Excerpt: ... his eyes again wandering over the titles of the books. "Strawberries," his prospective partner responded, at once. "Strawberries! Expect to make a living off those?" "Strawberries!"-This was Sally, in a tone of delight. "Lovely! I'll help pick. Can we have them next June? Oughtn't we to have sowed them last fall?" A roar from the young man on the couch, and an irrepressible broad smile on the face of the one by the table, made Sally colour with chagrin. "I suppose I've said something awful?" she queried.

Then it'll need a lot of fertilizing after that. We have to get rid of the grubs in the old sod-" "Grubs!" Max sat upright with a jerk. "There you are, at the first drop of the hat.

But Jarvis only laughed good-humouredly. "That's part of the game," said he. "Meanwhile, there are some quick crops we ought to be able to market the first year.
