CHAPTER xI.
She Orders Her Life.

That was the beginning of Pru- dence's golden summer. She was not given to self-analysis. She hadn't the time. She took things as they came. She could not bear the thought of shar- ing with the parsonage family even the least ardent and most prosaic of Jef- rold's letters. But she never asked herself the reason. The days when Jerry came were tremuously happy ones for her-she was all aquiver when she heard him swinging briskly up the ramshackle parsonage walk, and her breath was suffoeatingly hot. But she took it as n matter of course. She knew that Jerry's voice was the sweet est voice in the world. She knew that his eyes were the softest and brightest and the most tender. She knew that lis hands had q thrilling touch quite .ferent from the touch of ordinary. less dear hands. She knew that his

sofd board about two feet in length. Well, we found this over by the Av- cry barn. We've found perfectly gorgeous place up in the old tree where we can make q seat. We thought you could nail this on to the limbs-there are two right near each other, evident ly put there on purpose for us. See what dandy big nails We have!"
 'From the Avery's woodShed, I sup pose" he suggested, smiling.
 "Oh, they are quite rusty. We found them in the scrap heap. We're very good friends with the Averys. very good indeed" she continued hastily. '"They allow us to rummage around al will-in the barn."
 And see this rope" cried Carrot. Isn't it dandy?"
 "Ah! The Avery barn must be inex- haustible in it's resources"
 How suspicious you are, Jerry" mourned Lark. We thought when you had the board nailed on, you might rope it to the limbs above. Do you sup pose you can do that, Jerry?"
 ''Well, let's begin. Now. observe! l loop this end of the rope lightly about my-er-middle. The other end will dangle on the ground to be drawn up at will. 1 bestow the good but rusty nails in this pocket. and the hammer here. Then with the admirable board beneath my arm, l mount"
 And Jerry smiled as he heard the faithful twins, with much grunting and an occasional groan, following in his wake.
 It was a delightful location, as they had said. The board fitted nice ly on the two limbs, and Jerry fastened it with the rusty nails. The twins were jubilant and loud in their praises of his skill and courage.
 '0h, Jerry!" exclaimed Carol, with deep satisfaction, its such blessing to discover something really nice about you after all these months p
 Now, we'll just"
 Hush !" hissed Lark. "Here comes Connie. Hold your breath, Jerry, and don't budge."
 Isn't she in on this?" he whispered. He could hear Connie making weird noises as she came around the house from the front. She was learning to whistle, and the effect was ghastly in the extreme. Comics mouth had not been designed for whistling.
 "Shl She's the band of dark -brewed gypsies trying to steal my lovely wife"
 ''I'm the lovely wife" interrupted Carol, complacently.
 But Connie does not know about it. She is so religious she won't be any of the villain parts.
 Connie came around the corner of the parsonage. out the back walk be

smile lifted her into a deIirium of de- light. Prudence never thought of that. She just lived in the sweet ecstatic dream of the summer, and was well and richly content.
 So the vacation passed and Indian summer came.
 It was Saturday evening. The early supper at the parsonage was over, the twins had washed the dishes, and still the daylight fingered. Prudence and Jerry sat side by side, and closely, on the front porch, talking in whispers. Fairy had gone for q stroll with the still faithful Babbie. Connie and the twins had evidently vanished An not quite that! Carol and Lark came swiftly around the corner of the par- Sonage.
 Good evening" said Lark politely, and Prudence sat up abruptly. Inc twins never wasted politeness! They wanted something.
 Do you mind if we take Jerry around by the woodshed fer few min utes, Prue?"
 Prudence sniffed suspiciously. What are you going to do to him?" she de- handed.
 We won't hurt him." grinned Carol impishly.
 Maybe he's afraid to come,' said Lark, flor there are two of us, and we are mighty men of valor."
 "Thats all right Prudence an- swered defensively. I'd sooner face d tribe of wild Indians any day than you twins when you are mischief-bent''
 "Oh, we just want to use him few minutes said Carol impatiently Upon our honor, as Christian gentle men, we promise rot to hurt hair of his head.'
 "Oh, come along. and cut out the comedy" Jerry broke in, laughing.
 Then the twins led him to the wood- shed. Close beside the shed grew u tall and luXuriant maple.
 Do you see this board?" began Lark. exhibiting with some pride .

