ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
By Olive Roberts Barton

The next place the cute little train
stopped at was called Merry Go
Round Town.
AS soon as the Twins got off at
the station they heard the music.
1t didn't take long for them to find
the place where the Merry Go Round
was, because all they had to do was
to go in the direction the sounds
came from.
"Ding! Ding!" went a bell when
the Twins were almost up to it.
Then the music stopped and the
! Merry Go-Round slowed down.
Right beside them was a little
coop with wire window which had
"Tickcts" in large letters over the
/ top.
81 wish we had some money
whispered Nancy to Nick. I'D love
to have ride!"
Just then funny little fellow
stuck his head up over the counter
of the little coop and said, you
don't need any money here. We give
our tickets away for nothing"
"Goody!" cried both Twins.
That's kind" .&.
"How many?" asked the funny lit
tie man.
"Six tickets a piece, please" said
Nick quickly.
ooh, we won't have time" de-
clared Nancy. "The train will go
without us. You see," she explained
to the funny little ticket man, 1--WE
are travelling through Choo- Choo
Land to hunt for my rag doll who

time at each station. You didn't
happen to see Ruby Joan, did you?"
"No, didn't" answered the little
man kindly. 81 don't believe she's
been here at all! But now that you
are here, you may as well enjoy
yourselves. Hop on and ride as long
as you like and I'll telephone to

Choo-Choo Express, to wait for your"
"Thank you'll" cried the Twins rae
ing toward the Merry-Go-Round ana
climbing on.
They rode on every one of the
animals from the zebra to the giraffe.
1t was enough to make them dizzy
for the rest Of their lives.
After while they went back to
their train, after thanking the kind
little man.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO HER HUSBAND, JOHN
ALDEN PRESCOTT,

know you will be glad to know,
dearest, that l am really having a
lovely time on this visit in New
York.
Mother bought Alice a very Won
derful wardrobe to go abroad and
dad insisted the first day | was here
should 60 out and buy myself a
frock or two, although l told him
did not need them and would
rather have the money for other
things.
1 did, however, buy one evening
gown and, oh Jack, it's splendifer-
Gus. All shimmering gold cloth ex-
cept where it leaves my neck and
arms quite bare. You'd love it, Jack
The other night we were all Hoins
to the Midnight Frolic, but at the
last moment Alice, who had eaten
too much candy, became quite ill
and mother and dad insisted that
Karl Whitney and I should go on
alone.
Did tell you that Karl came down
to see Alice off? Honestly, Jack,
think he is quite smitten on the
child and she is simply dippy about
him.
l went with him, dear, and had a
perfectly wonderful time, but
wished for you every minute.
Do you remember how, before we
were married, you always insisted
after 1 had used the lipstick on my
mouth, in looking me over to see
if '"the color were on straight"-as
YOU said. "Well! At the table l took
out my vanity case, as always do
with you, and repaired my makeup
little.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1923-06-27

Almost instinctivcly turned around
Honestly, Jack, l thought for a
moment that was going to look into
your face and / cannot tell how dis
appointed l was when it was karPs
eyes instead of yours that looked
approval.
What do you suppose that man,
who is older than you, had the as
surance to tell me? That l was
much more frivolous and not half as
sensible as my little sister Alice!
| got back at him by telling him
how happy you and l were together
and how you were just the loveliest
man in all the world-which you are,
dear.
& 1 told him I would rather be poor
with you than wear the jewels that
any other man had given me even
if they were worth a kings ransom.
Karl looked kind of queer and
said, "Then he save you those
pearls" And I answered, Heavens,
they are only beads. Alice gave them
to me. She told me she got them
from someone that made me think
Betty Stokley had sent them to her
from England. I'll try to get her to
bring back another string for me
for Beatrice Grimshaw. They are
the best imitations l ever saw"
eyes," answered Karl, "they make
one think that if imitation pearls
can look so perfect, how is man
to know anything that is real-even
real love-"
Karl always did say the quecrest
things, Jack. LESLIE.

Some Facts About Spiders

The black -bellied tarantula is
humane killer. With a single stroke
he cuts the cervical ganglia at the
back of the victims neck It is the
only point where a single sting will
prove Immediately fatal, and the
tarantula apparently knows it.
Web-spinning spiders do not pos
sess the ready appetites of the taran-
tula- They prefer to ensnare their
game in webs and sting certain nerves
which will produce paralysis rather
than death. Being biood-suckers.
these spiders thus preserve the body
juices Of their victims until they are
in g. mood to dine.
First and last the spider is a
mathematician. It is the role in
which he stars. Though brilliant as
an aviator and surgeon. his exploits
in these fields necessarily are limited.
As a geometrician. he could fill col
lege professorship were he gifted
with human speech.
The common garden spider spins
q web that shows marvellous powers
OF calculation. 1t is shaped, roughly,
like a wheel, with more than a score
of spokes.
How does the weaver always man
sge to place these spokes so that
they will be the same distance apart
With the angles formed at the center
of The wheel equal?
but this is not all. The spider now
fills In the space between the spokes
with what is known to mathema-
ticians as the logarithmic spiral.
This is a curved line, starting at the
center or pole" and proceeding in
ever widening and parallel curves to
its outer end. 1t Is one Of the most
beautiful of geometric figures
From what sources has the spider
obtained this knowledge of geometry?
The usual answer. instinct" is not
sufficing. though 1t is the best science
has to offer. Naturalists Of a future
age may solve the riddle.
