CHAPTER III.
How Carol Spoiled the weddino.


A day in June-the kind of day that
poets have rhymed and lovers have
craved since time began. On the side
porch Of the parsonage, in wide ham,
mock, lay Aunt Grace, looking Ian.
guidly through half-closed lids at the
girls beneath her on the step. Pru-
dence, although her face was all
a-dream, bent conscientiously over the
bit of linen in her hands. And Fairy,
her piquantly bright features clouded
with an unwonted frown, crumpled a
letter in her hand.
81 do think men are the most ag.
gravating things that ever lived" she
declared, with annoyance in her voice.
The woman in the hammock smiled
slightly, and did not speak. Prudence
carefully counted ten threads, and SOL
emily drew one before she voiced her
question.
what is he saying now?"
'Why, he's still objecting to my hav-
ing dates with the other boys" Fairy's
voice was vibrant with GRIEF. "He
does make me wild! Aunt Grace, you
can't imagine. Last fall / mentioned
casually that I was sure he wouldn't
object to my having lecture course
dates-I was too hard up to buy a
ticket for myself; they cost four dol
lars, and aren't worth it, either. And
what did he do but send me eight dol
lars to buy two sets of tickets! Then
this spring, when the baseball season
opened, he sent me season tickets to
all the games, suggesting that my finan-
cial stringency could not be pleaded as
excuse. Ever since he went to Chicago
last fall we've been fighting because
the boys bring me home from parties.
He wants me to patter along by my
self like a-like-like hen!" Fairy
said "hen" very Grossly!
TITS shame" said Prudence SYM
pathetically. "That's just what it is.
You wouldn't say word to his TAX
ing girls home from things, would
youy"

USED HERCULEAN STRENGTH
Sir William MacGregor Years Age
Gained Distinction by Saving Many
Lives From Wreck.

Sir William MacGregor, G. G. NJ. g.,
Is a man of Herculean strength-in-
deed, until he took part some years
ago In the rescue of some Indian
coolies from a shipwrecked vessel, he
stated that he had not previously real
lied the value of his great strength,
says a correspondent.
A broken mast was the only connec-
ton with the stranded vessel, and over
this, again and again, Sir William
clambered with a man or woman on
his back, and more often than not
child also between his teeth, held by
the clothes.
On reef below was woman, who
had fallen overheard, having got at
the ships spirits and become mad
drunk. Two men who went after her
were In the act of being swept out
to sea, when Sir William slid down a
rope, seized the woman's hair between
his teeth, grasped the two men and
brought all three to place Of safety.
For this he received the Albert Gold
Medal from Queen Victoria, and the
Clark Gold Medal from Australia.

speech, and after that the Prince and
Princess spoke. The Prince told of
many things he would do in the sum-
mer-many new things he would teach
them and he hoped other ants would
come to school to help him. And
this the ants promised, for many of
them had planned to be school teach
ers. Others would still help with the
building, and still more would see
about bringing in the food as before.
$50 when the King gave twelve
blows with his scepter upon the
ground of Ant Big City, all the ants
thought Of the work they would do the
following summer, and at last they all
went to their separate homes for a
well-deserved rest"
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1918-01-24
CHAPTER lI-continued.

Prudence watched them with painful
solicitude. Her years of mothering
had given her an almost supernatural
intuition as to causes and effects.
On Wednesday morning Mr.. Starr
babe his family goodby and set out OF
a tour of Epworth league conventions.
He was to be away from home until
the end of the following week. A
prospective Presbyterian theologian
had been selected from the college to
fill his pulpit on the Sabbath.
At ten o'clock the train carried their
father off in the direction of Burling-
ton, and at eleven o'clock the twins
returned to the parsonage. Prudence,
Fairy and Aunt Grace sat sewing on
the side porch as they cut across the
parsonage lawn, their feet crinkling
pleasantly through the drift of autumn
leaves the wind had piled beneath the
trees.
"We're out of potatoes, twins" said
Prudence, as they drew near. You'll
have to dig some before dinner"
For one instant their complacent fea-
lures clouded. Prudence looked up es-
pectantly, sure of break in their Sc
rene placidity.
One doubtful second, then
Certainly, Prudence" said Carol
brightly.
And Lark added genially, WED bet
ter fill the box, l guess-so We'll have
enough for the rest of the week"
And singing light but unharmonic
snatch of song, the twins went in
search of basket and hoe.
Prudence's brows knitted in anxious
frowns and she sighed few times.
.sWhat is the matter, Prue? You
look like rainy Christmas" said
Fairy.
ats the twins" was the mournful
answer.
'The twins!" calculated Fairy.
why, they've acted like angels lately"
'That's it!-That's just it. When
the twins act like angels 1 get uneasy
right away. The better they act, the
more suspicious / feel"
"What have they been doing?"
Nothing! Not a thing! That's
why I'm worried. 1t must be some
thing terriblel'
Fairy laughed and returned to her
embroidery. Aunt Grace smiled and
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1918-01-24

began plying her needles once more.
But Prudence still looked troubled,
and sighed often.
There was no apparent ground for
her alarm. The twins came back with
the potatoes, peeled some for luncheon,
and set the table, their faces still
bright and smiling.
In the afternoon they joined the
little circle on the porch, but not to
sew. They took book, and lay down
on rug with the book before them,
reading together. Evidently they were
all absorbed.
Prudence, in spite of her devotion to
the embroidering of large SIS on as
sorted pieces Of linen, never forgot the
twins for a moment.
"What are you reading?" she asked
at last aimlessly, her only desire to
be treasured by the sound of their
voices.
There was an almost imperceptible
pause. Then Carol answered-her
chin was in her palms, which may have
accounted for the mumbling Of the
words.
"Scianceanealth."
"WhatT"

over the phone. She's going to Chris
tan Science lecture tonight. and she
said she wished l wasn't minister's
daughter and she'd ask me to go along.

you twins would enjoy 1t. She'll be
here in the car for you at seven forty
FIVE"
II won't CO." cried Carol. 81 won't
go near their old church. You can't
make me-"
Lark shook her head in corrobora-
tive denial.
"Well, that's queer" Fairy frowned,
then she smiled.
Suddenly, to the tempest-tossed and
troubled twins, the tall, splendid Fairy
seemed haven of refuge. And with a
cry of relief and shame and fear, the
twins plunged upon her and told her
their little tale.
"You punish us this time, Fairy"
begged Carol. We've don't want
the rest of the family to know. Wen
take any kind of punishment, but keep
it dark, won't your
"Tll talk 1t over with Prudence
said Fairy. Butt think we'll have
to tell the family"
Lark moved her feet restlessly.
well, you needn't tell Connie" she
said. "Having the laugh come back
on us Is the very meanest kind Of q
| punishment"
Fairy looked at them a moment
wondering if, indeed, their punishment
| had been sufficient.
"Well, little twins" she said, u
guess Will take charge of this my.
self. Here Is your punishment" She

stood up again, and looked down al
them with sparkling eyes as they
gazed~at her expectantly.
1--WE caught on that it was joke.
We knew you were listening in the
closet. And Prudence and l acted our
little parts to give you one good scare.
