"A good lesson, of course. Now, when he comes home he'll expect to find
you cross, and perhaps sulky with him. Suppose, instead, he finds you
smiling and with a nice little apple turnover that you have made for
him; what do you suppose he will think? Why, that you are too good a
girl to be treated so badly; and, perhaps, too, if he sees you smiling
and loving, he will realize how much better it is to be that way than
selfish as he has been."

"Oh, mamma!" And now there were no frowns on Judy's rosy, dimpled face;
nothing but smiles. To make a turnover was a delightful treat in itself.
But to help Tom to be a nice boy was more of a satisfaction. So the
little girl started to work, and under her mother's tuition soon had a
very wonderful-looking turnover made and baked.

[Illustration: The frowns had all left.]

"I'd most like to put salt in instead of sugar, just to pay Tom up,"
Judy thought to herself; and then a better feeling came to her and she
added: "Oh, no. I wouldn't, 'cause that wouldn't be right. I want Tom to
think I'm as nice as Daisy's brother thinks she is."

Master Tom came home whistling shortly after the dainty had been removed
from the oven. He thought Judy would be waiting for him with angry
words. So she was waiting for him, but with a beautiful smile, a rosy
face, and on a plate in her hand what seemed to Tom a very delicious
tit-bit.

"I made it--made it for you, all by myself. Mamma said I could."

"Oh, Judy! And I wouldn't take you with me!" exclaimed Tom regretfully.
