There were eight big, tempting
apples.

sitting down sociably beside them on
the hay.
But Carol rose. "Damsel, bcgone,"
She ordered. "When Skull and Cross
bones feast, thou canst not yet share
the festive board. Rise thee, and
speed"
Connie rose, and walked soberly
toward the ladder. But before she dis
appeared she fired this parting shot,
Il don't want any Of them. Stolen
apples don't taste very good, reckon"
Carol and Lark had the grace to
flush little at this, but however the
stolen apples tasted, the twins had no
difficulty in di@posing of them. Then,
full almost beyond the point of com
Tort they slid down the hay chutcs,
went out the back way, turned the cor
ncr, and came quietly in through the
front door of the parsonage.
Prudence was in the kitchen preDar-
ing the evening meal. Fairy was in
the sitting ROOM busy with her books
The twins set the table conscicntiously
illlcd the woodboy and in every way
laborcd irrcproachably. But Prudence
had no word Of praise for them that
evening. She hardly seemed to know
they were about the place. She went
about her work with pale face, and
never smile TO be seen.
Supper was nearly ready when Con-
ME Sauntercd in from the barn. After
leaving the haymow she had found 81
coHT corner in the corncrib, with two
heavy laprobcS discarded by the twins
in their light from wolves, and had
settled down there to finish her story.
AS Sh" stepped into the kitchen pru-
0cncc turned to her with such a sorry.
rcproachlul gaze that Connie was
frightened.
Are YOU sick, Pruc?" she gaspcd
Prudence did not answer. She went
to the door and called Fairy. 'Finish
getting supper, will YOU, Fairy? Ana
when YOU arc all ready, YOU ana the
twins so right on eating. Don't wait
for father he isn't coming home until
evening. Come upstairs With me, Con-
uie; | want to talk to YOU"
Connie followed her sister sobcrly,
ana the twins flashed at each other
startling and questioning looks.
The three girls were at table whom
Prudence came into the dining room

and carried it of upstairs. Then she
came back and sat down by the table.
iiut her face bore marks of tears. and
She had no appetite. The twins had
felt small liking for their food before ::
now each mouthinl seemed to choke
hom. But they dared NOT ask a oucs-
ton. They were d"voutly thankful
when Fairy finally voiced their interest.
"What is the matter? Has Connie
been in mischicf?"

How the SchoCl May Reach the Home.

How the SchoCl May Reach the Home,
October the 18th was Food Conser
vation day and the teachers all ovc,.
me united States were asked to tell
the school children something they
could do to help win the war. The
teachers were asked TO tell the Chill
dren all they could about food conser-
Vation and then require the children
TO write a composition on the sub
Jcct. The normal class of the CITY
schools wrote letters to their parents
instead Of compositions. nelow Is
one or he letters suggesting tic way
rural teachers may reach the homes
OF the people i'm their communities
through the school.
Laurcns, S. c.,
Oct. 10, 1917.
My Dear Mother:
You have already learned that this
is food conservation day. My teacher
has requested that [ write YOU and
lell you how | can help America win
this war by eating wisely, eating
enough and not wasting. | think it
VIII DG help to YOU to know this too.
In the first place we can help the
soldiers by sending them as much
food as We can Of the most nutritivc
value in the least shipping space. TO
40 ms we can buy less and cook no
more than is necessary and when we
eat not take any more on our nlatc
than is absolutely necessary
we can cat less Of wheat, beef, pork,
dairy products and sugar and cal
more OF other foods OF which We have
an abundance.
The idea of having whcatlcss day
is a very good plan. and think YOU
should adopt it. Vegetables, such as
Deans, take the place OF meat. Use
butter instead fmcat also. Use cv
eryihing that is left over from one
meal in some way for the next. An
otiicr GOOD plan is not to let the
children cat between meals.
Hope this will be Of some benefit
to YOU also in hclping America win
this war,
Lovingly,
Annie Belle.

A century ago Tuesday the presen

began its celebration OF the event, which
was concluded Monday evening.
The old church, wearing still its Christ

ever Sunday morning. Cedar was twirec
about the pillars, stately little Christina:
trees stood at intervals on the railngs
of the gallery callas and Easter lilies
shed their Pursuance from the window
stills: the pulpit was tiny grove OF
evergreen trees, with a few wreaths Of
holly suspended from the wall above
while ropes of cedar stretched from gal
lery to gallery across the end walls.
The music consisted of the old anthems
and hymns sung generations ago, and was
rendered by a choir Of several times thu
usual size. Next to the address Of tn,
morning. which was delivered by the Eov
Prof. 5. L. Emerson of the State unVor
eity. the music was easily the fcatur,
