No answer. But do you think, Jessie
don't hear9 Oh, yet she did, for she was
in the spare room all the time mamma
was calling. But she kept very quiet
there in the middle of the big bed.
"Ill make believe I'm lost" she said
to herself. my mamma wouldn't let
me go to the party because I had cold
and esneezed q little, and she always, says
she knows best; so I'll Just show her 1
can take care 'ofmyself all alone, and I'll
livs here to-day and tomorrow, and do
just as I want in every single thing"
While mamma said:
My baby must be down in the kitchen,
l guess" and she went on with her sew
Jessie had her two favorite dolls with
her, pussy cat and all the playthings
she thought necessary to bring to make
up for having no mamma.
Well, things went along quite COM
fortably for little while. The dollies
had ride; in the cart twice around the
room, and then Jessie put them all to
sleep under the table. Now, this table
had a lot of corners toit, and, when Jes-
sic tried to get up, bang went her her
head, and the first thing she said was
" Mamma" while her little nose began to
Jingle just as yours does when you want
to cry. ~
No mamma to kiss the place and make
it we'll No mamma to say. "I'm so
sorry puss!'' o dear, O dear! no mamma
at all to say anything!
81 wonder how soon it will be to-mor-
row." she said to her pussy cat. But
pussy was sound asleep in the sunlight,
and didn't answer. Then she made be-
lieve she was her own mamma, and said i:
''Jessie, you must not sit on the bed,
dear, because you'll rumple the nice bed
clothes;" and then she would say, in lit
tie different tone, you know: Yes, will,
too" and go sndNjump arightssonS@the
smooth pillows.
But, somehow, it was not very good fun
this doing as she wanted to, and having
no mamma, and Jessie went to the win
dow to see if the sun was anywhere near
Mr.. Jackson's barn. When the sun went
over Mr.. Jackson's barn, Jessie always
came up stairs with mamma and went to
bed. Now, the sun was away up straight
in the sky. .......
ut must be time for supper, anyway"
said Jessie, and SO she ate the piece of
cracker she found in her pocket, and
looked around for something else to do.
She woke up her dolls and took them
riding again, and played with pussy,
and tried to think she was having a
splendid time, - 7' o'g. u" -
II wonder if I couldn't go down stairs
and just take little peep at my man.
ma" she said. 9Th look through the
crack of the door, and then come back
again." So she crept softly down stairs
to the sitting-room and walked on tip
toe to the door. There sat mamma. rock
ing away by the window, mending one
Of Jessie's aprons which she had torn
that very morning going through the
hedge after buttercups. just then man.
ma looked up at the clock. .,,....:,
+ II wonder where my baby can be-"
And what do you think! Jessie gave
one spring and jump, and was right in
mammals arms! She couldn't get along
without mamma, after all, you see, not
even for one little hour, and she never
wanted to try again, even if mamma did
say mo" E:rch0nge.

Maudie answered not word, but her

"Therc, Maudie, didn't mean that. I
