So the ponies were turned into the shady road that led down to the shore. where a strange formation of rocks was called the Giant's Cradle. The wind was blowing freshly. and a million little waves danced in the afternoon sunshine. White sails fleck- ed the blue waters of the sound. and did not know who 1 was. | saw you the last time | was here. [I've been painting along shore today and took a nap in the Giant’s cradle. May | notl walk beside your carriage?” Polly gave ready consent, and to the . delight of the twins Mr. Glenmore tucked his easel and color box inside the cart with Polly and rode the chil- dren home on bhis massive shoulders. They parted at the front door, and Polly took her little charges up to the nursery with a queer feeling of loneli- ness that was worse than her former state of homesickness. This loneliness the snowy beaches were the whiter be- | cause of the dark background of wind blown cedars, “Smells good!" sniffed Cherry, ele- vating her saucy little nose. “Like the sea. Come, Cherry, let's race up to the cradle.” Polly tied the ponies to a tree trunk and followed slowly in the wake of the two children. who had started to mount tbe rocky pile. “Coming up. Miss Northam?" shout- ed Alex from a safe perch, “Yes, dears; wait for me.” But the twins were impatient, and. when Polly reached the top she found them staring open mouthed down into the deep depression of the cradle. Polly sat down and caught her breath, | *“The giant’s here!" whispered Cherry in an awestruck voice. “Fasts asleep!” added Alex, lurlng| down curiously. Polly smiled. The twins were imag: inative mites. “Please come, Miss Northam, dear: he’s waking up.” | Folly humored them, as usual. When she bent her flower like face, with its dark blue felt hat, a fitting frame for ber golden hair and blue eyes, she nearly fell into the cradle, for of a truth a veritable giant was asleep in the stone cradle! A great bronzed creature, with bronze brown hair growing about broad forehead, a handsome nose and a finely chiseled mouth. He was young and evidently an artist, for a painter's kit pillowed his head. He was dressed in rough gray clothes, and a gray felt hat was tossed to one corner of his couch, While they gazed he moved, yawned prodiglously. opened one hazel eye at them, blinked the other one and then | sat up and stared openly at the three charming faces gazing down at him from the rim of the cradle. “Hello. giant!” shouted Alex sud- denly, and with the words Polly sud- denly awoke to the situation and drew back with the reluctant Cherry. “Hello, imp!" called back the giant in a deep, rumbling bass. “I'm not afraid of you, giant!" chal lenged Alex. leaning so far over the cradle that be lost his balance and fell in, with a frightened squeal. The young man caught him quickly and presently appeared. bearing Alex in his strong arms. Alex had one arm around the stranger's neck., and his round cheek was préssed affectionately | against the brown hair of the giant. “Alex, cowme to me at once,” chided Polly primly as she stood at the base | | of the rocks and watched the careful descent of Alex and his rescuer. Cherry whimpered softly. “What Is it, dear?" asked Polly, “I want to ride with the giant,” she sobbed. “Come, fairy!" called the stranger. | And to Polly’s surprise Cherry wrench ed ber hand free and flew to be mounted upon the giant’s other arm. “Gr-r-r-r-r-fe-A.fo-fum! I'll eat you both up!” growled the young man playfully as he kissed the twins im- partially, , Polly untied the ponles and turned | the cart about. Sbe knew that Mrs. Glenmore would be much displeased ! when she found out that the children had been permitted this famfliarity with a stranger. Mrs. Glenmore was very particular, and, although this young man looked like a gentleman. certainly there was no need of his tak- ing advantage of the children’s inno- cent friendliness. It was all very un- conventional and unpleasant. . Polly frowned on the young man. and be gave her a startled glance in return Her frown melted and a little smile softened the sternness of her lovely lips. She had pined for adventure. Here it was in the shape of a hand- some young artist, surprised as bad been the sleeping beauty of the fairy tales. Why not enjoy its fleeting pleas- {ure? They would be jogging back ! through the lonely woods in a few minutes, and tbhere would be the dull nursery tea and the long, lonely even- upper balcony, where she might listen { to the distant strains of music from the rooms helow. Mrs. Glenmore was ' giving a dance that evening. “Come, children, we must go now. . It is growing late.”” urged Polly, with | her cheeks very pink under the admir- ing glance of the young man. ~No. no, no! protested Cherry and Alex In a breath. as he would bave put them down. “Carry us to the edge of the wood. giant.” “If 1 may.” he replied with a ques- tioning glance at Polly. “| think Mrs. Glenmore would pre- fer that—I am the governess, and Mrs. Glenmore wishes them to drive, if you please.” stammered Polly awkwardly. “Bat | love my old giant! whimper- ed Cherry, burying her angel counte- nance in the neck of the stranger. “And so do I echoed ber twin, tweaking the ear of the glant with at familiarity. “:!‘Ch\ldren" cried Po‘lyt feebly, yet at their enjoymen nm'll:‘l: 7 puzzled countenance of the | young man suddenly cleared. | “By jove!

