Xarbl. rpJIKY mad pretty pU-ttir, did J yrnndinotlirr anrl little (irandinollirr tat in Iter low rocking rhklr, with hrr Jf!nr jnishril tark above hrr fotrhrscl, ami IwrVre hef alum) lot hclillnir otitstrets'hrd a bril liant altrlti of wool umiu her chubby Mtlr liuliila. "Hurry tip, ilrsndrna." aabl Dot, with dipM frown, "you're ao alow." lirntnltn tonk no hrrtl, apparently, but wrlit on with Die utuioM precision. Hlowly tbeyarn reeled over the chubby thumbs, slowly wnit ub the winding bout trmuUiiu'a bull. !)) ktiMn! t) rat upon one foot, then the other, like liHrn-yaril fowl, and Ifavr at lnUtmls n trrinrnduua sljfh m rvlifs-tire of In r w rnrinr.s. "Vim'a 'rrfkprrutiiiV' sh at lat broke ut; "n-ally and truly, dranduia, you'a old 'tw--rutin' hlem-lf." "What?" nrd Hie utartlrd old lady, who hnt Ix-rii turn Intent uin her wlndjiiK or perlmps lot In a revrrlr of other i!; "what la that you are lav ixg. Dot?" "I mid you 'Miprratln' old poke," rrplird lvl, firmly. "I is mint tirM to i!mf, and flute y on j(o on wtnd iu' J-' a if you wiia aslrs-p." "Well. I nrVer." ptspril th old lady. I pretrndrd to be intent Upon Ul work bt-fun- me. )rt could r.arce re frain from !niirhinif a!tn!. "Tlrrd, rh?" iirrird tfrsnrlma, with a twinkle in her rye; "melt, we wilt aooti be through, and you can lia dtrwn and ri-t." "No, I'm (T'llnjr out to jump rnji," liioautloiisly aaid Hut. "with Willie and lUwe. The) 're Jumping now, don't you hear 'rin, drandum?" "Ah, you are fni'g to reat your weary limb by Jumping rope," re pliiil grandma. "Well, o that you won't br entirely ussd up, suppose you ail on thin chair," pulling one beatda Dot IW sulkily complied, but aa she did au dropped htr hand In tVijnird wearl ne. "See," cried grandma,, "you are let ting strain! of the wool flip over your ftngrra. Hold up jour heun!, dear, and we will mum Im- Uirough," and on aent the old lady, placidly and slowly winding aa brforr. l)it for a u r looked the pictura of youthful rekignatinn, but soon her in-patirm-e rrturnrd. "Hurry up." ahe cried, vehemently. "You're niough to 'raaperala the pa tience of Job." and again I aw her k'yly drop a loop or two from her fin (rem, aa ahe muted restlessly upon Lha chair. Wrsnilma looked at her reprovingly, but haktenetl somewhat hrr move ment". There wae a pause presently in the winding. The old in''v brought her spwtaclis down from her fore hend, and preTd at the skein of wool. "There a snarl, ahe said, dear, dear, how did that come?" "It'a an awful hrd knot," cheerfully aald Mika Pot, after grandma had mad arverul attempt to dieetitjinglo the snarl. "I drae you had better get it all right, dranduia, and a'll wind tba ball 'noUier time." "Oh, no, Dot, we'll get it all right now," replied grandma, with a jerk. Snap went the strand. Several min utea were consumed in straightening the skein, and grandma carefuUy knot tad the broken thread together before reHiiiiiing her winding. The Bound of laughter and jump ing outaii'e the window came born In upon the stillness of the room. An other petulant movement from Dot. "1 la ao nervous, I can't hold atill," ahe tint exclaimed, impatiently tug ging at the wool. "Dear, dear, unother knot," cried grandma, peering ovrr her apectaclea at Dot. "Why, at thia rate, w will never get through." Hut ut lust it waa dona, and away k.uinipiTed Dot, every veatigc of ill humor banished from her pretty face. (irundmu'a glnnce met mine. "The wool Ik for her on tx klng," quietly mild ahe, an if In answer to Hornet hlng ahe rittd In my eya, "and I intend thrae knot uliftll teurh her lemon which mere words would fail to acooniplikli. Youthful rxperieiice, if rightly ImprPMed, mny n-i ve to guard the future from ktemer onra." The old lady'i favorite expression, "I know," played about her firmly cloned lipa, but the g'nve no utterance to them a with ImU in hand ahe ut gating upon the picture of the pnal picture whoae light and thadowa were reflected in her own dim ayea, in the flitting amll upon brow or lip. Wall, if grandma had been alow in 'winding the ball, it waa more than ahe n in Ifbhening it again. How fait her needle fle-wl Karly in the morn ing, late at night, went on