SANDMAN STORY.
BY Mrs. F. A. Walker.
Copyright 1915. by Mcclure Newspaper
Syndicate New York City.
WHY sNowBIRps ARE WHITE.

Once upon time a dear old fairy
lived all by herself in tiny house made
OF moss, colored pebbles and shining
sand. The sides Of her cozy little room,
which was under a great stone by the
North Sea, were of crystal The glitter
ing pink sand made u pretty carpet,
while the moss and brilliant pebbles
were used to form furniture in odd shapes
In the greater part of the year the
sea was terribly cold. Huge iceberRss
floated by its rocky coast. Lights flashed
across the dark sky in the long nights,
and on the bleak shore there roamed the
seals and the Polar bears.
But the little old fairy did not object
at all to the climate-in fact, she liked
it, for the cold lands have their sprites
Just as well as the climes where the orange
trees and roses bloom. This old fairy
went every day to ride in n tiny sleigh
drawn by small deer with golden horns.
Her only companion was pretty
biackbird. Very strange its dark color
looked against the pale blue sky and the
vast fields of binding snow. Every
night it would go to s.eep in low pine
outside the old fairy's home.
One night as the hIackbird was nodding
it heard bear talking to its mate.
IF it were not for that blackhird
we could get to the cavern back of the
fairy's home" said the first bear 'T
would break IN anyway. only that bird
seems never 10 sleep, and always wakes
her up. | am afraid of her magic power
when she wakes. If can catch her asleep
could break right through and get into
that nice, big, warm cave
II do not see how that bird stops you. "
replied the second bear you surely
arc not afraid of small thug like that .
