GRANDMOTHER
KJO LITTLE boy that ever lived
' loved his grarul mother better
than James loved his Grandmother
StimaoD.
Old Sarah was such a pretty daln
ty old lady that no one could help
loving her. Sarah, her daughter, had
much of the Governor's dignity, but
she never could comparo to her
mother Id looks.
The older Sarah's cheeks were as
soft and kindly as her voice, and her
eyes, even when she was close to
Beventy, remained as clearly blue as
the first violets James used to gatb
er for her each April on the river
banks below the Mansion. Never In
all his life did James hear ber speak
to blm hastily or harshly or to any
one else for that matter and some
bow she always understood him a
thousand times better than anyone
llse did.
The others loved him Just as truly.

borned and no common trash like
no Meyerses. Indeed, his mama and
papa had been so very high-toned
that the Lord God on High had Him
self sent for them to come and live
with Him. close to His golden
throne.
"Are they sitting on golden
chairs?" James asked.
"Setting on golden chairs and

and velvet pillows and eating era
