Their names were Nina and Chris
tina, but for miles around their home
on the West creek turkey farm they
were known as Nine and Ten. The
Mason twins were never far apart. AS
little girls their pink sunbonneted
heads bobbed in harmonious compan-
ionship over the rolling farm acres.
The Mason twins were very beauti-
full to look upon, and they were so
similar in face and form that even
their own father, Captain bod Mason,
couldn't tell them apart. They were
sweet tempered, merry hearted girls,
and they had never lacked for admir-
ers, who led most unhappy existence,
for it amused the Mason twins to
change characters and puzzle their
prospective lovers almost into imbe-
cility with their pranks.
But Cupid had been playing pranks
with the twins themselves, and today
Nine and Ten, busted with the work
Of their motherless home, were silent
and distrait. Suddenly Nine spoke,
her back turned to her sister, as she
reached into the china closet:
'"Ten," she began, faltering.
eyes," replied Ten in the same sort
Of voice.
care you-are you engaged to Jack
Nickerson?"
There was a little silence while Ten
shook her duster out of the window.
Then "How did you guess?" she asked
in low tone that tried to be gay.
ooh, I thought so, that's all. l may
as we'll tell you that I promised to
marry Linn last night" Mines voice
sounded tragically hollow from the
depths Of the closet into which she
persistently burrowed.

she left the room. Nine heard her run

hastily up the stairs to her own room
listened to her light tread across the
floor and then silence.
Nine withdrew her head and looked
miserably around the sunshiny room.
II don't see what is the matter with
her." she murmured. "If she's engag-
ed to marry Linn she ought to be the
happiest girl in the world-just fancy!'
Captain bod Mason and his two
partners, Linn Oswald and Jack Nick
'erson, had been riding around the
ranges taking count Of the focks Of
turkeys. It was the shipping season,
and soon the handsome bronze birds
would be corralled and protestingly ex-
ecuted and hustled into the cold stOr-
age cars that even now awaited their
coming on the spur tracks at Pento.
"My appetite tells me it's nearing
dinner time, boys" said the captain
genially as they concluded their con-
ference. eff you can manage to get
that last flock of gobblers out of that
roOst in the cottonwoods I'll telephone
down to Pento for the gang to come
up in the morning, and we'll start
things going Coming to the house
now?'
"I'll be along presently" remarked
Linn gloomily. "Guess I'll take an
other look at those chaps in the cot
tonwoods."
"Same here" added Jack Nickerson
laconically, and together in moody ST.
lence they watched the captains ro-
tund figure riding easily across the
ranges. his horse gracefully rising over
every split rail fence that impeded his
progress.
"Fine old boy" said Linn. with a
heavy sigh.
BEST ever-I say, Linn Jack s
voice had lost it's customary tone of
assurance. He spoke almost shyly
"Fire ahead" encouraged Linn reck-
lessly, as if he knew what his COM
panion was going to say and wanted
to get it over with.
''I'm engaged to marry Ten Mason"
blurted Jack suddenly.
'"Then you ought to be the happiest
man in the world" uttered Linn grave
ly as he held out his hand
Happier than the man who marries
Nine? demanded Jack jealousy
"Who told your? Linn stared at
him.
