"Well, I've been thinking about that, and it seems as if the best thing would be to make some one else very happy. You know the five-dollar gold-piece that Uncle Will gave me for Easter?"
"Yes, dear."
"Well, do you think he would mind very much if I spent it all on giving somebody else a good time?"
"He would not mind in the least, I am sure, but I thought you had decided to buy a bracelet just like Lulu Bell's."
"Yes, I had; but, you see, that was before I began to think about the Thank Offering."
"Well, and when did you first begin to think of the Thank Offering?" Mrs. Hamilton asked, smiling.
"It was yesterday afternoon, when Betty Randall was so disappointed because the man at the livery stable told her it would cost five dollars for a carriage to take her little brother for a drive. I've been thinking about it ever since, and to-day at recess I told Lulu, and she thinks just the same as I do."
"You mean that you would like to spend your five dollars in hiring a carriage to take that little cripple boy and his sister for a drive?"
"Yes, mother; do you think I might? I don't know the little boy yet, but I like Betty very much, and she was so disappointed."
Mrs. Hamilton was looking both pleased and interested.
