Most children tremble when they try to stand on the ice, and for that very reason are nearly sure to fall; but Susy did not tremble in the face of danger: she had a strong will of her own, and never expected to fail in anything she undertook. She had spent half of her short life out of doors, and almost considered it lost time when she was obliged to stay in the house for the rain. Mrs.
