she was back at Granny's cave.

cried. They call you . witch. Granny
and me witch child. I hate them all.
But Granny and Sunshine had to go
to the village for the child Sunshine
had struck with the stone was badly
. hurt, and the people said Granny mus,
be shut up and sunshine put IN q home,
because Granny was witch and not q
desirable person to have the care Of a
child.
Sunshine clung to her Granny and
cried and begged to be allowed to sc

Guilty she was made to eat and study
she would not. 81 want to see Granny"
was all she would say.
At last one day the Judge, who was a
big man in the town. heard the story OF
Sunshine and her Granny. and was
asked what should be done to make SUM-
shine behave.
II will talk to the child" said the
Judge. who was q kind-hearted msn. 50
he went to the house where Sunshine
lived and tried to tell her she must
study and be a good girl.
II want my Granny. I want my Gran
n.y." was all the reply she would make,
| and the Judge was about to give UP IN
despair. when he noticed that Sunshine
had q peculiar mark on her wrist-a
black mole.
The judge looked at 1t hard and then
at surshine's eyes and hair. Yes" he
said to himself. she is like her. very
much like her. but, OF course, 1t Is only
q chance resemblance"
That day the Judge called on old
Granny. and there for the first time he
heard the story Of Sunshine and how
she came TO Granny's cave
At first the old witch would not talk.
but when the Judge promised to let her
see Sunshine II she would let him know
who she was she told her story.
And then Sunshine smiled again. for II
turned out that Sunshine was the
granddaughter Of the Judge, and that
Sunshine's mother was on the ship that
was wrecked years before.
sunshine and her mother were coming
to live with the judge. because Sum-
shines father had died and left them
alone.
Can I live with Granny" was the
first question Sunshine asked after the
fudge told her she was to leave the
home where she was then living.
Suppose we give Granny a nice home
and have some one care for her. then
you can go 70 see her every day." said
the Judge.
IT will live with Granny and come to
see you every day" replied Sunshine.
And so 1t had to be for a while, but
by and by Sunshine had to go away to
school. and when she returned she lived
NJ her grandfather's house, but there
was never day that Granny did not
see her and she had every comfort that
the generous judge could give.
Sunshine's real name was Charlotte,
she she was never known by any other
than Sunshine among her friends, and
the children who had called her names
grew to be ashamed and tried In every
way to show repentance by being kind

Granny did not live many years, for
she was an old woman when the Judge
gave her q home. and. while Sunshine
never let any one fiji the place In her
heart that Granny had held.
