BesSie'S Fortune.

ESSIE NORTON'S parents were
- the very richest people in Frank
- lin She had nurses and gov,
ernesses, and teachers, and
SO many servants to do the slightest
bidding that, wlen she had almost
reached fifteen years age, she had
never. in all her life, done so much as
dress her hair or tie her own shoe.
But, in spite of all this wealth, Bessie
was lonely and unhappy. Her father
was wrapped up in business and hel
mother in society. and, as Bessie was
an only child, she was left to herself
with nothing to do. Sne envied her two
acauaintances, Lucy and Mary, whose
fathers were not rich at all. who spent
much of their time helping their moth
ers in their housekeeping and enjoyed
their play the more for it.
Sometimes Mary would say to her,
when she wanted her to join her at ten
mis-. I'm sorry, but cannot play just
vet I'm helping mother bake the Gin
namon cake that Gather loves so much;
he says / have 20 help to make it taste
right. and, of cours@. I love to make
it
Or Lucy would say when perhaps lIes-
sic asked her TO go riding: Il cannot
go for a while, Bessie; this is my
morning to look over papa's wardrobe" "
Why don't you have the sewing wom-
an do that?' Bessie once replied.
why. we cannot AFFORD to have a
sewing woman replied Lucy, 'and
even if We could. 1 wouldn't let any
body in the world attend to my father S
clothing hut my very self. Why. 1 just
love to fix things for him SO that he
will look nice and neat. He would think
I didn't love him if l didn't do that for
him"
And Bessie wished in her heart that
she could do something for her father
that he would appreciate that way. But
AT her home the servants did every
thing.
One day, as she sat lonely Dy the win
dow, her father came in looking very
sad. He called Mrs. Norton and said.
1t breaks my heart 10 tell you that
have lost the most of my fortune. We
will have to give up this great house
and all these servants. and live in a
cottage with only one servant: l cannot
