BESSIE ATHERTON'S SACRIFICE.


am going TO tell you stogy about Bessie
Atherton's sacrifice. 1t was hot July morn
ing and Bessie was getting ready to 60 to pie
mic on the shore with lots of other girls. She
had laid her pink dress and collar on the bed
and was Just combing her hair when She heard
her mother at the door Bessie opened it and
her mother came in, the sweat pouring down
her face and her hair hanging in her neck.
''Ah Bessie" said she. sitting down in chair,
Il wish you would stay at home to-day and
help me. | ain cooking and there Is a whole
basket full of clothes to be ironed. The baby
is crying and Lille and Lucy are quarrelng,
and feel about sick" "Well mamma" said
Bessie, Il want to go to the picnic awfully );
but will stay at home and help YOU" For al
though Bessie was only II years old she helped
her mother lots around the house. ''Thanks,
thanks, Bessie,' said her mother, lovingly. al
should not have asked you this morning but
did not know what | should do without YOU
After her mother had gone out Bessie hung her
clothes up with sigh. and put on a clean, cool
calico dress and went down to the kitchen.
There everything was in confusion. Bessie
did not hardly know where to begin first. She
took the baby up and went into the cool sitting
room and in five minutes it was asleep. Then
she went into the kitchen and took the two
children and washed their faces and hands anC
combed their hair. and put on to each clean
frock and sent them into the garden to make
daisy chains. Then she took the basket of
clothes into the dining room and in two hours
they were all done. Then she helped her moth
er get dinner for five men and cleared away In
the afternoon. She hemmed towels all the at
ternoon, and when she went to bed at night.
although she felt very tired, she felt good
deal better for staying at home helping her
mother than she would have felt if she had
gone to the picnic and left her mother to do it
all. MILE.
