BURIED SUNSHINE
BY SARAH e. TODD.

Outside, in the darkness, the winter
wind sent the snow and dead leaves fiy-
ing past the window. Inside, the coal
dire warmed the air and lighted the
room for our evening talk.
We children sat in comfortable
chairs around the fire, wondering what
our dear story-teller would have for us
to night, t,-our gray-haired uncle, who
strange countries. We-Harold, Elsie,
and Bess-watched him anxiously, try
ing to be patient. BY and by he be-
gan:
cages ago, before any children were
acre, and before Adam lived in Eden,
long before the great elephants and
birds and reptiles, which have left their
skeletons for us, were on the earth, my
story begins. No flowers bloomed, and
no fruit-trees grew. There were only
tall trees, like our pines, and great ferns.
Deep MOSES covered the swampy
ground, and everything grew very fast
in the hot, moist air"
"Wasn't there anything then like
What we can see now, uncle?"
