we will have prayers before eating; so that we may be able to start soon
after leaving the table."

"Judging by some slight sounds I have heard, I think they are all up and
will join us presently," said Violet.

"Yes, mamma, I do believe we are all in a great hurry to get to the Fair,"
remarked her little Elsie. "Oh, papa, is that it over there where that
arch is with all those pillars on each side of it?"

"And, oh, papa, what big ship is that?" cried Ned, catching sight of the
_Illinois_. "I like ships, and I want to go there. Can't I?"

"I intend to take you there one of these days," his father answered.

Just then the rest of the party came trooping up from the cabin. Morning

In another half hour they were all on shore enjoying a second view of the
lovely Peristyle and Court of Honor, through which they passed on their
way to the Ferris Wheel, the ride in which they found so delightful that
at the earnest solicitation of little Ned they retained their seats during
a second revolution. Then they left it and walked on to the Wooded Island.

"I want to take you to the Hunter's Cabin," said Harold. "See, yonder it

"What! that old log building?" exclaimed his sister Rose, catching sight
