Mrs.Brier had the sympathy of everyone, and many would have helped her if they could.

She waited on her big husband with untiring zeal, and still had time to care for the children with all of a mother's love.

It seemed almost impossible that one little woman could do so much.

It was entirely to her untiring devotion that her husband and children lived.

Mr.Brier had but little sympathy or help from any one but her.
