was blind palr 1iuit thing and could
not see whsrp SHE was scer-
As she rvasflssf gr1 she felt some
thing hard -Ah rsraaps this Is some
thing high. s10ught the Morning
Glory. SO she crswIed up the side quite
10 the top. But she was not high at all
mot much higher than the ground
Tor It was only n small stone that she
had found. So she sadly crept back
down the other side, aud she lay there
quite discouraged.
There was an old nan wbo used TO
take care Of Somebody's garden, aud
he saw this plant growing there and
cropping about for support, so he fas-
tered a string from q peg stuck into
the ground up to Somebody's window
sill. and then he quite forgot all
about II.
The next morning the Morning Glory
felt more cheerful, and she started
upon her search again. She had moi
FAR to 20 this time, because the kind
old man had fasteneds the peg very
near to whore she lay. So she reached
about with caution to avoid another
stone md tool; hold OF the string.
The poor. slghtlcss little thing did moi
know that the old man had put 1t there
for her. hut somehow she felt that Il
would lead her to where she wished Il
go up toward the beautiful blue Sky
and the great golden sun.
So she climbed along the string
slowly ut first. then faster each day al
she began to know the way. until, Xix,
Jacks bean stalk. she had reached tn
window sill.
Now. Somebody. the person VIII,
owned the garden. was ill-so III tina

aud the doctors feared that he nigh
never see again.
lie was very unhappy, and was often
oh, 50 very ross and the servant
quite feared him when he spoke t
them In q harsh and authoritatlv
voice.
lie had no relatives, and he live
quite alone In his great house, wit
many people to wait upon him an,
with ever so much money to buy thing
to make him happy. but the things tina
one buys do not always make on
happy. aud he was terribly wretche
In his big, dne house.
One morning he CROPPED mis- way I
the open window and put his hand on
upon the side of the frame. and be fel
a little. sharp nail. Now, II he ha
been gentle the nail would not hav
hurt him. for Il was a harmless littl
thing. hut he made u rough. impatien
movement. and 1t caught his finger an
bruised II u little.
This made Somebody very angry
and he said some very unpleasau
things about the person who dared t
pui Il nail outside his window. and h
felt about. very cautiously this time
TO lind the nail once more. that b
might tear Il out.
so he moved his hand slowly alon
upon the sill. and the Morning Glor
was reaching her little hand abOu
thrrp al the same time. and their tw
hands met.
Cnp I'D not look at all like a hand
bUt IL was Que just the same, and tn
little green hand grasped the grea
white one. and they seemed TO know
and understand each ether at once, 70
ihr little green hand said to the larg
slltp one very tenderly: "Oh, so 20
gr,. blind too. I am so sorry!'
The great hand ala not try to dud tn

twO great drops fell upon the leaves
