THE LITTLE GRAIN OF SAND.
(By Virginia Vale.)
Once upon a time there was a
grain of Hand that lived with lots
of others on n beautiful beach. It
ought to hav, been very happy,
but instead of that it was very
unhappy and made all of the rest
discontented.
"Why don't you try and be
cheerful'/" usked an old grain of
sand. "You have everything you
want and sec lots of people.” I
want to see the world and other
things besldi this old beach," re
plied the little grain.
One day the wind blew very
hard and it picked up the little
gra'.i of sand and started off with
it “Good bye. irlends. I am going
Into the world. I shall see and do
great things. Good bye." And off
It Hew right Into the eye. of a
man who was passing.
He was running for a train and
as he tan lie tried to roll out the
sand, but the sand had made up
its mind to stay right there If it
could and so gel away. The man
and the grain of sand got on the
train and rode and rode for a long
lime At last the man wiped his
eye with his handkerchief and the
grain of sand was wiped out into
It
There It rtald until the man got
home and ihen It was thrown into
a hot, dark place with a lot of
other things Oh, how it wished It
was hack on the nice, cool beach
with Ihe rest. At last it was tak
en away by a big man and car
ried a long way off and thrown
into u corner. VVliat was going to
happen now?
All at once it was shaken out
Into some water and as it looked
in und It saw there some strange
no ii. w ith queer-looking clothes on
and very long lialr done In braids.
Where was he and what would
happen? Another man came with
aonie brown-looking tilings In libs
hands. He put them beside him
ami then went and got a pretty
bowl. In tills he put some stones
and some sand then the brown
things that were beside him.
II was coming toward the sand
grain, and, yes, lie was taking up
Ids dish of water and pouring it
Into the Imwl of atones and Hand
and in went the grain and slipped
down among a lot of his friends,
of them knew him and called
out- "How do you do? Did you
hav t . a pleasant trip."'
He asked If they knew where
he was und they said: "Yes. we
arc going to stay here a little
while and so will you." The bowl
was act In the sun in a pleasant
window where they saw the little
children going hack und forth from
school The children often stopped
to look at the howl and one day
the grain of sand heard one of the
children shout: "it's budded; It’s
budded" and then the rest crowded
close to the window to look.
Then the grain of hand knew ho
was helping to grow a pretty Chi
nese Idly and he began lo watch
too and see when it would grow
to be a flower. One day when the
grain of sand woke up In the
morning there was the Illy in
bloom and oh it whs so sweet.
When the children went by that
morning they were glHd to see the
beautiful flower and the little
grain of sand was very proud that
It had helped some and It was
quite willing to live there without
wishing to travel any more.

FRISKY’S LESSON.
Mother Tabby hud been brought up
bv her little mistress not to catch
birds. She was severely punished
when she was a kitten every time she
was seen to chase a bird, and'she was
bringing up her one kitten Frisky in
the same way.
"A kitten that has a nice home and
all the milk and cream he can drink
should be ashamed to be caught even
looking at a bird,” she told Frisky one
day, after he was caught chasing a
sparrow.
"T see the kittens in tlie next yard
chasing them, and they catch them,
too,” ,me-ow-ed Frisky through his
tears for mother Tabby had adminis
tered n boxing on Frisky's ears, by
way of impressing it upon his mind,
.lust how naughty he had been.
"The example of these poor half
starved kittens in the next yard is
not for you to follow,” replied mother
Tabby. "You are a very different kit
ten, or. at least, I hope you are. You
live in it different home and your bed
is soft. Don't let me catch you play
with kittens that have to catch birds."
And off b# went.
But all this talk and warning did not
cure Frisky of the longing to catch a
bird and one day. when he was sure
his mother was sleeping soundly be
hind the stove In the kitchen, he stole
out of the house and into the yard.
Frisky selected a place under a little
bush, where he could plainly see the
birds, and watched his chance.
"There Is that bad kitten Frisky,”
said a fat robin redbreast to her mate.
"He is hiding under that bush to catch
one of us. and I heard his mother tell
him lie was not even to chase us He
should he taught a lesson, and if I can
get the other robhlns to help me I be
lieve I can teach him a lesson he will
not soon forget."
"I will do anything you say, my
dear." answered her husband; "but 1
hope you will lie careful, for no matter
how much Frisky's mother may punish
him after our herfds are off, it will not
replace them."
"You trust me to take care of our
heads." answered hts wife; "Just you
fly over to the neighboring trees and
tell the robins to coin* here Hurry,
now."
Off flew robin and In a few minutes
he returned, followed by a flock of
robins.
"Three or four of us must fly down
where Frisky cun see us," said Mrs
Robin: "of course, being very careful
not to get dose to him. The rest must
watch for the other cats and warn the
ones on the ground of danger, t will
go down on the ground now Who will
go with me?"
"One from a family is enough,” she
said, as her husband volunteered: "you
stay by the nest, 1 want to get that
FrUkv kitten up In this tree, so don't
you all fly away when you eee him
touting, but just keep out of his reaclu"
l’Ylaky saw the roblna when tbev
lighted on the ground and he crept
very carefully from under the bush.
INDOOR SPORTS 4 * By Tad
Mrs. Robin had her eye on him
while she chatted to the others, and as
Frisky-, of course, did not understand a
word she was saying, he felt sure the
birds did not notice him in the least.
By and by the robins flew into the
lower limbs of the tree and Frisky
(limbed up. lie was very near to
them; when they’ went a limb higher
Frisky followed and soon they had him
in the high branches without poor
Frisky knowing where he was.
"Now give him a picking," said Mrs.
Robin, and the first thing poor Frisky
knew a dozen robins flew at him try
ing to pick his eyes; he tried to use
his claws, but that was too dangerous,
for he would surely fall if he let go the
limb.
Frisky tried to get away, but the
robins kept close to him, and poor
Frisky got as far as the low’er limbs,
when he lost his hold and fell to the
ground amid the chattering and
screaming of the robins.
When he jumped up and started to

her. she just told him she had been

kept her so late. But this did not

Tom followed her, demanding an ex

"Why should I explain anything to
you. after you had slummed out of
the house earlier iu the evening, leav
ing me all alone?"
Tom acted as if he had not even
heard her and asked her again with
whom she had been out. Jennie final
ly told him she had accompanied the
two women with whom Tom had asked
her not to associate. But she didn't
say anything about meeting the
strange man
"Jennie. I've asked you before not
to go with those two women, and now
I Insist upon it. They are not the
kind of women that 1 want my wife

under the tree, and on the fence were
the kittens in the next yard.
"You come with me.” said his moth
er, while the kittens on the fence call
ed after him. "Fraidcat! Fraidcat! to
let the birds chase you out of the
tree!”
"He is going to iget punished,” said
Mrs. Robin, as they watched Frisky
walk away with his mother, “and I
guess our lesson will cure him of want
ing to catch birds again.”
"I wish those kittens on the fence
had a mother like Frisky’s,” said Mrs.
Robin. "We should have a very pleas
ant summer.”
“Yes, that is so,” answered Mr.
Robin, “ but kittens are like boys and
some are not taught. We will have to
keep out of that yard where the bad
kittens live."
