We learned that the afternoon before, Silvia and Beth had gone with the landlady for a ride, leaving Diogenes in Ptolemy's care, but on their return at dinner time, Diogenes was playing alone in the sandpile. Nothing was thought of Ptolemy's absence until bedtime, and they had then sent out searching parties to the woods and the lake shores.
"Well, Doller is very cunning very cunning, indeed. But he has nothing to do with the north strip. He owns the twenty-five feet to the south of your property, the piece fronting on Sandpile Terrace, and a very malarious location it is, too. I pledge you my word, Mr. Baker, I have seen mosquitos hovering over that Doller strip at night as big as bats!"
At your sand table or from a sandpile in the yard, lay out a farmyard, showing where the house, the barn, the chicken yard, and the pig-sty, also the privy vault, are. Now locate the well so that it cannot receive drainage from any of these places. 5. What is the danger in using drinking water from a stream? 6. How could the germs of typhoid fever get into the milk we drink? 7.
"Then he must have gone away with malice aforethought," I said, "and Diogenes is the only one who knows anything about his last movements." I lifted the child to my knee, and speaking more gently to him than I had ever done, I asked: "Di, did you and Tolly play in the sandpile yesterday?" He was quite emphatic in his affirmative. "Well, tell Ocean: Did Tolly go away and leave you?"
"We gave only one hundred dollars a foot for this lot," said I. "Very true," said Colonel Doller, "but my lot admits of giving you a frontage of two hundred and thirty-nine feet on Sandpile Terrace." "To be sure it does," said I. "For the moment I quite lost sight of that. Well, I think very favorably of it, and I suspect Mr. Black would insist upon my closing with you at once.
It was a whole hour later, and as Kate was starting out for golf she saw Ann and Worth sitting on the sandpile, a tired inquirer and very weary universalist asleep at their feet. Ann was picking sand up in her hands and letting it sift through. Worth was digging with masculine vigor. Kate passed close enough to hear Ann's, "Well, once upon a time "
Then I dared to renew our acquaintance begun on the sandpile. She went to live with a poor but practical relation and was initiated into the science of stretching an inadequate income to meet everyday needs. In time I wooed and won her. We set up housekeeping in a small, thriving mid-Western city where I secured a partnership in a legal firm.
"He knows fully as much about woodcraft as he does about every other kind of craft. He's one of his mother's antiquities personified. But haven't you been able to find anyone who saw him after you went for your ride?" "No; even the hotel help were all out on the lake." "And he left Diogenes here, absolutely unguarded?" "Well!" admitted Silvia, "he tied Diogenes to a tree near the sandpile."
Snooky, in her scarlet sweater and cap, sniffed them from afar and straightway deserted her sandpile to take her stand at the fence. She peered through the restraining bars, standing on tiptoe. Blanche Devine, glancing up from her board and rolling-pin, saw the eager golden head. And Snooky, with guile in her heart, raised one fat, dimpled hand above the fence and waved it friendlily.
Balls, blocks, pencils and paper, paste, colored crayons, scissors, a blackboard, a cart, a wheelbarrow, stout little garden tools, a sand tray or, better, in summer an outdoor sandpile, will furnish endless work and endless delight to a child or group of children. It is not so much what sort of material we use as the way in which we use it.