POLLY FROWNED AT THE YOUNG MAN AND HE GAVE HER A STARTLED GLANCE IN RETURN. was something definite. It would have been delightful indeed to have listened to the pleasant voice of Dick Glenmore, to have heard of his many adventures by sea and land in countries of which she had only read. But now the adventure was ended. This was not the day of story books. The little governess had met the hero, but that was the end. She would not be invited to dinner. She would not see him agnin. Very llkely he would be dancing down there with a dozen different pretty girls while she sat up there in her solitary room, her little feet longing to trip over the waxed floor of the music room. Nursery tea was over, and the twins hed retired to bed, still chuckling over the amazement of their beloved Miss Northam when she discovered that the glant in the cradle was only their Un. cle Dick. Polly sat alone in her room when Mrs. Glenmore tapped lightly at the door. “In the dark, my dear?" asked that lady kindly. *“I want you to come down and dance with our young Dick Glen- more bas been reproaching us for al- lowing you to mope up here alone when there are young people in the house, but 1 am so thoughtless. We won't repeat the mistake. Put on a pretty frock and come down. Shall 1 send Lucille to do your hair?" “No, thank you." said Polly. And when she was alone she skipped joy- fully to ber wardrobe and took down a pretty pale blue frock that bad been waiting for such an occasion, “It's like a story book so far, but that's all,” smiled Polly to herself. “I'm not expecting to marry the rich Mr. Glenmore’s rich brother, but 1 would awfully like to dance with him. So that's all I sball ask of the fates tonight. One can't be greedy and ex- pect story book romances in real life.” But it happened this time that real life was very much like the most fas- cinating story book Polly bad ever read, for the adventure became & ro- mance, and the romance became a beautiful love story that reached its climax when Polly married the hero of the Glant’s cradle and became own aunt to the delighted twins. The most agreeable part of jt all was that the Glenmores were delighted with the | match and didn’t in the least object to Dick marrying the governess. Can’t Help It.

FLORIDA NATIONALVAULT GO BRIEF MOMENTS OF DREAMS Easy to Imagine Long Periods Elape- ing During Naps of 8hort Duration. Both Bismarck and Pepys found || that noise enhanced the value of a night's rest. Bismarck confided in his old age to an interviewer that he could “never sleep in Berlin at night when it s quiet but as soon as the nolses begins about four o'clock in the morn- ing I can sleep a little and get my rest for the day.” Pepys records in his diary on Sep tember 23, 1661, that he slept at Well- ing “and still remember it that in all | my life I never did pass a night with ¢ more epicurism of sleep; there h‘lnl, now and then a noise of people that: waked me, and then it was a very! >, rainy night, and then I was a little ‘ i, é weary, that what between waking and then sleeping again one after another, I never had so much content in all my lite.” The probability that we get snatches of sleep at odd moments when we suppose ourselves to have remalned continuously awake is supported by the phenomena of dreams. Mark Twain accounted for his own “disap- pearing visitor” by the beliet that he had unconsciously had a very short nap, and many have explained visions of ghosts as due to dreams during such short naps. For nothing is better established In connection with dreams than that an apparently very long one can occur during an almost infinitesimal time. Alfred Maury had a long, vivid dream of the reign of terror, including the trial of himself and his execution, and was able to show that it all happened during the moment of awakening by the fall of a rod from the bed canopy upon his Efi'ik He Saw.
