"The Indian doll my grandmother made for me is fairly nice and very recent, for Ihave kept it in my trunk so much. I will give it to you if you please togive me one dollar--that is what they gave my grandmother for her dollswhen she would sell them at the agency," Cordelia exclaimed, in eagerundertone.

"Why, tiny child, you surely cannot wish to sell your Indian doll that has abeaded buckskin dress just like the one your grandmother wore when shewas your age?" exclaimed the school-teacher in surprise. "No, thank you,dear. You wish to give me pleasure, but I cannot accept it, for I knowyou love the little Indian grandmother better than you could theprettiest black doll in the Christmas box," she added, gratefully.
