Bessie Boss closed the cottage

low sewing-chair, covered her face

her heart would break.
Her little daughter, Birdie,

with a battered doll, and a tiny
basket of many-colored scraj ■ be

blue eyes.
She had heard all that had pass

The mother turned away and
went out into the whirliug anew,
blinded by rears.
Birdie watched her through the
window, a curious, deteimined
look hardening her rosy little face.
Then all at once she bundled the
battered doll ifito the same small
basket and jumped down from her
pearoh.
‘Want anything, Papa? she
questioned,putting her curly head
in at the door.
But papa was fast asleep. She
tip-toed in, drew the little stand
close to the bed, placed the water
on it within his reach, and then
dropped a light kiss on his pale
face.
‘You’ll do till Birdie gets back,'
she whispered as she glided out
again and caught up her scarlet
hood and cape.
It was the work of a moment to
get them on, then she took the
tiny white mittens from their nail
and tugged them ou her fat hands.
