1 love you, Prudence. Whenever you send for me, I am ready to come. En- | tirely and always yours, Jerry"
 With trembling fingers she opened { the little package. It contained q ring, with brilliant diamond flashing my riad colOrs before her eyes. And Pru- dence kissed it passionately, many times.
 Two hours later, she went quietly downstairs to where the rest of the family were decorating a Christmas tree. She showed the ring to them grayely.
 Jerry sent it to me" she said. Do you think 1t is all right for me to wear 1t, father?'
 A thrill of hopeful expectancy ran through the little group.
 Yes. indeed" declared her father. "ELow beautiful it is! Is Jerry coming to spend Christmas with us?"
 Why no, father-he is not coming at all any more. l thought you under stood that"
 An awkward silence, and Carol came brightly to the rescue "ft certainly is beauty 1 thought it was very kind of Professor Duckie to send Lark ard He q fye-pound box of chocolates, but of course this is ever so much nicer. Jerry's a bird, I say"

 Lark came to her twins defense. 'Yes, q bird-that's just what he is.
 Carol smiled. I've saw him use his wings when Connie yanked him out of the big maple, didn't we, Lark?' Then, Did you send him anything, Prue?
 Prudence hesitated, and answered without the slightest accession of col or, "Yes, Carol. 1 had my picture taken when I was in Burlington, and sent it to him.
 'Your picture! Oh, Prudence Where are they? Aren't you going to give us one?a
 .'N0. Carol. I had only one made for Jerry. There aren't any more."
 Well" sighed Lark resignedly. Its pretty idea for my book, anyhow"
 From that day on Prudence always wore the sparkling ring-and the wom- en of the Methodist church nearly had mental paralysis marveling over a man who gave a diamond ring and never came a-wooing And girl who accepted and wore his offering, with nothing to say for the man! And it was the consensus of opinion in Mount Mark that modern lovers were mostly crazy, anyhow!
 And springtime came again.
 Now the twins were always original in their amusements. They never fol- lowed blindly after the dictates of GUS tom. And when other girls played "cateh" with dainty rubber balls, the twins took unto themselves q big and

CHAPTER XII.
She Comes to Grief.


 Fairy was one of those buoyant, indeed the great restorer Now she stood in the kitchen door, tall, cheeks glowing, eyes sparkling, and smiled at her sisters solemn back
 You are the little mousey, Prue," she said, in her full rich voice. Il didn't hear you come to bed last night, and I didn't hear you getting out this morning. Why, what is the matter?' For Prudence had turned her face to- ward her sister, and it was so white and so unnatural that Fairy was shocked.
 Prudence You are sick! Go to bed and let me get bfeakfast. Here, get out of this, and I will"
 "Theres nothing the matter with me. but I am all right now. Are the girls up yet2"
 Fairy eyed her suspiciously. "Jerry Is out unusually early, too, isn't he? His door is open
 "Jerry has gone, Fairy" Prudence's bdth NuS IitStllitI lp NlNh pilN' HUI 7, and Prudence was stirring the oatmeal with vicious energy. He left early this morning-I suppose he is halfway to Des Moines by now
 "Oh l' Fairy's voice was noncom- initial. 'When is he coming back?"
 He isn't coming back. Please hurry, Fairy and call the others. The oatmeal is ready"
 Fairy went soberly up the stairs, ostensibly to call her sisters.
 Girls" she began. carefully closing the door of their room behind her. Jerry has gone, and isn't coming back any more. And for goodness sake, don't keep asking questions about 1t. Just eat your breakfast as usual, and have little tact
 "A lovers quarrel" suggested Lark, her eyes glittered greedily,
 "Nothing of the sort And don't keep staring at Prue, either. And do not keep talking about Jerry all the time. You mind me, or l will tell papa"
 That's funny" said Carol thought fully. We saw them kissing each other like mad in the back yard last night and this morning he has gone to return no more. They are crazy"
 Kissing! In the back yard What are you talking about?
 Carol explained, and Fairy looked still more thoughtful and perturhed.
 She opened the door, and called out to them in q loud and breezy voice Hurry, girls, for breakfast is ready, and there's no time to waste in q par senage on Sunday morning.. Then she added in a whisper, And don't you mention Jerry, and don't ask Prudence what makes her SD pale, or you'll catch it!"
 Then she went to her fathers door "Breakfast is ready, D pa" she called clearly. She turned the knob softly, and peeped in. May l come in min ute?" Standing close beside him, she told him all she knew of what had hap pened.
 Prudence is ghastly father, just ghastly. And she can't talk about Il yet, so be careful what you say, Will you?"
 And 1t was due to Fairy's kindly ad' monitions that the parsonage family took the departure of Jerry so calmly
 That was the beginning of Prudence bitter winter, when the brightest sun shine was cheerless and dreary, and whei, even the laughter of her sisters smote harshly upon her ears. She tfiee to be us always, but in her eyes the wounded look fingered. and her face grew so pale and thin that her father

Mrs. w. Il. Davis passed away at
her home north of town Saturday eve

graduated from the high school at
Lima, Ohio and finished her education
at the National Normal school at Le-
banon, Ohio, taught few years near
her girlhood home at New Augusta,
| Indiana.
In 1874 she was united in marriage
to w. T. Davis. She is survived by
her husband, two children. f. G..
Davis of Chicago and Olive f. Davis
of Paw Paw; by two brothers, Glenn
ent Purdy of New Augusta, Indiana
and Elijah Purdy of Webster Grove,
Mo.
The funeral services were held at
the home Tuesday at 80 p. M.
Mrs. Davis was a woman whose life
showed her faith in simple sterling
worth. She devoted her life greatly
and steadfastly to her family and
home. In the years when strength
permitted, her home was opened free
ly to friends, and especially the home
less and needy. She will be greatly
missed by those who felt the influence
Of her gentle life.
