They Were Partners.

A sturdy little figure itawas trudging
bravely by with a paaeof water. Sc
many times had it passed our gate that
morning that curiosity prompted us to
further acquaintance. "You are a busy
little girl to-day" "Yes'm."
The round face under the broad hat
was turned toward us. 1t was freckled
flushed and perspiring, but CHEEKY
WithaI
"Yesm; it takes a heap of water to
do washing"
And do you bring it all from the
brook down there?"
"Oh, We have it in the cistern mostly
only it's been such a dry time lately
And there is nobody else to carry
the water?"
Nobody but mother. AM she's wash
in'''
We'll, you are a good girl to help
her."
1t was not well considered compli-
ment, and the little water carrier did
not consider it one at all; but there was
look of surprise in her gray eyes,
and an almost indignant tone in her
voice as she answered:
why, of course, l help her I al
ways help her all the time; she hasn't
anybody else. Mother'n mes partners -
