look after the housekeeping end. but the
real responsibility OF the place would
rest on the shoulders of Bricktop. he to
be assisted by The Twins.
The next morning. after Mr.. and Mrs.
Perkins departure. Bricktop was up early
and out TO look after old Dandy, the
carriage horse. He had Dandy's stall
cleaned before breakfast and Dandy
turned Into the lot for exercise Then
the chickens were fed and watered, the
snow swept from the south side of their
coop, so that the feathered fellows might
come out to enjoy the winter air and
sunshine without injury to their feet
In fact, every chore that Bricktop's
father was in the habit of performing
the young man looked after most consci-
entiously.
And while their big brother was look
ing after the work outside the house
Bette and Lettie were not lazy inside
the house. There was Songster. the pet
canary, who was their mothers especial
charge. The Twins attended to his
wants, putting fresh seed ana water TO
him 10 a most scrupulously cleaned cage,
which they hung in the bay window,
where the suns rays flooded II, making
Songster so happy that he sang his best
anthem for them before breakfast. And
many other little duties were performed
by The Twins before they descended TO
the breakfast table, where Bricktop
awaited them.

ladies' are TO superintend the work.
But The Twins did not have time to
reply, for at this moment Maggie came
in with their breakfast. saying: Good
morning, Master Brick and Bette and
LettIe. How are EQUALS this morning

the tray on the table, she continued to
