asked John, cor come back later to fix
them? Somebody might come in and
see them before it was time and give
the whole thing away
NO" said Tom, nobody will come in
You see everything is ready until the
people actually come, and it's time TO
bring in the sandwiches and stuff.
They've all been to see that the table
is all right, and now mother and Uncle
Jack will wait to come In with the
others. Besides, II we left 1t we
mightn't get chance to get into the

servants do come in they won't notice
that anything is wrong"
Accordingly the dolls were returned
to their places and the. boys prepared
to creep softly out on the veranda and
escape through the garden without
any one seeing them. But unfortu-
nately just as they were putting this
plan into execution a heavy tread was
heard along the veranda and the boys
caught a glimpse OF Mary. the fat
cook. coming toward the dining room
door.
CET under the table quick" She

gasped Tom.
Meanwhile the cook moved busily

kitchen to the buffers pantry. prepar-

head from side to side in a strangely

For fully an hour she walked back
and forth. preparing the delicacies for
the feast and also concluding her ar
rangements for the family dinner. and
then decided that as It was getting
near the time or the party tea she
ought to tell Mrs. Tompkins at ali
hazards.

CECILIA'S BIRTHDAY DINNER

RT was to be Cecilia Tompkins very
BEST birthday party. Everybody
knew that meant something most
enchanting because Cecilia had al
ways had perfectly lovely parties.
Tieis was. Ceeilis's best party. partly
because she bad arrived at the age OF
II Hear., and when one is u there can
be rather an elaborate style Of party
in comparison with that which real
little sirls have.
In the first place there was TO befthe
surprise as. usual. The surprise was
lovely ball Of pink paper chrysanthe-
NUNS. which already was suspended
from tire center Of the nursery ceiling.
Pink ribbons hung from the bottom Of
the pink BAH, and when the guests ar
rivcd each was to be given ribbon,
and when Uncle Jack said pull ev-
erybody was to pull his or her hardest
until a shower of gifts came tumbling
down to be scrambled for. Even ce-
ella didn't know what the gifts inside
the chryssnthemum ball were.
ooh, it's beauty she cried. clap

came. is the prettiest I've ever had,
Uncle Jack. and the color matches my
sash ribbon exactly"
4 understand. it's to be pink and
white rarty." said Uncle Jack
oh. yes" said Cecilia. happily,
every single thing is to be in pink and
white. 1 know the girls win love it,
but. Uncle. you haven't seen the best
part; it's the place cards. You know
1 never lad place cards before. They're
quite grown up. Always before 1 have
had just the Jack Horner pie and the
surprise ball but this year l know the
girls will like the place cards best of
all"
Cecilia ran gayly into the dining
room, where the table for the party
was already arranged. 1t was indeed
Cnarmirgly pretty. and Uncle Jack was
warm in his praises In the center
there was q lovely arrangement of tiny
pink roses, the candle shades were
mink; there were dishes of pink and
fhite bonbons, and at each of the "a
places a lovely hand painted paper doll,
standing stiffiy up and hold in her little
hand the name of the person who was
to have the honor to sit down in front
of her.
And the best part of it is.' said ce-
ella, delightedly, that they are all
different. OF course, the boys won't
like them so much, but I'm perfectly
sure that the girls will like them bet
ter than the other souvenirs"

"Oh, yes" said Cecilia, but she can't
bear having such awfully friZZy hair.

she'll love sit."
.'Marcella Monroe read Uncle Jack,
picking up another of the place cards.
"Oh yes, that's the little girl that
lisps."
'Yes. and that's what she doesn't
like, either" said Cecilia. She's try
ing to get over it; you see people tease
her so.'
1T isn't kind to speak about it in
her presence" said Uncle Jack.
Just then the doorbell rang, which
meant that the first guest had arrived,
and Cecilia and Uncle Jack went
hastily upstairs to receive them. Meth
er of them noticed that back of the
portiere which concealed the door to
the veranda there had been a sus-
picious commotion when they entered
the room. In moment the commotion
was over and the corner without
sound. But as soon as they had gone
from the room there was a sudden
eruption from behind the portiere and
about year older than Cecilia, and one
of them who looked a good deal like
her was her brother Tom. The other
boy was Toms chum from across the
street. John Dacre. a boy with merry
brown eyes and saucy tip tilted nose
Just now he looked a bit sheeplsh and
wriggled his shoulders uneasily.
Say he biurted out, "it's bit mean
to spoil the kids fun, eh? You can
see she thinks a lot of those things"
We'll, she didn't invite us to her
old party. and we won't abe able to
get a thing to eat either until they've
had all the stuff they want. I don't
believe there'H be near enough ice
cream left for us; there wasn't last

