ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
~ OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The Sand Man, Captain Penny

en- their sea-horses.
All around them everywhere the
electric fishes made the water as
brights as day.
If the Twins had not been so
worried about getting the lost
sleepy sand, they would have no.
ticed that under the sea there are
as beautiful gardens of sea-flow-
ers as there are on the earth. Flow
ers of every color were there.
But who has time to think of
anything when babies all over the
world are yawning their heads off
nearly long after moon-up, and no
Sand Man or a single grain OF
sleepy sand to put them to sleep.
BY and by they came to Davy
Jones' locker.
Davy Jones is the gentleman
who lives at the bottom of the sea.
He has built himself a fine big
palace out of wrecked ships, so he
will have a place to entertain lost
sailors who come there to visit.
He is so rich that his gold would
make even Captain Kidd look as
poor as little black Sambo.
Nick jumped off his sea-horse
and knocked at the front door.
But nobody came.
Then he knocked some more. But
still nobody came.

Pennywinkle. 81 was talking to
Davy Jones just before you came.

He jumped off his sea-horse and
the Sand Man and Nancy jumped
off their sea-horses, and they all
went right in, because the front
door happened to be unlocked.
There sat Davy Jones at his
supper, fast asleep. And his cook
was fast asleep, and his butler was
fast asleep and his pet dog-fish and
catfish were sound asleep.