 .Never mind the smoking. I only asked that question out of curiosity Tell me about your relations with your mother when she was lving.'

And never went abroad until after her death be- ause she did not like the idea ot my going so far from her.
 'Jerrold, my boy, 1 do not want to seem too severe, but-tell me, has there been anything in your life, about women that could come out and hurt Prudence later on?"
 Jerrold hesitated. "Mr Starr. I have been young, and headstrorg, and im- pulsive. 1 have done some things wish now 1 hadn't. But I believe there is nothing that 1 could not explain to Prudence so she would understand.'
 "All right. If you are the man, God bless you. And, do you mind if 1 just suggest that you go little slow with Prudence? Remember that she has been sound asleep, until this morning. do not want her awakened too rude Iy."
 'Neither do l." said Jerrold quickly. "Shall go down now? The girls have invited me to stay for supper and Prudence says I am to come back to- morrow, too. Is that all right? Re member, I'll be going home on Mon- day"
 Tt is all right, certainly. Spend as much time here as you like. You will either get worse, or get cured, and which ever it is, you've got to have q chance. l like you, Jerrold. Pru- dence judges by instinct, but it does not often fail her"
 Prudence heard him running down the stairs boyishly, and when he came in, before she could speak, he whis- pered, "Shut your eyes tight, Prudence. And do not scold me, for l can't help it.' Then he put his hands over hers, and kissed her on the lips. They were both breathless after that. Prudence at last was aroused from her slumber.

We are glad to count you among our friends"
 Thank you, but-you see, Mir. Starr, this is little different. Some day. Prudence and I will want to be mar ried, and you will wish to be sure about me-"
 Does Prudence know about that?'
 tNo" with smile, i've haven't got that far yet. But I am sure she feels ii. She hasn't-well, you know what 1 mean. She has been asleep, but I believe she is waking up now"
 Yes. I think so. Do you mind if l ask you a few questions?"
 "No, indeed. Anything you like"

 But she shook her head. "He win never know. Oh, Jerry! I can't bear to think of never seeing you again, and never getting letters from you. and it seems to kill me inside, just the thought of It."
 ''Sit here In my lap. Put your head on my shoulder, like that. Let me rub your face little. You're feverish. You are sick. Go to bed. won't you, sweet. heart? We can settle this later on"
 You must go right away, or I can. not let you go at all !"

 Don't you think you owe me some thing. as we'll as your father and sis. ters? Didn't God bring us together, and make us love each other? Don't you think he intended us for each oth CT? Do you wish you had never met me?'
 "Jerry!"
 "Then, sweetheart, be reasonable Your father loved your mother, and married her. That is Gods plan for all of us. You have been wonderfully brave and sweet daughter and sister, know. But surely Fairy Is old enough to take your place now."
 "Fairy's going to be a professor, and the girls do not mind her very we'll. And she isn't as much comfort to ia. ther as l am. It's just because I am most like mother, you see. But any how, l promised. 1 can't leave them."
 Your father expects you to marry and to marry me. l told him about if myself, long ago. And he was perfect ly willing. He didn't say word against it."
 ''0f course he wouldn't. That's just like father. But still, I promised. And what would the girls say if 1 should go back on them? They have trusted me, always. If I fail them, will they ever trust anybody else? If you love me, Jerry, please go. and stay awaya But her arm frightened about his neck I'll wait here until you get your things. and We can-say goodby. And don't forget your promise.'
 "0h. very well, Prudence" he an CNgara6 hul irrt ttoh tat on ordering me away from the house like this, can only go. But"
 Lets not talk any more about it, Jerry Please I'll wait until you come down.
 When he came down little later, with his suitcase, his face was white and strained.
 She put her arms around his neck. Jerry" she whispered. '.I want to tell you that I love you so much that-I could go away with you. and never see any of them any more, or papa or the parsonage, and still feel rich. if just had you You-everything in me seems to be all yours. I--love you"
 Her tremulous lips were pressed against his.
