L A DREARY INVALID.
p Helen was , in truth. a dreary Invalid.
1 The sununer vacation. to which she had
looked forward with so many fond antici-
.
. Patlons during the school year , was now
hopelessly si > ohIetl. She had worked hard
during her school months. She was sensi-
4 ble of the fact. As a reward for her In-
dustry. her father had given her , as he
promised he would , the long coveted bi-
cycle.
How Proud she was of the wheel ! lichen
thought sue could never weary while skim-
inlng ssIftIy over the smoothly Pa'el
streets , under the leafy trees , down the
broad avenues and over the winding paths
of the park. To her the summer vacation
Was to be one long drawn out season or
Pleasant days and nights.
of course , the thoughts of hardworkIng
1atnma gave her an occasional twinge ; but ,
then , she had her bicycle , and thoughts of
the dull routine of domestic duties were
asIIy forgotten.
Themi came the unfortunate accident , in
'whIch Helen was ilckel UI ) very rhitc and
very faint from where she had fallen , a
confused heap on the Pavement.'hen
flnally carried borne , time doctor was sum-
imbued. Iu looked grave as he gently cx-
arnined her injured knee and told her that
it had been very badly sprained. lie placed
it in a hllaster cast and told her that at
th very best she could not be free under
six months. lie kindly counseled patience
anti advised her to busy her mind with
some light occupation.
The good old doctor left helen in a pitIful -
ful state of misery. In spite of the doctor's
advice. she persisted in making herself as
¼ miserable as she could. She had her room
darkened , rctused to see her girl friends
I ' 'nho caine to inquire for her and buried
her face in the pIllow , content with passing
the time In bemoaning her own condition.
TOM'S PLAIN TALK.
Time doctor's advice was sound , but it
was reserved for daster Tom , a free-spoken
youth of 12. to be the first to arouse liden
from her unhappy frame of mind. lie had
entered her room to bring a letter and had
stumbled and fallen over a footstool.
,
'l say , Helen , " he cried , indignantly , as
ho arose and rubbed his elbow , "want us
all to get hurt and be laid up , don't you ?
fr. You're runnIng this thing into the ground ,
curtaimma down , everybody tiptoeing about
with a long face , and you acting as though
you % s'ere the only sick person in town ,
fussing and frettIng and not making the
best of thIngs. "
"There isn't any best , " moaned the girl.
. .
'Course there Is , " cried Tom , cheerfully ,
"you might have hurt both knees and dis.
Iocatel ( a shoulder and broken eight or ten
ribs , and we might be dreadfully poor and
have hard work to pay our doctor's bill.
I mentioned that to father at breakfast ; he
aaI ! lie didn't mind the bill , but he did
t wish you had more common sense and con-
sitleration for other people than to act as
You do , he hadn't supposed you were so
h'premely selfish. I didn't either , none of
r' ever suspected it. "
\ , , "Did papa talk like that about me ? "

"Not those very words. but those are the
Ideas Some boys get hurt a sight worse at
foot bail , often they have a concoction of
the brain , but they don't act like perfect-
that is. they don't act awful silly , they
just bear it , boys are made that way , it is
their nature to. Even if I was a girl , I'd
be ashamed to make mamma trot up and
down stairs trying to get things for you
that you won't have until she thinks her
feet will drop off Nothing tastes just right
for you , I s'poSe the cook will give notice.
Father said if you weren't disabled he'd like
to shake you on account of your notions. "
Helen gasped for breath.
"My father said that about me ? "
Not Juit that. maybe , but that's the
linriression your only father gave us about
his only precious daughter who makes the
house seem like a tomb , Nobody has
drawn a free breath since you got hurt. "

Helen sat straight up in bed and flied

hELEN'S REFORMATiON.
It was several hours later when Mrs.
work aim a large basket of stockings ,

behind. "
Helen pouted the least bit in the world.
'I hate plain sewing , and above all ,
darning. "
" ts. I have hearth that you do , " said her
father , calmly , "perhaps your mother does
not enjoy it ; divided between you , it might
not he burdensome. and she could find time
to visit a little , she Is confined to the house

I might baste and get work ready for
the machIne. I suppose I have been a

unfaltering promptness. "Then let Us

"Never mind the rest. Helen. it is not

he burst into tears. "You think I'm
not , you think I'm lazy and conceited anti
fond of my own way , and peppery and ad-
fish. "
"You understand your own faults so well ,
darling , " said her father , drawing her head
down to his shoulder and kissing her hot
forehead , "that I believe you will try to
correct them now that you have time. It is

hELEN'S CONFESSION.
Arnold went 'to Helen's room. She was
greatly astonished to find her seated near
the open window ; her face was red and
swollen with weeping , but she. looked calm
and aelf.possessed.
"Mamma , I've been thinking what I'd
better do this vacation while I'm laid up for
repairs. I am going to study my history
for next year , read the novels we have been
told to take in connection with our English
literature , "Ivanhoe , " "Last of the Barons , "
"Tale of Two Cities , " and so on , anti I'm
going to write half of my essays , say about
ih'e , antI go on with my French , then I
shall be very much at leisure next year ,
maybe I'li have time for extra study. "
"An excellent plan , I'm sure , " said her
mother , almost too surprised to speak. "You
might begin some of your Christmas fancy
ork , making do3'iies and embroidering
handkerchief initials ; you are always so
hurried then. "
"Yes , I will. I'm sorry I've lost ten days ,
I might have done a great deal. Tell the
girls to caine tip at any time now. Richard
is herself again , I hope cook will have some
strawberry shortcake soon , she does make
the best. If papa will visit nie tonight , I'll
read the paper to him ; that reminds me. I
want my "Emerson's Essays , " they are
with time rest of my school books. don't take
the trouble to bring up anything now , wait
till somebody baa to caine up , and will you
leave my door open , Itlease mamma , so that
Snowtlako may come in ? "
CONFIDING IN SNOWFLAKE.
11cr mother went away , fearing to break
the spell by a word , IFelen had been almost
her father's idol ; his s'ords about her
throughtless conduct had cut her to the
heart , She , selfish and Inconsiderate , an ob.
ject of discomfort to the whole house ! She
was too quick-witted not to realize that It
was all true , and she had fortitude anti clii

cycle bells made her clal ) her hands to her

Snowflake put two velvet paws on 11cr

"Granti and heroic things are rare , " said
her father , smiling , "but there is always

FEARING NO L'NSELFISIJNESS ,
"Just what Emerson says , " observed
i Helen to her confidant ss'hen her father had
left the room , "Since those two sages agree ,
I think I'd better follow their counsel. "
Snowflake stretched himself , yawned his
t'htcst anti purred Ostentatiously. It was a
good omen , his mistress thought.
lichen arranged a program for every day ,
a time for her own studies and for Tom's ,
for sewing and for reading aloud to her
mother ; she set apart half an hour for
weeping and bemoaning her miserable lot.
but discovering one morning a pair of birds
building iii her neighbor's lilacs , she gradually -
ally came to devote the wailing tIme to the
daily progress of the nest , the eggs , and tile
young. Tile weeks sped by pleasantly.
Never hail a vacation passed so quickly.
In a hundred ways not thought of before
she learned to help others ,
In August she could walk about the house I
