Grandmother Gray S
Story Corner
A CYCLONE IN MOTHVlLLE

SISISNC TN WV 'SAG@.
1t was Grandmother Gray's birth
day, and you never cold guess what
one of her presents was, A vac
uum cleaner.
Jimmie G.'s father had given 1t
to her and she was so proud OF 1t
that she attached the cord right
straight off to see how it worked,
and Jimmie stood with his hands
behind him gazing in silent awe as
the shiny machine went back and
forth across the best carpet in
Grandmother Grays front parlor.
Forward and back. back and for
ward went the roaring and buzzing
cleaner, beneath the many feet OF
the gate leg table, back of the long
black hair cloth couch, and even
into the farthest corner under the
big old-fashioned square piano. But
just then Grandmother Gray drop
ped the machine and began clap
ping her hands in the air.
"Why Grandmother, what-sa mat
ter" cried Jimmie G. in surprise.
Htu lie saw. "A lIILlC WillIC LloIii
miller was fluttering up above his
grandmother's head. After circling
about several times, 1t settled on
the curtain just out of reach and
slowly raised and lowered it's wings
as though trying to regain Its
breath.
Grandmother Gray stood looking
at the little creature for several
moments Then she began laugh
ing softly to herself as she said,
well, you poor little Mrs. Miller,
! expect you did have a pretty Sc

wait
But at last the cleaning was done

Moths cried out, What is it?' i
don't know answered Mrs. Miller,
but never mind. Go on and eat
some more of the carpet, like nice
little Moths. These sweeping
storms only pass over the top of
our heads, and do no harm
But scarcely had she finished
words, when suddenly a terrible
black cloud came descending upon
them. The roar OF the storm was
deafening. Whole families were
swept up higher and higher into a
great mass of whirling dust. No
one escaped except little Mrs. Moth
Miller who fluttered up just in
time, and alone remained to tell of
the great tornado in Mothville."
and then, grandmother, what
did she do" begged Jimmie G., who
never wanted story to end.
Well" said Grandmother Gray,
''the last | saw of Mrs. Miller, she
was sitting on a curtain thinking
that it is no use for Moths to try
to live where folks have a vacuum
cleaner"

and Grandmother Gray settled back
in the STORY Chair" while jim
mic G. hunched his foot stool
up closer. and the story began.
"Once upon time there was a
little Mrs. Miller who was very
ambitious to see the world. She
had been born in a dark closet, and
her childhood had been spent in
such a quiet and uneventful way,
that as soon as she became Of age
she escaped from her gloomy home
and started out to seek her adven-
lures.
"Her whole name was Mrs. Moth
Miller and she was such an attrac-
tive member Of the family, that
she was invited to all the grand
balls, and was known to spend
whole days whirling and dancing at
shocking rate OF speed.
But as time went on, Mrs. Miller
tired of her gay life. She longed
for home in quiet restful spot,
where all her little Moths could be
healthy and safe from harm. She
spoke to many of her friends about
this, and finally one Of them told
her of an ideal little settlement
called Mothville, which was shelter
ed from the frequent wind storms
on sweeping days by an old square
piano, and although pepper and
other unpleasant spices were often
sprinkled over the village, the vel
vet carpet in which Mothville was
situated was so thick that they
simply buried themselves deeper
for little while; so that all to-
gether Mothville was a wonderful
spot for home.
Delighted at this news, Mrs. Mil
Ter at once sat out for the place.
Fortunately for her the screen door
had been left open by little boy
named Jimmie G., so she flew right
in and soon was making herself
quite to home in the populus vii
lage of Mothville. All the little
Moths were perfectly happy. The
carpet was so nice and fluffy that
every day they ate and ate to their
hearts content"
Did they eat our carpet" de-
manded Jimmie G.
Eyes they did," said Grandmoth-
er Gray, ''hut listen:
''One morning when all the Moth
family were getting ready for an
other good breakfast, they sudden

when the baby awakened, he was

language. So the white gull hur-
ried away and when he came back
he led with him a mother deer,
who gave the baby his breakfast.
Every day the mother deer de-
serted her babies for a time and
fed the little land fish. With her
soft warm tongue she washed the
baby every day and the gulls guard

How Kenneth laughed when he
heard the gulls crying Cree" He
understood gull language and he
loved the gulls and the mother

The baby was very frightened

none of the gulls were near But
when the baby cried "Eeee," they

they called him Saint Kenneth

MY VACATION TRIP

When school was out started on

Kenneth and the Sea Gulls

A great white sea gull was circl-
ing over the ocean near Wales. He
was looking for his dinner, and
when he thought he saw fish he
swooped down to grab it from the
water.
Cree he cried in gull language.
But when he drew nearer he saw
that it was no fish but a baby, pink
and rosy, floating on the ocean in
a wicker basket knowing that the
basket would sink if it were not
rescued, the gull flew back to find
his companions.
Cree" he cried, Il have found a
land fish. Help me rescue him"
So the gulls flew to where the baby
floated on the water. They took
hold of the handle of the wicker
basket with their long beaks and
carried the baby to their home on
the rocks.
But although they raised their
baby gulls on the hard rocks and
built their nests there, they knew
that little land fish needed softer
nests. So they tore the feathers
away from their downy breasts
and made a bed as soft as any
baby could want.
When they laid Kenneth there,
he laughed and went to sleep.
But the gulls had nothing with
