headache, got out of bed on the left

was supplemented by blows, thuds,
and walls in chorus. Mrs Mercy
FASTENED to the battle scene. On
the bed, nightgown-clad, were seat
ed the three-year-olds - Jimmy,
audibly nursing a rapidly rising,
discolored lump on his forehead,
and Pat, catching slowly dripping
rose colored drops from her nos
trils. Two mangled tin engines -e-

she reminded, as she pressed the
fiat side of a silver knife blade to
Timmy's painful acquisition. Never
to fight" she repeated, automatic
ally, as she washed Pats sensitive
little nose. Now come and eat
your breakfast"
During that meal they squirted
orange juice at each other, forked
the buttered mashed potatoes into
fancy&hapes, which they overturn-
ed on the clean tablecloth. In sky
high glee they hilariously stirred
their cocoa, splattering wide areas

you any cookies" at which threat
they subsidized somewhat until the
end of the meal.
Then the twins took possession OF
the den, next to the kitchen. In
spite of the fact that a china closet
full of fragile porcelain, a movable
family album, and the clean wall
paper we're in the same room with
the twins, Mrs. Mercy let them stay

But you just had your breakfast

She had made up her mind that she
was ''hungwy.'

Mrs. Mercy was beating eggs fol

Pat shook her golden curls in de

Again Mrs. Mercy went to tn

The innocents trotted away.
Taking advantage of this brio
respite, Mrs. Mercy swept tn

into the oven, and began to knea,

twins, she untimely rejoiced in thi
welcome quiet.
Immediately an awful crash, &C
companied by a heartrending show
issued from the den. Her hear
jumped. Rolling pin in fioure
hands, she ran toward that distress

bawling Tommy. An overturne
chair, minus . leg, lay near tn
