BESSIE'S
STORY
By ELLEN FRIzELL WYc0FF

(Copyright.)

The postman's whistle sounded
clear and sharp down the street. Miss
Brent's heart gave a quick throb, and
she saw her cheeks flush as she tied
her hat on before the little looking
glass.
Now the whistle was nearer. She
went to the door and waited. Suppose
she had won the prize! Again her
heart throbbed and her cheeks
flushed.
She held out her hand as the man
stopped before her. A low groan es-
capped her lips as he handed out a
thick package. She went inside and
laid it under some books on the hall
table.
Again she had failed. She waited
long enough to brush the hot tears
from her eyes, and then hurried out
of the house and down to the store
where her long, tiresome days were
dragged out.
The lamp was burning in the hall
when she came back. Snatching the
thick package from its hiding place
she went up to her room.
"A letter, Dolly?"
Miss Brent kissed the pale face that
turned SO gladly toward her.
Nothing of importance, Bess. How
have you been to-day?"
Pretty well. The sun has been SO
bright"
Miss Brent looked around the
cherries little room. Each year had
found her home poorer and poorer un-

left. She laid her hat on the bed be.

ance" she had called 1t, but how her
face had beamed over those neatly
written pages! How she had hoped
and prayed that good might come to
poor. patient Bess from that labor Of
love! and now here 1t was before her,
returned as utterly worthless.
Tears came, again, to Dolly's brown
eyes. but Bess must not see them. She
went about the room preparing the
evening meal.
Only one cup Of tea, Dolly" Bess
exclaimed when her chair had been
rolled up to the table.
Il must be taking care of my
nerves, Bess. My hand has trembled
twice today" Dolly said, bending her
face low as she took up the toast.
Bess stirred her tea in silence.
And no butter on your toast?" she
asked, a. Dolly. chatting gayly, ate
her dry bread.

leaned over and pointed TO q pimple
