jjAt tins thought Peggy neiroa Billy by
Uin shoulder and shook him until his
leeth chattered,' hut. he just couldn't
brake, up. She tickled him and sho
Mapped him but he slept right on
in despair, Peggy tunica to run for
eln . Her hurry caused her to stumble
and down she foil sprawling, filling
nouth, eyes and cars with lino sand
"Ugh !" sho irasued. "How horrid I"
tubbing the sand from her eyes and
ars Bno struggled to her reet. "I muit
un fast, 'causo Ulllv Is sick." sho said
rtq herself, staggering nlong for several
Mieps.
Sj- But what wis the matter with nr

Vhy couldnit sho lift them from ino

& And what watt tho matter with her
yes? She couldn't k"ep them opon. Thq
jmos appeared as nravy as ner ioeu
.S. And what was tho matter with her
ttmouth? Sho tried to say again: "I
, :nust run fast," but Instead sho gave n
-pig yawn a yawn that swallowed up all
Aer words ,
K Then Peggy heard tho silvery volco
.galn: 'Tho Sleepy Sand I Hal Hal
Jtho Slocpy Sand has got Peggy, too.'
Things wero all In a Jumble. Peggy s
- fcraln was in a whirl. Tho words, "I
Jteiust run, run, run" were all tangled
ip with tho silvery voice's mocking
3augh: "Sleepy Sand! Sleepy SaniT."
SqPeggy felt herself dropping, dropping
Mropplng lown to tho 'ground, Mid
fdown, down to tho depths of Slumber
pand. "
fit' Had Peggy stayed awako sho would
wive seen an amazing sight. No sooner
;ad her eyes closed tight than up out
f tho ground swarmed dozena of striwpo
Sttlo creatures. Ono might have thojgnt
Shorn ants, but they were larger than
' .-ants. Ono might havo thought them
tlxetlcs, but they walked on two legs
?And didn't crawl like beetles
jc Thoy were strange little men. tccny
."lnv man. all drcsied In silver gray, all
'Worrying over their shoulders bags near
' 3y as big as themseles.
& From beneath a shrub darted a figure
(larger than tho rest, but still smaller
ithan a doll. It was a boy w 1th a merry,
roguish face a boy dressed In shining
tcloth of gold.
f? "To work, ye faithful gatherers of tho
ands of Sleep!" he cried In tho silvery
yrolco which had Btartlcd Peggy. "Hasten
Mond fill your bags with sand."
jt At this order, tho tecny-tlny creatures
ftiegan to (111 their sacks with the silvery
fand. This sounds llko an easy task.
but It must be remembered that these
?and gatherers wero so very small that
each grain of sand was to them as large

It was going to bo ono of those times

couldn't sit still. For that vfry after

Why
Brick is
Cheapest.
"What will it cost to
build?" was the question
when your grandfather
built his house.
"What will it cost to
maintain?" is the question
today. Modern business
goes to the root of the
matter.
Common brick is cheap
est, not merely at the
start, but because it costs
nothing to maintain after
ward. Brick will not rot,
or rust, or burn, or crack,
or warp, or shrink. Noth
ing hurts it. It requires
no protection, no painting,
no repairs. The brick
part of your house costs
you just nothing per year.
And today you see old
brick houses, after long
use, selling for twice as
much as when they wero
new.
