over, the colonel promptly gave de-

the vase was "A great platter piled high
with sweet corn, on the cob Around
the table were six plates, with the nee
essary silverware, and a 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 a daugh-
ter of the parsonage She showed Rev.
Mr. Morgan to his place as graciously
and sweetly as though she were usher
ing him in to twenty-seven-course
banquet.
"Win you return thanks, Mr.. Nor
GAM" 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-rxcept Connie, who
followed him conscientiously through
every word. Carol burst into merry
laughter. close upon his reverent
"Amen"-and after one awful glare
at her sister, Prudence joined in, and
soon it was a 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 to 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 to 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
oiohu hicduoN, anu the olcl was Sihtc-
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 rehectively.
Lark" she said, 81 just believe to
my soul that 1 could ride this COW.
She's so gentle, and I'm such a good
hand at sticking on"
"Carolw CALCULATED Lark. "Think
how it would look for parsonage girl
to go down the street riding a cow"
"But there's no one to see" protest
ed Carol. And this was true. For the

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
was firm. 81 must try It," she insist
ed, land If 1t doesn't go well l can
slide off. You can lead her, Lark"
The obliging Lark boosted her sister
up, and Carol nimbly scrambled into
place, riding astride.
'Tve got to ride this way" she said.
Cows have such funny backs
couldn't keep on any other way. If
For a while all went well. Lark led
Blinkie carefully, gazing about anx-
iously to see that no one approached.
So they advanced to within two blocks
of the parsonage. BY this time Blinkie
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
dainty head, and struck out madly for
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.
"Helpl Helpw she cried loudly.
Papa Papa Papa"
In this way they turned in at the
parsonage gate, which happily stood
open. AS luck would have ii, 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 to
meet the wild procession, and had the
unique experience of seeing a parson-
age girl riding fiat on her stomach on
the neck of galloping Jersey, with
another parsonage girl in mad pursuit.
Blinkie stopped beside the barn, and
turned her head about inquiringly.
Carol slid to the ground, and buried
her face in her hands at sight of the
two men with her father. Then, with

never a word, she lit out for the house
at top speed. The three men sat down
on the ground and burst into hearty
laughter.
Lark came upon them as they sat
thus. and Lark was angry. She
stamped her foot with a violence that
must have hurt her.
Il don't see anything to laugh at"
she cried passionately, sit was awful,
it was just awful Carrie might have
been killed lit"
"Tell us all about 1t, Lark" gasped
her father. And Lark did so, smiling
little herself, now that her fears
were relieved. poor Carol" she said,
shell never live down the humilia-
ton l must go and console her."
In little while Carol felt much bet

dence very seriously.

that l shall never have anything more
to do with Blinkiel She can die of
starvation for all care. I'll never
take her to and from the pasture again.
l couldn't do it, Such rank ingrati-
tude as that COW displayed was never
equaled, / am certain"
81 suppose youll quit using milk
and cream, too" suggested Prudence.
"Oh, WELL" said Carol more toler-
antly, 81 don't want to be too hard
on Blinkie, for after all it was partly
my own fault. SO l won't go that far.
But l must draw the line somewhere
Hereafter Blinkie and 1 meet as
strangers !"

CHAPTER lI-Continued.

SO it was that the twins and Connie
were alone for while.
"You did a pretty good job, Connie, "
said Carol approvingly.
Eyes, l think | did myself" was the
complacent answer. but l intended
TO put in, Keep us as the apple of thy
eye, hold us in the hollow of thy hand,
and l forgot it until 1 had said Amen
l had a notion to put in postscript,
but / believe that isn't done"
"Never mind" said Carol, 'I'll use
that in mine, tomorrow"
1t cannot be said that this form of
family worship was a 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
fences 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 flowery. 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 n Wis
iting minister called on them. 1t was
about ten minutes before the lunch
con hour at the time of his arrival.
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 it ready for a rainy
day and winter playroom for the
younger girls. She was dusty and
tired.
The luncheon hour arrived, and the
girls came in from school, eager to be
up and away again. Still the grave
young minister sat discoursing 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
GAM"
This was entirely out of the line of
their conversation, and for a moment
he faltered. "Sweet corn7" he repeated
Eyes, roasting ears, you know
cooked on the cob"
Then he smiled. "Ok, yes, indeed
Very much" he said.
''Well," she began her explanation
rather drearily, 81 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-sweei
corn and butter. We haven't ever
bread, because am going to bake this
afternoon, and we never eat it with
sweet corn, anyhow Now, if you care
to eat sweet corn and butter, anc
canned peaches, we'd just love to have
you stay for luncheon with u.s."
Rev. Mr.. Morgan was charmed, ant
said so. SO Prudence rushed to tn,
kitchen. opened the peaches in hurry
and fished out clean napkin for theil
guest. Then they gathered about the
table, five girls and the visiting min
lister. 1t was really a curious sight
that table. In the center stood a tai
vase of goldenrod. On either side OF
