Manaser, 01 " w The liegreud of Granny Groo. HERE dwelt, long, long ago, in a lana iar De yond the seas, a poor old woman called Granny Groo, whose only companion was a little grandson named Danny Groo. Danny and his aged grandmother had hard work of it to keep the wolf from the door. Their little home consisted of ten acres of prairie land, on which they toiled early and late to raise their small crops, and live acres of woodland, from which they gathered their fuel when it was cold. The little possession had been left to them by Danny's father and mother, who had died while Danny was a baby. On the death of Danny's mother, who had gypsy blood in her veins, there was found hidden away in her breast a small locket attached to a to be looked after. Often on warm sum mer days, after the crops had all been garnered, Danny would take his flock of sheep up the mountain side, some two miles from his home, where they might nibble the fresh young herbage that grew there. Old Granny Groo remained at the house and churned the golden cream to get a bit of golden butter for their sup per, or spun 11 ax in the cool shadow of her loomroom. While they were very poor, they were busy and happy. Uut one day their peace was sadly threatened aye, even their very safety. It came about in this wiee: . While Danny was watching his sheep on the mountain side one fine autumn day, there came a band of mouutain bri gands down the slope and surrounded his flock, driving every sheep away into their own mountain stronghold. I i ii r MATHEMATICIAN TOMMY. That Tommy's quite a scholar, there's not a bit of doubt; Note the sum upon the blackboard; he can easily work it out! silver chain as tine as a thread of silk. About Ihe locket was wrapped a piece of paper, on which was written these words : u Do not open the locket until Danny is in his twentieth year. Then a gift will be found that will make him both rich and great if he use it as he is instructed to do. Only on this condi tion must he ever open this locket before his twentieth birthday : If severe illness or great danger threaten him. or his dear old grandmother, he may open it and make use of a part of its contents." So the years had gone by, and Danny, so small when he was told of the locket, soon forgot its existence. lie was an in dustrious little fellow, rising before the sun during the farming months and going to the fields to till. Old Granny helped, of course, doing all the "man's work," as she called the labor which was too heavy for Danny. Besides the garden and the whe it and barley fields there was a small flock of sheep and a mild-eyed milch cow With a heavy heart Danny ran down the mountain side to tell his grandmother the woeful news of their loss. When he arrived there he found the old woman sitting in the doorway weeping and la menting loudly and heart-brokenly, her well-patched apron over her face. Danny forgot the sheep and his own sorrow in the presence of his good old granny's grief, and hastening to her he threw his arms about her neck and asked what troubled her po deeply. It was the first time Danny had seen the poor old woman in tears since the death of his mother. "Oh, lad, lad! the mountain robbers have been here and taken all our grain and the cow." Danny's heart was heavy, very heavy, and he hesitated about telling Ids grand mother of the loss of the sheep. What would become of them now? Not a bit of food in the house, the granary empty, the cow gone and the flock of sheep driven A
