"Well, what do you want?" said P1 g her mother, for she would do every- Ps e thing to please Laura. w1 s But just at that minute Laura did p1 not hear what her mother said, for th S she was intent watching a little girl to who seemed to be very poor. Her tb clothes were ragged and her yellow hair fell prettily over her shoulders, o0 o but her little hands were blue with at t- the cold. e "Oh, mamma, do look at that poor bi e little girl," cried Laura, who had for- 61 r gotten all about the drive.
