"FOOTSTEPS OF THOUGHT"

LILY GRAY

Many years ago some children were making their way home through the gathering dusk after a happy day in the woods when the youngest began to lag behind. "Come along, Kitty," said the others, "we are nearly home now," and they showed her where the light from their warm kitchen shone out at the top of the hill.

"No," said the little one, "I cannot walk up that big hill. I shall have to stop here all night," and down she sat in tears. The bigger children were dismayed. They knew they could not carry their little sister up the steep hillside.

Then one of them had an idea. Gently she lifted the little girl up and took her by the hand. "Look, Kitty," she said, "just keep on putting one foot in front of the other, like this." Hand in hand they went forward, one step at a time, until they were at the open door, with Mother smiling at them.
