broke forth, when they walked sedate-
ly out and took their seats along the
side of the platform-an antedilgvian
custom which has long been discarded
by everything but Sunday schools and
graduating classes.
The program went along smoothly,
with no more stumbles than is custom
airy at such affairs, and nicely punctu-
ated with hand clippings. When the
superintendent read, "Recitation-Miss
Carol Starr" the applause was enthu-
siastic, for Carol was prime favorite
in church and school and town. With
sweet and charming nonchalance she
tripped to the front of the platform
and gave graceful inclination of her
proud young head In response to the
applause. Then her voice rang out,
and the room was hushed. Nobody ever
worried when Carol spoke a piece.
Things always went all right. And
back to her place she walked, her face
flushed, her heart swelling high with
the qualification Of a good deed well
done.
'Carol," Lark whispered. Tim

Instantly the triumph left Carols

passionately, gripping her twins hand
closely, you are not, you're all right"
Lark trembled more violently. Her
head swayed little. Bright flashes
of light were binding her eyes, and her
ears were ringing. "I-can't," she NUT
tered thickly. I'm SICK"
Carol leaned close to her and began
violent train of conversation, for the
purpose of distracting her attention.
Lark grew more pale.
"Recitation-Miss Lark Starr"
Again the applause rang out.
Lark did not move. II can't" she
whispered again. II can't"
Lark, Lark" begged Carol desper-
ately. "You must go, you must. The

Carol and Hartley-one of her high
school admirers-led off by running a
race down the parsonage walk. And
Lark, old, worn and grave, brought up
the rear with Jim Forrest. Jim was
favorite attendant of the twins. He
had been graduated from high school
the year previous, and was finishing
off at the agricultural college in Ames
But Ames was not far from home, and
he was still frequently on hand to
squire the twins when squires were in
demand.
For this broad-minded devotion the
twins gave him a deep-seated gratitude
and affection and he always stood high
in their favor.
"Are you scared, Lark" he asked
her as they walked slowly down the
street toward the church.

needed anything to make him a bit
livelier.
II see I'll have to tell you right

a few moments the storm was not
quite so bad while the Storm King told
his story.
"Now you know, my dear Subjects"
began the Storm King, "when began

have a mild storm, perhaps a little
help from Mr.. Wind. But as for such

looked like a storm. Yes, they said
they could see a storm coming. Now

what do you suppose they said next?"
"We can't imagine" answered the
heads of the Storm Kings armies.
"I'll have to tell you them" said the
Storm King.

"They said that they would have to

"What in the world did they mean
by beating the storm?' asked Prince
Sleet.
II didn't feel them beating me-" said
Mr.. Wind laughing very cold laugh.
"Thats the great joke" said the
Storm King. "All they meant by say
ing that they wanted to beat the storm
was that they wanted to hurry and
reach their houses before we arrived"

Remember the parsonage" begged
Carol. 'Think of Prudence. Think of
papa. Look, there he is, right down
there. He's expecting you, Lark. You
must p
Lark tried to rise. She could not.
She could not see her fathers clear en-
couraging face for those queer flashes
of light.
"You can" whispered Carol. "You
can do anything, if you try. Prudence
says so.'
People were craning their necks, and
peering curiously up to the second row
where the twins sat side by side. The
other performers nudged one another,
smiling significantly.
II can't" Lark whispered, "I'm sick"
"Lark-Lark," called the superin-
tendent.
Carol sighed bitterly. Evidently it
was up to her. With grim face, she
rose from her chair and started out on
the platform. The superintendent
stared at her, his lips parting. The
people stared at her too, and smiled,
and then laughed. Panic-stricken, her
eyes sought her fathers face. He nod
ded quickly, and his eyes approved.
"Good!" His lips formed the word,
and Carol did not falter again. The
applause was nearly drowned with
laughter as Carol advanced for her
second recitation.
1.-THE wind went drifting DER the
lea," she began-her voice drifting
properly on the words-and so on to
the end of the piece.
Most Of the audience, knowing
Lark's temperament, had concluded
that fear prevented her appearance,
and understood that Carol had come to
her twins rescue for the reputation
of the parsonage. The applause was
deafening as she went back. 1t grew
louder as she sat down with a COM
PORTING little grin at Lark. Then as
the clapping continued, something of
her natural impishness entered her
heart.
Lark" she whispered, "go out and
make bow
Mercy" gasped Lark. IT didn't %
anything"
1T was supposed to be you-go on,
Lark! Hurry! You've got to! Think
what a joke 1t will be-
Lark hesitated, but Carols doni-
nance was compelling.
DO as / tell you," came the per-
emptory order, and Lark arose from
her chair, stepped out before the as
tonished audience and made a slow
and graceful bow.
This time the applause ran riot, for
people of less experience than those of
Mount Mark could tell that the twins
were playing game. AS it continued.
Carol caught Larkin's hand in hers,
and together they stepped out once
more, laughing and bowling right and
left.
Lark was the last one in that night,
for she and Jim celebrated her defeat
with two ice cream sodas apiece at the
corner drug store.
I disgraced the parsonage" she
said meekly, as she stepped into the
family circle, waiting to receive her.
Indeed you didn't" said Fairy. "It
was too bad, but Carol passed it Oh
nicely, and then, turning it into a Joke
that way took all the embarrassment
out of 1T. 1t was perfectly all right,
and we weren't bit ashamed"
