, a squirrel

so mamma said, "Kiss grandpa, my little boy,
and the dear little cousins, and then let's run
to bed with sleepy head."

In six seconds after Harry's head touched the
pillow, he was fast asleep.

The next morning he awoke fresh and bright;
and, after breakfast, Philly and Harry went out
into the road to play. They made little
sand-hills and houses of pebble-stones, and dug
wells in the sand, and had a real good time.

In the afternoon, mamma put the cloaks and
