THE SANDMAN
LITTl.K MEt.LT wns walking up the
lilll and Griintltna win watching
her from her window.
Grandma often tut by the window
of her downstairs bedroom and
watched little Nelly.
Grandma's bedroom will the nli"el
room In the whole house, Ituok of
Grandma's great big old wooden bed
was a big space before the wall cnnie,
and In that tpnee little Molly kept
many of her toys,
She called It her street, and she
Iked there a good deal of the tlnu.
Number 4 AYorthltigtun Lane, she
called It Gramlma'i Inst name wns
Worthlnston, and so Molly though)
She should Call her street after Grand
ma. when Grandma really lived on the
afreet, too.
Molly used to walk ulong the space
back of the bed as though It were a
long, long distance to get to the eni
where her toys were.
That was not the only reason wh
Grandma's bedroom was the nicest if
all.
In the summer time Molly used to
sit In the big red rocking chair ant
Grandma would sll before the mirror
doing her beautiful, soft silvery hnlr
Oh. what lovely hair Grandma hud'

to very, very soft, and Grandma's skin
was so soft, too.
How Melly loved to foel It I
Sometimes on a cool day Mll
would sit with Grandma before the
little open fire, and In the wi.uet
time the room was so cheery with s
nice warm stove.
Now and again they made cocoa on
Grandma's stove, Thnt was nice.
And always In the winter Meih
would put Grandma's slippers lefie
the Stove so that they would be warm
for her when she went to bed.
Grandma was a most remnrki.hte
person. Of coirse Mother and Paddy
and the other grownups were nh-e
they were extremely nice, but there
was something about Grandma which
there was about no one else.
Melly did not quite know what It
was. There was something nhniil her
mile. Perhaps that wns It. There
was certainly something about Grand
ma's smile that made you know how
much she loved you all the time.

Grandma was really Interested,

thoitjOit many and many a time.
Now she was walking up the hill
and Grandma was watching her
Grandma was watching her at she
pulled up her sled. She remembered,
ntnl tmllcd at the thought of Hie lime
early In the summer when little Molly
had taken nn apple which wasn't quite
ripe ntnl had held It behind her bark
as she walked up the hill Just at
though no one could see what was he
bind her dear little back us she walked
up the hill.
Grandma smiled nt the thought.
She was thinking of the days when
she was little, and then her legs were
very short and how high and Sleep
that hill had seemed.
And she not only thought of the
days when she wns little she remem
liortil Just how she felt when she wns
little.
She could put herself In little Mel
ly's place now.
She could day dream hack and
make-believe she was a little girl once
more. And the make believe was very
ron I as all the make believes should
be!
That was the reason why Omnium
was Just a little bit dilTcrcnt from ev

She could feel the feelings of a III