As soon as she had gone through the
dining room and library toward the
hall and drawing room, where the
dancing was going on. the boys
crawled out from under the table. and
risking no fresh imprisonment dashed
out on the veranda.
Mary making her way to the frent
of the house, heard their dash for lib
erty just as Uncle Jack came out into
the hall. "Why, what is il. Nary he
asked kindly, seeing the cooks troubled

HARVESTING ORANGES
(StectaI Coyyest0ndent)

Oranges require great deal more care
In their preparation for market than is
generally supposed. An army of $4,000
people is annually employed in harvest
ing the crops OF "Sunklst" oranges. The
details of this harvest are much more
varied in the orange industry than is the
case with apples, though both are or
chard products and the manner of their
handling has many points in common, in
the puDlic mind at least. In the case OF
"Sunkist oranges, however, after being
carefully picked they are sorted for size
and quality. Next comes the whiting"
process, twentyfour hour 'sweat-box"
method of absorbing all moisture from
the skins. Then the fruit undergoes a
double brushing process to make it daint-
fly clean. After sun bath Of several
hours the oranges are next run between
revolving cylinder. brushes for a final
polish, and then comes the last sorting,
grading, wrapping and packing. As they
move along from one course of treatment
to another all the oranges are placed on
soft pads to prevent them from being
bruised or scratched, and the packers are
required to wear gloves for the same
reason. Upon the whole, a "Sunkist'
orange has no cause for envying the child
that is born with a "silver spoon in its
mouth"

THE CLEAN Of a pink frock far
"a down the side OF the mountain
III had caught Tom Awtry's eye,
and he released the handle
OF the drag saw and sat down up
on the log he was cutting The sun
showed little mercy to the shingle
blocker, and Tom threw open his shirt
front to invite the GOODNESS of the
breeze. His thoughts were pleasant.
and they had been in that state for the
past two weeks ever since lilly Mar
tin had promised to become his wife
He now looked upon the old cabin with
disgust 1t was unfit for Tilly's occu-
pancy. There must be a new one. and
some good American dollars must be
turned out of the single blocks before
the thing could be accomplished. I'm
der these circumstances time was pre-
cious, and the growth Of the heap of
sawdust at Toms feet had wonder
full value to his eyes. But the sight Of
that pink frock among the laurel leaves
down there along the stream brought
to him the temptation to lose at least
one half hour out of the mornings
work.
lilly was fishing, and with some sue
cess, for she was intensely interested
and never once turned her face toward
the side of the mountain above her
where the single blocker was at work.
Tom got up from the log and strobe
off toward the stream. The pink frock
had remained motionless for some
time, and Tom knew the fish were bit
ing. When within q dozen steps of
the bank Of the stream smile of mis-
chief passed his lips, and he turned his
swinging gait into a creeping step and
moved stealthily forward until he was
just behind lilly, where she stood
watching the bobbing of the line. Tom
caught her by the arm, lifted her clear
Of the bank and dangled her form out
over the water. Then there was a
scream of fright that echoed down the
gorge for q mile and started the pleas
ants from their hiding places anon,
the underground. But the scream had
hardly escaped her lips when she was
drawn back again and into the en-
brace of Tom, and the echo Of his
laughter followed that Of the scream.
But when the moment of surprise
had passed and lilly had glanced ~p
into Toms face her cheeks went from
the white light Of fear to the danger
signal Of anger, and she broke from

and fell unanimously, while two tears
glistened in her eyes. Tom took a step

backward and allowed his chin to rest
on his breast, crushed by the reproach
of Tilly's eyes.
"Tilly, I-I-are We mad with me?"
lilly caught her lower lip between
her teeth and remained silent, her fin
gers working nervously.
"For heavens sake, Tilly, tell me We
amt mad, so l can look up again.
But nothing came from lilly save
the sound Of her still labored breath
ing. Toms head remained bowed, and
he waited a moment. The waters Of
the stream swished against the rocks,
but the music Of it did not at that mo-
ment appeal to the single blocker.
"Tilly! Oh, Tillyv'
The cry came from the depths Of his
soul, and the tone Of it seemed Of cav
ernous origin. But there was only ST.
lence for an answer, and it cut into
his heart like an edged tool. If he had
taken moment to consider how fright
tned she would be, this awful situa-
ton might have been avoided. But it
was too late to think of that now. A
weakness seized Toms limbs, and,
with head still bowed, he sank to his
knees, with his hands outstretched i'm
ploringly.

His voice was weaker, and the sad
ness of his tone was surely enough to
declare the fullness of his repentance.
