fields and the pasture. The woods we drove through coming from town
belong to us too."

"The house faces east, doesn't it?" said Uncle Robert. "That would make
the woods north. Where are all these other fields?"

"Back of the barn and the other side of the orchard," said Donald.

"Can't some one show me on paper how it is?" asked Uncle Robert. "I
don't mean make a picture, but just a plan of it."

"Well, I can try," said Frank. "I know just how it is really, but I
don't know that I can get it right."

Frank found paper and pencil and set to work, while the rest gathered
eagerly around and looked on.

"This is the river," he said. "There's a big curve in it along our farm.
The road runs along the top of the slope, and this is where the house
is."

"What lies between the house and the river?" asked Uncle Robert.

"The big cornfield," said Frank. "That's where we are going to plant
to-morrow if it is a pleasant day. And right here, in the corner by the
woods, is the spring."

"The water comes right out of the ground," said Susie; "and it is as
cold as ice."
