"cows Have Such Funny Backs"

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. Il must try It," she insist
ed, "and If 1t doesn't go well can
slide OF. You can lead her, Lark"
The obliging Lark boosted her sister
up, and Carol nimbly scrambled into
place. riding astride.
i've got to ride this way" she said.
couldn't keep on any other way. If I
see anyone coming, I'll slide for it."
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 q 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.
"Help! Help!" she cried loudly.
'Papai Papa! Papa"
In this way they turned in at the
parsonage gate, which happily stood
open. AS luck would have it, 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 fat on her stomach on
the neck Of a galloping Jersey, With
another parsonage girl in mad pursuit.
Blinkie stopped beside the barn, and
turned her head about inquiringiy.
Carol slid to the ground, and buried
her face In her hands ut sight Of the
two men with her father. Thaa, WITH

SO 1t was that the twins and Connie

"Never mind" said Carol, "I'll use

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
Tor the beautiful morning, for kind
friends, for health, and family, and par

about ten minutes before the lunch
con hour at the time of his arrival.
Mr.. Starr was in the country, visiting,
50 the girls received him alone. Il
was an unfortunate day for the STAIRS.
Fairy had been at college all morning,
and Prudence had been rummaging in
the attic. getting 1t ready for 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 fdgety 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
sanr
This was entirely out Of the line Of
their conversation, and for a moment
he faltered. "Sweet corn" he repeated.
Yes, roasting ears. you know

Then he smiled. "Oh, yes. indeed.
Very much." he said.
"Well." she began her explanation

HAWAIIAN DANGERS.

The Royal Hawaiian Serenaders, a 10-people company of native Hawaiian singers and dancers. will be the fea-
 ture attraction at the Orhpeo theater today and tomorrow. There is no mu-
 sic in all the world that has the charm and sentiment that the Hawaiian has when it is sung and played by real natives. The patrons of the Orpheo have a real musical treat in store for them. The dancers are native girls, who do a real "hula-hula" dance. The famous Hawaiian instrument, the ukelele, will be very much in evidence, and this and the steel guitar will play an important part in the program. This company carries special scenery, and with the native Hawaiians, Pine Bluffians will get real local color of the romantic and picturesque islands.