the knitting. Dut'a eye watched the progreaa of the atockiuga, and her admiration waa un bounded over their hue. "lied atocklea, and a red hood, and red uilttlei! My, it 'pean Sunday won't ever cornel" "Crlmaon," corrected grandma; "not red." But it mattered little to Dot what the color waa named when b drew th bright atockinge upon ber rhubby leg and over them again a pair of ihlnlng new ahoee. "You will be proud of theae stock ing." lal'd grandma, on Saturday night, aa kh rounded the to with a bit of white wool, "becaune ymi helped me to wind the wool, you know. Dot," "V," aaaentrd the little one, with a proud air, "waan't 1 dnod, grandma?" "And you to tired, too," went on grandma, Ignoring her quettlon, "And to nrrvout," renponded Dot. "Yrt, and you called me a 'Miaperat In old poke, "gravely answered grand ma, "and Knapped the thread on pur pote to make in glv over th wind ing." Dot opened wld her eyre, "How did you know that ?" the quer led. "Now dim't tay a 'little bird' told you, drandma, Viux I'ae tired to deaf hearln' that Btory." "Never mind how I knew, Dot. The fact remain that there wereknottln niy fair ball of wool, and knots, you know, can never be straightened out, never!" Dot looked at ber grandma reflec tively. "Didn't you ever make knott in your drandma' wool?" he aked, soberly. "None but what I had to pay for," re plied the old lady, tuppreking a tmile. "Knot are troublesome things. Dot, at you may find out before you are many day t older." Off to Sunday school hlsd Dot the nest morning, resplendent In new at tire, (iraiidma smiled grimly w ben ahe returned with a perceptible limp In ber gsit. "Komefln Is burtln' my heel," she in formed us at dinner, reluctantly. "Your new thora. I suppose," Bug grsted her mot hrr. "you hail brst tske them off snd put on your old ones." Hut Dot demurred, and like her eld ers, sometimes, for vanity's sake, en dured th torture lb remainder of the day. (irandma aaid never a word. l)ed tlme came, and with a aigb of relief IXit drew off ber shoes. "It's in my stock!." ssid she, after au examination; "there's two dreai big knot in the heel." I "Knot?" echoed grandma. There was no stupidity about our bright Dot, and she understood all the meaning conveyed in graudma'a ton j and look at once. ; "Knots of impatience. Dot." I could not refrain from saying, "for which you hsre suffered all day long." j "And undutlfu!nri," added grand ma, "and covert untruthfulness." j Dot turned the color of ber stock ings. "You might bave smooved 'em out," she ssid, carefully examining ber blia I tered heel. "Out of the wool, perhapa." answered grandma, earneatly, "but not so eaaily the knots when formed in the skeiu of chsracler. Dot." Several days after grandma beck oned me to approach an open door. Within cou!d be heard the voices of Dot. Willie and Hose. An altercatlou wss evidently In progress concerning the destruction of a doll. In a rocking chair sat Dot with a pair of graudma'a spectsclrs upon her nose, (iravely she peered over them at the flushed face of Willie. "..o broke dolly's hesd ?" she ques tioned. "Rose!" answered he, promptly. "Dear, dear," exclaimed IKt. bending forward, "such a snarl as you are del tin the akein Into. Willie!" "What skein?" asked he, sulkily. "Did you or didn't you break dolly's bead?" she continued, without answer ing his question. "No, I didn't!" this very emphatic ally. '"Notherknot in the akein," aaid Dot, imitating grandma's tone and manner to perfection, " 'nother dreat big knot, my child, 'cause 'canse I saw you do It." An Imprrsaive silence, broken only by Willie'e sniffles. "Keep on tellin" stories, Willie." gravely went on the little monitor, "and you'll det all tangled up like like a akein of wool w hen you let your hands drop. Then conies knots, and knots enn never be ainooved out, never. They'll get knitted into your hide, my child, and div' you a heap of torment. I know!" and pushing the spectacles back upon her head, Dot sank into a gentle reverie, so much like her grand ms's that the smile died from our lips, and the dear old lady, as we tip-toed back to our room, said in trembling tones: "Heaven bless the child!"
