Whitley walked into the yard and
stood in front of Spuds. Spuds did
not stop chewing on the crust of
bread. Whitley stepped back pace

clenched.
"Say-do you wunt to fight

"Sister Dora"

"Come quick" cried Dorothy to
her sister, Its raining and we can
put our bonnets on and wear them
out in the rain so they won't be
fit to wear to church" The two
little girls had been given bonnets
by their mother and they both
hated them.
Sunday came and the children
started to church hatless. Go put
your hats on, daughters" said their
mother. They ran to get them and
came back with the wrecks on their
heads, saying, "You see what a
fright they are, mother; we can't
wear them" But the mother was
firm and the girls wore the bonnets
to church that Sunday and many
Sundays following.
Dorothy Pattison became a saint
in the eyes OF the poor people. She
nursed them through all kinds OF
sicknesses and was always ready to
20 anywhere to care for the poor
and suffering. A statue of her was
erected in Walsall, England, and
the working people love to point
it out to strangers as their Sister
Dora"
