NELLIE A. FAIRBANKS Molly's erandmothcr nlcturnd n tlnrlt. uncertain future for Mollv. for. tho1 old lady shaking her head, exclaimed, ".'o Rood ever comes of girls who con tinually uhlstlo and chew gum." Hut orc than that, the horrified oldladj ihrcn- up her hands a few dajs Inter when she heard Mollv confide to n little neighbor that "I kin lick any kid in his town," nnd by way of emphasis started to climb to the roof of the shaky old barn. Tho grandmother closed the window with n xllllddpr. rlirn one rlnwn In -nn. der for the hundredth time where Molly cot hor peculiar characteristics. Her son, Molly's fnthcr, died when Molly was one .icar old, ami oh the daughter-In- an had nlwavs been cold nnd distant to her mother-in-law they boon drifted apart Kor years the old lady heard notlilnK from the dntigbter-ln-luw or bM Then when Molly was thirteen tier mother died and Home friend, know ing the grandmother's nddrcas, Font her word that the little girl was all nlono in tho world. She lost no timo in send ing money for clothes and carfare to nave the child sent to her. and with the Ph'tiiro in liPr nilnd of th'o golden nairrd Imby she had not seen for twelve ears she started for the station nnd was almost taken off her feet when nn overgrown girl with red pigtails and a 'tub noc iim-rcd with freckles timidly approached her. saying, "Arc jou Orondmotlicr Curtis?" let, she was Grandma Curtis, hut for Mine time tr, was speechless nnd colild not ndmit It. Then ahe closed her eiw to tho frightful girl nnd pictiired in iter place tho son alio had worshiped nnd who was tho father of this child, Thru tamo days of nsony for the little fcld lady, for .sho never knew what Molly was going to do next, 1'crlinpa tho most unpardonable net the child committed was to sneak the minister's hnntlkerchlef out of 1iIbx pocket and carefully wrap up a small toad, then slyly slip the handkerchief back. Tho minister disappeared soon after, and so did a great part of the old lady's peace of mlml. Hut neither his disappearance nor tin loss of grandma's pcacp of mind had any effect on Molly; she still whistled, climbed trees and chewed gum faster than ever. Every day lic seemed to enjoy her surroundings a littlo more. Everything In the Curtis household teemed to bo going tho wrong way since Molly came. Even the old cat, which had peacefully slept under thb kitchen stove for eight winters, dlsap' penred after being shorn of bis wnisKcrs, A feeling of desnalr was fast stealing over -flrnndma Curtis, and tho tried hard to make herself believe she was not beginning to hate this strange, wild grandchild. Molly was sent to tho postoffico for (ho mnit ono evening, nnd when the clerk handed her a small blue envelope addressed to Mrs. Curtis sho at once recognized tho childish scrawl as that of her littlo playmate back homo. A look of fca crept into the big bluo eyes, Molly's only pretty feature, and, clutch ing tho cnvolopo tightly, she started for homo. When she was out of sight of tho postofflco bhc hastily ripped open the envelope and read the following: "Dear Grandma I have been wait lug to hear from you. l'lcase let me come to you; I am so lonely slnci mamma died. Even my little play mate that mamma took to our homo threo years ago went away, nnd no ono knows whers sho went. I,ct m6 come to )ou, grandma, and I will always take care of you. "lour loving grandchild, "MOLTA' OUttTIS." A horrible feeling took possession of Molly, such as she had experienced when sho was coming down with the measles and she thought of the other letter she had opened four weeks ago, nnd of the wild desire that had come over her when the money tumbled out that was to bring Molly Curtis to her grandmother. Starting to run she soon reached the Curtis home, but what a changed Molly. The white face showed up the brown freckles painfully nnd Grandma Curtis wns really nlarmed at the state of affairs. She hurried Molly nnd her miilty coiiBclenco into bed nnd giving her a hot drink she eat down by the bcdsldo nnd took the cold little bands Into hers. Yes, Molly was surely fSick. There were tears in her eyes and those tears softened Grandma Curtis' heart. Sho knew now that she loved her little girl nnd did not want her to bo sick. Drawing Molly close to her she stroked the soft, ted hair nnd called her "Dcnr little granddaughter." This was too much for Molly nnd btirylhg her head n Mrs. Curtis' arm sho confessed all; how tho real Molly's mother ,had taken her, to live with them threo years before and) how she had secretly opened tho letter Mrs, Curtis had written to Molly nnd last of nil hoV sho had prcsontcd herself to Mrs. Curtis as Molly when sho was really Mary Clark. All was silent for a minute, then Mary thought she heard a sob nnd look ing up through her tears discovered that Mrs, Curtis' eyes were wet also. 'Why, grandma - then she checked herself, she almost forgot that this really wasn't her grnndmothcr, , "Call mo grandma Just tho same, Mary, for I havo decided that two grandchildren will be lots better than fast one." Tho happy look that cAmo over Mary's face almost told Grandma Curtis that chewing gum nnd whistling was a tiling of the past nnd when tho real Molly arrived sho told her grandmother that she was a wonder for no one else had ever been nblo to tamo Mary.
