ADVENTUROUS
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

The Twins couldn't help smiling
when Mister Sky Bow took them to
the place where the Tootsies lived.
For the Tootsies were folk with
enormous feet, although the rest of
them were quite small.
"How do you dog" said one of the
Tootsies, holding out his hand to
shake hands.
"I'm pretty we'll, thank you," an
swered Nick, "but i, can't shake
hands with you because / can't get
near enough. Perhaps If you stand
sideways l could"
"Oh, that's all right" said the
Tootsy. Step right on
So Nick stepped up on one of the
Tootsy's feet and shook hands. So
did Nancy,
Its too bad!" said Nancy.

Tootsy.

What about my feet?"

Twins.
"Ho, no, no! That's a fine ioke!"
answered the Tootsy.

walking we never get tired, we can't
sprain our ankles for our feet never
turn over, and our shoes are so big
We sleep in them at night. Besides
when we go barefoot in the wet
grass, think how good it feels"
But what do you do when thew
get cold?" asked Nancy. "There's SO
much of them to ache!"
"All the more to stamp around
with" answered the Tootsies. "And
think what fun we have sliding"

Sky Bow. "But come now. We must

WHY FAIL?

Hull Farm near Achlson Kansas. Right in for the
road to failure is harder than the road to

difficult Trouble u.s. most of waste too much time seeking
impossible shortcut to instead of following the old
liable road way-hard work patience and
mon honesty.
One of national weaknesses near-mana for magi-
cal formulas. Well never be satisfied until able to
cure disease with pill have pockctsize radio with

only way we'll ever attain the projections crave.

AIR CASTLES

is all quite fne to vision glorious castles in the air.
Such is necessary part of ambition And no doubt our
ar castles inspire to redobd effort when out of
trance
but many Of us waste much time day dreaming that
we have little time left for actual accomplishment
We dream much of better job that we neglect
the present or immediate oband thereby delay prog

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COLT TO LESLIE PRES.
COLT, CONTINUED

You can seen dear little Mar
quise, that l had started something.
l did not really intend to bring
things to a showdown until i had
consulted Jack, but having already
brought it about, l was not going
to back down.
Miss Bradford had already begun
to put on her wraps.
l really felt sorry for Mrs. Pres
colt. All at once she seemed to
have grown shrunken and old. She
looked from Priscilla to me in con-
.sternation.
I knew that she did not want to
break with me on account of John,
but knew she loved Priscilla. All
at once l understood that here was
girl of the same tempe ramant, the
same mid-Victorian ideas, who had
been very kind to her for years. It
was perfectly natural that she
should have wanted her to marry
her son. 1t was not queer at all
that she resented me, stranger.
Fortunately l remembered there
was train which, although it did
not stop Mt our little town, stopped
in the city where Karl was going
and this train would take me back
to Albany by noon the next day.
The thing to do now, however, was
to make Mrs. Prescott understand
that l was not leaving her in anger.
So turned to Miss Bradford and
said, 81 really think it is better for
you to stay with Mother Prescott
it was the first time l had called
her mother" Although the word
almost came to my lips inadver-
tently, because felt sudden pity
for her loneliness, the lighting UP
of Johns mothers face showed me
