"Cows Have Such Funny Backs"

parsonage was near the edge of town,
and the girls passed only five houses
on their way home from the meadow
and all Of them were well back from
the road.
Lark argued and pleaded, but Carol
ed, land II 1t doesn't go we'll l can
slide off. You can lead her, Lark"
The obliglng Lark boosted her sister
up, and Carol nimbly scrambled into
place, riding astride.
1--WE got to ride this way" she said.
"Cows have such funny backs i
couldn't keep on any other way. II ]
see anyone coming, I'll slide for IT,"
For a while all went well. Lark led
Bllnkie carefully. gazing about anx-
iously to see that no one approached.
So they advanced to within two blocks
Of the parsonage. BY this time Bllnkie
concluded that she was being imposed
upon. She shook her head violently,
and twitched the rope from Lark's
hand, gave a scornful toss OF her
udlDlg Hfdus ulu SlIu'h OUT UIduis lDi
home. With great presence Of mind,
Carol fell fiat upon the cows neck, and
hung on for dear life, while Lark, In
terror, started out in pursuit.
Help! Help" she cried loudly.
Papa Papa! Papa! :"
In this way they turned In at the
parsonage gate, which happily stood
open. As luck would have It, Mr.. Starr
was standing at the door with two men
who had been calling on him, and hear
ing Lark's frantic cries, they rushed 10
meet the wild procession, and had the
unique experience Of seeing a parson-
age girl riding fat on her stomach on
the neck Of a galloplng Jersey. with
another parsonage girl in mad pursuit.
Blinkie stopped beside the barn, and
turned her head about inqulringly.
Carol slid 10 the ground, and buried
her face in her hands at sight Of Tie
two men with her father. Then, with
The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1917-03-09

the vase was a great platter piled high
with sweet corn. on the cob Around
the table were six plates, with the nee
esSary S.,verware. and glass of wa
ter for each. There was also small
dish of peaches at each place. and an
individual plate of butter. That was
all-except the napkins. But Prudence
made no apologies. She was n daugh-
ter of the parsonage! She showed Rev.
Mr.. Morgan To his place as graciously
and sweetly rs though she were usher
ing him in 10 twenty-sevon-course
banquet.
"Will you return thanks, Mr.. Nor
gan?" she said.
And the girls bowed their heads.
Rev. Mr.. Morgan cleared his throat,
and began: "Our Father We thank thee
for this table"
There was more OF the blessing but
the parsonage girls heard not one ad-
ditional phrase-eXcept Connie. who
followed him conscientiously through
every word. Carol burst into merry
laughter, close upon his reverent
"Amen"-and after one awful glare
ut her sister, Prudence joined in, and
soon ii was n rollicking group around
the parsonage table. Mr.. Morgan him
self smiled uncertainty. He was puz-
zled. More, he was embarrassed. But
as soon as Carol could get her breath,
she gasped out an explanation.
"You were just-right, Mr.. Morgan
TO give thankS-fOr the table, There's
nothing-on ito be thankful for !"
And the whole family went off once
more into peals of laughter.
Mr.. Morgan had very little appetite
that day. He did not seem 10 be so
fond of sweet corn as he had assured
Prudence. He talked very little too.
And as soon as possible he took his
hat and walked hurriedly away. He
never called at the parsonage again.
A few weeks after this Carol distin-
guished herself again, and 10 her last
ing modification. A man living only
six blocks from the parsonage had gen
erously offered Mr.. Starr free paStur-
age for his pretty little Jersey in his
broad meadow, and the offer was CRATE
fully accepted. This meant that every
evening the twins must walk after the
COW, and every morning must take her
back for the days grazing.
One evening, as they were starting
out from the meadow hOmeward with
the docile animal, Carol stopped and
gaZed at Blinkie renectively.

"Carolw calculated Lark. Think

Lark came upon them as they sat

CHAPTER II-Continued.

SO it was that the twins and Connie
were alone for n while.
"You did pretty good job, Connie"
said Carol approvingly.
"Yes, think l did myself" was the
complacent answer. But / intended

eye, hold us in the hollow of thy hand

"Never mind" said Carol, I'll use
that in mine, tomorrow"
1t cannot be said that this form Of
family worship was great success.
The twins were invariably stereotyped,
cut and dried. They thanked the Lord
for the beautiful morning, for kind
friends, for health, and family, and par
SOnage. Connie always prayed in SEN
tences extracted from the prayers of
others she had often heard, and every
time with nearly disastrous effect.
But later on the morning worship
went better. The prayers Of the chill
dren Changed-became more personal,
less flOweryr They remembered that
when they knelt they were at the
feet of God, and speaking direct to
him.
The family had been in the new par
sonage only three weeks, when Wis
iting minister called on them. 1t was
about ten minutes before the lunch
hour Of Of hiG orriyul
Mr.. Starr was In the country, visiting,
so the girls received him alone. 1t
waS an unfortunate day for the STAIRS.
Fairy had been at college all morning,
and Prudence had been rummaging in
the attic. getting 1t ready for rainy
day and winter playroom for the
younger girls. She was dusty and
tired.
The luncheon hour arrived, and the
girls came I'm from school, eager to be
up and away again. Still the grave
young minister sat dlscOursing upon
serious topics with the fidgety Pru-
dence-and In spite Of dust and per-
spiration. she was good to look upon.
Rev. Mr.. Morgan realized that, and
could not tear himself away. Finally
Prudence sighed.
"Do you like sweet corn, Mr.. Nor
gan"
This was entirely out OF the line OF
their conversation, and for a moment
he faltered. "Sweet cornT" he repeated.
"Yes, roasting ears, you know
CoOkpd on the cob"
Then he smiled. "Oh, yes. indeed.
Very much." he said.
"Well," she began her explanation
rsther drearily. II was busy this morn
ing and did not prepare much lunch
con. We are very fond Of sweet corn,
and cooked an enormous painful. But
that's all we have for luncheon-sweet
corn and butter. We haven't even
bread, because am going to bake this
afternoon. and we never eat IL with
sweet corn. anyhow Now, IL you care
to eat sweet corn and butter, and
canned peaches, we'd just love 10 have
you stay for luncheon with US"
Rev. Mr.. Morgan was charmed, and
said so. So Prudence rushed to the
kitchen. opened the peaches in a hurry,
and fshed out a clean napkin for their
guest. Then they gathered about the
table, FIVE girls and the visiting min
lister. II was really a curious sight,
that table. In the center stood a tall
