From the twins there came a wall.
Last year they had been too small to
go to parties, but now the last tuck

they felt their Importance. Not to be
allowed to attend Cissy Bradley's party
was a calamity such as never before
had visited their young lives. There
was little enough pleasure IN the Pet

upon the party.
Perhaps. it was their chatter Of bob
bling for apples and the consultation OF
fate through the medium of wells
looked down at midnight that led their
father to his decision. For days they
had talked of nothing else. At any
rate they were not to go, and they
looked at their mother helplessly.
When the head of the family spoke
there was no appeal. His decision was
final, and it was with surprise that
they heard their mother speak up.
You might let them go, Simon, "
she pleaded 'eThey were too sick to

He went out of the room with an
air that forbade discussion, and left his
wife to ace the disappointment of the
little ones. It was characteristic of the
Peters household that no further word
of protest was heard until the slam of
the storm door announced that the
man had gone out to the barn. Then
two sobbing little forms precipltated
themselves upon the mothers lap
that haven of refuge in so many do
nestle storms. Mrs. Peters. through
long habit of obedience, could give
no aid other than her sympathy, but a
world of tenderness was in her voice
as she soothed them. Here at least
her love could find outlet.

Nothing Doing.

During a lecture tour that James
Whitcomb Riley once made through
the state of Missouri he found himself
one day. compelled to put up at par
ticularly uninviting hosiery in town
not far from Jefferson City.
Mr.. Riley says that when. after a
hard night on q shuck mattress, he
came down to the villainous-smelling
s'dining-room," he was in anything but
a. cheerful and amiable frame OF mind.
He seated himself at a table opposite
a. rough-looking fellow who was busily
engaged in conveying his food to his
roollfh. bv means of his knife. 81 might
have suffered this without complaint,
saws Mr. Riley, 'sbut when he began
to dig with that same knife into the
dish Of butter placed upon the table
for the common use of all who might
be seated thereat, felt that it was
nv duty to offer some remonstrance.

to help clear UP the supper things.
They had learned to place implicit be-
lief in their mothers assurance, even
before they had come to realize the in

Simon Peters, driving back from
Saltwater in the early evening was
suddenly reminded that it was Hal

as he drove through the village. 1t
had no good effect upon his temper,
and he smiled with grim satisfaction
as he realized that his children at
least were not being permitted to make
fools of themselves in following the
senseless customs.
But the twins did did not dash out
to welcome him when his buggy wheels
grated upon the gravel of the path
and he stalked into the house even be-

room.
