ZION OF good Qeed well done.
She sat down by Lark. glad she had
done it: glad it was over and praying
! that Lark would come OF as well.
] Lark was trembling.
| Carol" she whispered, "1-Tm
scared"
| Instantly the triumph left Carols
heart. You're not" she whispered
passionately, gripping her twins hand
closely, you are not, you're all right"
Lark trembled more violently. Her
head swayed little. Bright flashes
of light were binding her eyes and
her ears were ringing. "I-can't," she
muttered thickly. I'm SICK
Carol leaned close to her and began
a violent train of conversation, for the
purpose Of distracting her attention
Lark grew more pale.
"Recitation-Miss Lark Starr"
Again the applause rang out
Lark did not move. Il can't" she
whispered again. 81 can't"
Lark. Lark" begged Carol desper-
ately. You must go, you must. The
wind went drifting DER the lea'-it's
easy enough. Go on, Lark. You must"
Lark shook her head Minimum"
Remember the parsonage" begged
Carol. Think of Prudence. Think of
papa. Look, there he is, right down
there. He's expecting you, Lark. You
must"
Lark tried to rise. She could not
She could not see her fathers clear
encouraging face for those queer
flashes of light.
"You can," whispered Carol. "You
can do anything If you try. Prudence
says So"
People were craning their necks and
peering curiously up to the second row
where the twins sat side by side. The
other performers nudged one another,
sn ling significantly. The superintend
ent creaked heavily across the plat
form and beckoned with one plump
finger.
Il can't. Lark whispered, I'm
sick"
"Lark-Iark," called the superin-
tendent
Carol sighed bitterly. Evidently it
was up to her. With grim face, she
rose from her chair and started out
on the platform. The superintendent
stared at her, his lips parting. The
people stared at her, too, and smiled,
and then laughed. Panic stricken, her
eyes sought her fathers face. He nod.
ded quickly and his eyes approved.
Good" His lips formed the word
and Carol did not falter again. The
applause was nearly drowned with
laughter as Carol advanced for her
second recitation.
1.-The wind went drifting DER the
lea," she began-her voice drifting
properly on the words-and so on to
the end of the piece.
Most of the audience, knowing
Lark's temperament, had concluded
that fear prevented her appearance
and understood that Carol had come to
her twins rescue for the reputation Of
the parsonage. The applause was deaf
ening as she went back. 1t grew loud
er as she sat down with comforting
little grin at Lark. Then as the clap
ping continued, something of her ma.
tural impishness entered her heart.
Lark" she whispered, go out and
make bow
Mercy" gasped Lark. Il didn't do
anything"
1T was supposed to be you-go on,
Lark! Hurry! You've got to! Think
what joke it will be-"
Lark hesitated, but Carols domin-
ance was compelling.

MONEY SAVING ADVICE ON
 PUMPS AND WiNDMILlS

Replying to an inquiry from a Casa Grande farmer, Prof. c. l.. r. Smith. irrigation engineer, L. of A Agricul- tural Extension Station. says: You should never. under any circumstances. use a tvo-inch column pipe on a six inch pump cylinder. and l think you are planning on running the pump somewhat too fast For your lift the pump should not run over . to 2S strokes perminute, and it is much bet ter to use SIP inch discharge pipe on a 6-inch cylinder or ! would recon mend 6inch column pipe to the 5s.- inch pump cylinder. This will enable you to withdraw the valves without taking up your column pipe. If you should force the water through a Finch pipe the friction loss would he terrific, and the shock each time the water is started up the pipe would be so great that you would be breaking the pump rods constantly. I would recommend that you get a 2-horse power gasoline engine and burn the cheap special gas oils. l cannot recommend you to buy windmill, inasmuch as the wind vel ocitieS in the Casa Grande. valley are very low. Windmills are practicable in the Sulphur Springs valley and in DOT tions of northern Arizona, but not in your district.
