BESSIE'S BEAR.

Bessie was five years old. She was
quite big girl. SO papa and mamma
said. The neighbors thought her a little
tot" but papa and mamma shook their
heads and said: Bessie is getting to be
a big girl. So Bessie believed papa and
mamma and put on the airs of a big
girl accordingly.
One day mamma went down town to
do some shopping. She left Bessie play
ing In a great sand pile in the shade of
a fine backyard tree. AS Bessie was a
most obedient little girl. her mamma
could trust her alone in the yard, know
ing that she would not venture beyond
the gate If told not to do so. And as she
had so often gone shopping, telling Bes-
sic to remain in her playroom or in the
back yard playground during her alb
sence, she did not think it necessary to
repeat the instructions this morning. So
she had kissed the little girl goodbye
and said she'd be home before luncheon.
Then she had gone out at the front gate.
and Bessie had the yard all to herself.
OF course, cook was in the kitchen; but
cook was the same as nobody, for she
never bothered herself to look after Bes-
sic. Indeed Bessie was such a reliable
little miss that she never needed looking
after when mamma and papa were both
away. and when they were at home they
looked after her in the most loving way.
But very soon after mamma had de-
parted on her shop piping expedition lit

So the weeks had gone by and summer

deeply the compliment paid to his own

Ohm CLIENT was a thoroughgoing
boy of fourteen years of age. When
he set his mind to do a thing he
was Independent of others. and
almost always he accomplished his
task without calling upon another for aid
Of any kind.
Early In the spring he had longed for
riding pony. A friend of his, Paul Thomp-
son, had just the sort of animal he wished
to own, and he had learned from Paul
that the pony had been bought at a very
reasonable price. Il want a pony" said
1ehn to himself: but the want never
went any further. He had learned not to
talk promiscuously about his plans
Should they fail to develop he might be
laughed at. If they proved successful he
would be all the happier for not having
told Of them to every Tom, Dick and
Harry of his acquaintance.
And that is why John had rented little
patch of ground at the outskirts of town
and had titled the soil and put in an early
garden. His mother and father had been
taken into his confidence, of course. but
no one else knew why John was up and
working early and working late, in the
little rented piece of ground
For two or three weeks Johns garden
had escaped the notice of the other town
boys of his age. Before school had closed
for the season he had got up at o'clock
and had two whole hours to work; then
another hour or two was found IN the
evening after school. The result was that
before any other gardener of that vicinity
had fresh vegetables for the market John
was selling truck from his garden at a
very nice price.
And then 1t was that he began TO excite
