A BAG OF MARBLES,

An old man sat out under a tree in
front of the house and jingled a bag OF
marbles. 1t was summer. The grass
smiled up aroud him and the tree smiled
down above him. Before. him on the
slope Of the hill field Of ripe wheat
laughed to the sun and beyond the prsi-
ries quivered joyfully in the heat. The
old man smiled too. There was light
in his tired old eyes that had not shown
there for many years. And the wrinkles
about his mouth were fewer than yes.

the little door. 1nnere were Six squares
through which the bright glow OF the
fire shone. Ever 80 much nicer than
q lamp" she said and she would not
have the lamp lit. There are pictures
in the isin glass and the lamp shines
brighter than they are
Pictures, child? / don't zee any
pictures" said her mother, thinking to
herself what an odd child Mamie had
always been, always seeing things.'
Mamie stared intertly at the first
little square. At first it seemed only q
mass OF black and red. But the picture
must come che said half aloud. And it
did. Gradually the shadows seemed to
shade into one another. And in their
darkness an angel with hands appraised
scared, light shining all around her. 1t
was the only picture in this one. Mamie
tried but no other would come. The
second was "easy." A huge arm chair.
$50 comfortable" Mamie said. The
light was on it in front and out of it's
shadowy mist rose black imp, its arms
wavipg wildly. Mamie looked eagerly
to the next tiny window. For a moment
all seemed chaos. Then-"Its the
oldest of all" eaid she.
"Bless the child with her queer
fapcies," her mother said to herself.
A bed, enow white, on which was q
beautiful girl, fioated in the sea. Back
OF it rose an immense sail on which q
spider chung. His legs reached TO the
corner OF the sail and one struggled over
the form Of the girl.
''One might be piece of lightning,
though, thought Mamie.
The next picture was the first on the
lower row and was round.
A staid gentlemen of Waehiugton's
time, his coat deliberately trimmed with
brass buttons and his Snowy wig falling
over his shoulders. In front Of him was
q dancer, dsintily balanced on one foot.
Mamie dropped her head YEARLY
against the side of the chair and looked
at the picture again. "Why its different
sideways." she laughed. A dark, dark
forest and an immense tree stump over
which fell long bright ray Of light.
The next picture looked like pictures Of
the moon 'Or like Sammis's best
MARBLE
The last il tho best" said Mamie,
