let your friends move IN there. IneH
as soon as Sarah's father is strong
enough we can give him light work
in the garden. so that he need not feel
entirely dependent ON us. After a
while when he is well, / think can
find place FOR him in my office. Does
that meet your APPROVAL"
"Oh, father" cried Jennette. throw
ing her arms about him, that's the
best plan that ever was, and you're
the best father that ever was!"
Good Pm glad you like it, But,
continued her father. there's another
thing to be considered. on Christmas
we shall have a big celebration.
How would you like to make this
your own gift and use the money for
their presents that your own Christ
mas presents would have cost?"
Il would like it ever so much; truly
| would" declared Jennette.
Nowhere could one find n happier
gathering than that which met on
Christmas around the great Christmas
tree in Jennettes home. Sarah's father
was very much improved in health,
and his wife was even more happy and
cheerful than usual. As for the baby
well, she was the dearest, most rosy
checked little girl imaginable, for at
her new home she could play outside
from morning till night among the
flowers. Sarah, too, in her pretty new
dress was very happy and excited.
But best of all, to her father and
mother. was Jennette herself. for i'm the
pleasure of giving to others she had
or tirely forgotten herself. Indeed. she
became so captivated with the delight
of giving that after that she continu-
ally looked for opportunities to help
others. Then. too, from her friendship
with Sarah's mother she learned to al
ways look on the bright side of things.
So. though the freckles remain, Sarah's
face could not now be called plain. for
her smile is very winsome and she is
always sunny and bright.

"Shall start up collection" asked
Jennette.
II guess that's what Wen do" said
her father. "Ill give you some to start
with" He gave twenty-five dollars TO
start with. Jennette then got some
out of her bank and added II to the col
lection. Other people kept adding to
the collecting until there was nearly
forty dollars. Besides money, people
gave clothes.
At the end of the week Jennette
counted the money. There was forty
seven dollars. Jennette and her mother
then went over to Sarahs house with
the money and clothes. Sarah and her
mother and father were very happy.
Words couldn't express their hap
piness. Sarah's mother just stood
there and wept because she was so
happy. Jennette and her mother then
went home.
There wasn't happier girl to be
found than Jennette and she never
complained about her looks anymore.
Sarahs mother bought some food
and some medicine for their father. In
"A few days Sarah's father got well
and went to work. Sarah and Jen-
nette became the best of chums.

Next day when Jennette reached
school she could hardly wait until Sa-
rah's approach.
Jennette and Sarah were together
constantly and more than one of their
playmates remarked about it.
Mr. Cooper, for that was Jennette's
fathers name visited Sarahs family
and planned that Sarah's father and
family were to move out on one of Mr.
Coopers small farms.
He would be furnished with all of
the equipment and stock to tend the
farm and receive one-half of the profit.
Sarah went to school with Jennette
Just the same as usual Jennette is
very different person from the first
part of the story She is not hand
some as Sarah is, but she always has
a smile on her face and always has
kind word and look for every one.
Sarah is a beautiful blue-eyed, sun
ny-haired child, not only pretty in the
face but in her actions and manners
also. She is very grateful to Jennette
and her father.
Sarah's family has a very delightful
home and no longer have poverty star
ing them in the face as they did be-
fore Mr. Cooper and Jennette came to
their rescue. NO SIGNATURE.
When Jennette heard what her faith
er said she was very glad she could
