SHORT STORIES.
A packnge came weEt from Indiana
where Grandmother lived when she
was n little girl. The family were sur
prised that it should be addressed to
Grandmother herself. Who could it be
from? There was nobody in Indiana
that they knew except Grandmother's
s!6ter. It mut be from her.
But Grandmother was too nervous to
have them all go up to her room and
watch her while she opened tht box
So they waited impatiently at the foot
of the stairs and lot Ethel carry the
box up.
She opened the door eagerly ai.d
dumped her burden down in Grand
mother's lap.
"It's come, (or ou, something," she
urged breathlessly and brought thet
sciEsors while Grandmother's glasses
were adjusted tremulously.
Ethel's brisi little fingers snipped the
string and tDre away the papers. Then
she emptied out into Grandmother's
lap a heap of delicate petals and leaves,
Indiana wildflowere, packed tenderly in
soft moss. She put out her hand
eagerly over the flowers ind ftlt some
thing hot splash down on the top of her
thumb. She looked up in dismay.
"Why Grandma!
matter?" she wailed,
they're pretty? I do.'
What is the
'don't jou think
He sits sharpening his knife. He is a
oung man and in mo3t things he has a
good idea of his own immaturity. But
when it eomes to sharpening his knife
he lets his self-complacency get the list
ter of hiiu. He goes 60 far as to say
that nobody can sharpen a knife to suit
bis fastidious judgment.
He, has three grades of whetstone.
He picks up the first nonchalan tly. gives a
few careless strokes and picks up the
second. How he bends himself to the
task. He rul3 slowly and cautiously.
He lifts the knife to feel the ede. A
dreamv look comes into his eyes as if
entire absence of mind were necsssiry
to any scientific determination as to the
ine ness of a knife edgs. He gives a
long stroke and takes up the finest stone.
Now for the real artistic part of the
work. With infinite care he grinds off
an inlinitessimal imperfection. He stops
to wipe otl his forehead and the tips of
his fingers. He feols the smooth stone
with the end of his thumb. He smooths
out his trousers and places the stone
more firmly on hi3 knee. A slow stroke,
a short squint and a deep breath! Then
I know that his work is doue.
If there is such a thing as an ama
teur connoisseur in knife eJges. he is
one.
She is a cross girl. I never thought
so till today. I was going through ths
library where the clock hang6 and 6aw
her standing quite still looking up at it
I wondered why she should look so
earnestly at the clock. Then I remem
bered, it had been stopped jesterday.
The girl finally turned towards me. 1
had an idiotic impulse to be pleasant,
though I noticed that she seemed pre
occupied. I hesitited just a moment
and spoke in acarelcsssprightlyfashion:
"Is the clock still stoppeJ?"
Sh? looked at me in astupified way.
Then she said icil :
"I think not. I know of no reason
why it should b?."'
I believe she thought I had gone daft
I wish now that I had taken time to
explain all the reasons why I thought
the clock might have stopped.
