Bisbee daily review., 1905-12-21

THAT'S THE THING I'VE DREAMED BOUT. and the icicles hung from the window ledge in Old Grimkee's window. Many of the toys had disappeared, but the Noah's ark was still there. Somehow people thought it ''too expensive" yet Old Grimkee felt that it was not. He staked great deal on that ark, and the animals were not common animals; they were made of the finest wood.
 All the children had seen it. Day by day they passed before his window, and the wonderful toy was wound up, and the eyes outside grew larger and larger. But none of the eyes haunted Old Grimkee as much as little Jinnie's.
 ''Bless mev' he suddenly thought. i've not seen her for two days. That's queer. I'll look her upT'
 In a dim little room, upon a couch whereon the faded coverlet was high drawn. lay Little Jimmie. The big eyes were the first thing Old Grimkee saw. They were more wistfuI than ever. Two little hands were stretched out in pleading.
 'I'm orful glad to see yer" said she. I've missed yer an the ark toog' Her -oice was quite thin as she said this.
 "Is that so?" Old Grimkee asked, n uspicion- of tears in his eyes.
 Course it's so! I've dreamed bout at night till I thought 1t was right y me. An I've seen the winder. Oh rsa beau tI-ful winder, Mir. Grimkeer

N TITLE JENNIE stood before Old
 Grimkee's window. The dark
 plates and bronzes, the somber AA stuffs and hangings, had disap- peared. Grimkee's window was in holiday attire, and Little Jimmie won dered why. Some one had spoken of a day far distant, a day of mirth and gladness, of good will and peace; that the joy bells would ring, the music in the churches would sound and that ev- cry one would smile and greet one an other as if great times had come.
 Little Jimmie bent forward and lean ed her elbows upon the narrow ledge that jutted out from the window. What feast she sawl A tall soldier, all red and gold, stood in one corner his musket at shoulder arms" deter imitation in his eye and in his rigid at

AN OLD MAN CAME OUT OF THE SHOP. titude. Little Jimmie started to say Good morning" but she didn't quite like his manner
 Below him, seated on a dairy stool, was milkmaid with a churn, and the wonderful dasher kept going up and down at regular intervals, and the milkmaid's head kept bobbing and bob ping till the white linen bows on her cap Tapped like windnills.
 A shepherd boy stood next to the milkmaid, and in his mouth was a long pipe or musical instrument From time to time a loud note rang out What queer toys! Little Jimmie almost believed that they were not toys, for the faces looked so real, and they moved and bobbed like real live peo- pie. But Grimkee always had queer things in his window, different from any other shopkeeper in Broad street.
 There stood a clock with a cuckoo that flew in and out and chirruped it's note at certain intervals. And the wax doll in the corner, with queens crown on her head and a crimson velvet robe, That was the most real doll Little Jin- nie had ever seen.
 While she stood there, her small, thin hands and arms on the ledge, her wist- ful eyes peering within, an old man came out from the side of the shop and thrust his head into the window. It was Old Grimkee, and he wore a fus- tian jacket, very snug and tight, and a queer little skullcap on his head. He looked about as if in quest of some thing, and his round little eyes squint- ed here and there as If everything was long way of.
 Little Jimmie did not move, and if Old Grimkee saw her he was kind enough not to object, for be never once looked toward her, but kept sGuinting and moving until he saw a long, mar row house, painted green, with a small peak, which stood in the center of his window.
 "Ahr' he cried, and from outside Jimmie heard his grunt of satisfaction. He moved toward the green house. In bis hand he held a key, and, after fun bling and feeling about the side of the structure, he turned it about. Then he waited for something, Jimmie didn't know what, but she stared, fascinated by the old mans movements and wait ing, just as much as he waited, for the revelation that she felt sure was to come.
 The door of the house opened. A pair of elephants walked out, then couple of bears and two spirited look ing horses. After that trooped all the animals that Little Jimmie had ever seen in her picture book, the old, thumb cared one that the mission teacher had given her. Round and round they walked, and larger and larger grew Little Jinnie's eyes.
 Old Grimkee looked up. He was proud of his window, for he had taken great pains to make it attractive. Not gnother man in Broad street knew the sliIdren's tastes so well. All about the ilIelves of his little shop stood Santa Clauses, railroad cars, tin soldiers and Enall guns and dolls that the little ones liked Old Grimkee had been in the business for years, and he expected great profits this Christmas time.
 Suddenly he spied Little Jimmie. He did not know whether she was admir- ing him or his window, for her eyes kept shifting from the long green toys to him, back again, and so on. A gen. lal smile overspread the face of Old Grimkee. The little child outside vas

certainly carried away with what she saw. Old Grimkee looked closer. How thin and pale she was, and quite a little tot to be alone!
 The old man kept smiling and smil- ing, as if he knew her. and Little Jin- nie advanced toward the door. Old Grimkee had left his window and stood behind the counter.
 ''Well, little girl. what can I do for your" he asked, bending over the counter toward the wee figure that looked appealingly upward.
 If you would tell'- She paused.
 'Yes," said Old Grimkee.
 What that thing is-that house in your window. Are the animals dIiveP
 "That-that green house?' asked Old Grimkee, leaning forward to take peep at the window.
 "Yes, sir" answered Little Jimmie.
 "Why, you don't mean to tell me that you never saw Noahs ark, child?'
 Little Jimmie looked as ignorant as an infant
 "No? Why, then, you've never heard the story of the flood and Noah and the ark resting on Ararat? Dear me, dear me" Old Grimkee actually looked worried over the turn of affairs. He thought everybody knew that.
 Just then some customers came in, and Old Grimkee put on businesslike air.
 The child stole noiselessly out. Old Grimkee did not hear her, for the ladies were asking him for humming tops, and he was not quite sure whether he had them. He turned several things over as he looked and opened the wrong boxes and packages. Old Grim kee's eyes were failing him a bit. And as he looked a pair of wistful eyes, blue and heavily dashed, haunted him. While looking he was wondering where be had seen them.
 "Bless mer' he cried suddenly. That child'sr'
 The customers looked queerly at him, but he had found their toys, and as they examined them and approved them they did not pause to mark the puzzled glances or the shopkeeper 
 Little Jimmie was unhappy. In her small. meager home she felt the need of something. If she had been older she might have known.
 Land O love- the mother cried, ''the choild's a-worritin' over sumthin'! She's thet thin an pale as ter be CT shad- der" The poor woman paused in her daily task of sewing and looked un- easily at the small thin one that played beside her.
 Every morning the child had strayed out on the next block. The mother had watched her and felt no uneasiness Whenever she looked in that direction she saw Little Jimmie standing against a window, looking in with all her eyes.
 Bless mer' exclaimed the mother Whats it now?'
 And Old Grimkee had seen and heard for Little Jimmie came in every day for g moment, and between times. when nobody was buying. Old Grimkee took her on his knee and told her the won deTful story of the flood. And ques- tions had been asked and the Christ mas time commented on, and Little Jinnie's eyes were wonderstruck.
 ''Where do you live?" he asked. Old Grimkee had no children of his own. His son had died year before.
