I am a large girl eight years old. We take HARPER'S YOUNG
PEOPLE--that is, Willie and Jessie and I--and we are very glad when
papa brings to us a new number. I had a little fawn which came from
British Columbia. It was three weeks old when papa bought it for
us, and such a time as we had in teaching the spotted little baby
deer to drink milk! It grew to know us, and became a darling pet
and playmate. We have sent it on a great ship to a little boy in
San Francisco. I cried to see Una go away; and she cried, so the
man said, for us. We live upon a hill, and can look out upon Puget
Sound, and see ships coming and going all the time. On a clear day
we can always see the snowy mountains.
