walks prlm, we'll dressed young
woman. She is leading by chain
great big dog. She and the dog
occupy about three seats. As the
weather is hot and the dog is hot,
that car soon smells like kennel.
If an American company allowed
anything of the sort, it would almost
create a riot among the perspirlng
people. But in the English car nary
a murmur.
In fact, men and women drop their
newspapers, smile at the young wo-
man and begin talking to the dog.
He is the center of attention. He
becomes the topic of general CONVEX
sation. And everybody is happy.
When the King Of Denmark was
in England recently, one of the first
places he visited was an agricultural
show. Two-fifths of his own sub
jects are farmers and they like the
idea of their king also being in the
business.
So he has become farmer, real
one. He has become a fan on pig
raising. And he also has model
dairy farms.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

"Sh!" said Nick to Nancy Don't
make any noise.'
The Twins were standing very still
under a burdock leaf near the place
where Flop Field Mouse lived. Hav-
ing their magic shoes on they were
so little you would have had to look
twice to see them yourself.
BY and by the front door opened
and out came Flop all dressed up in
nice starched shirt and red neck
tie.
"Now do keep yourself clean, Flop"
said his mother every day l start
you off to Happy Go Lucky Park
clean from the skin out. and you
come home looking as though you
had been digging in coal mine"
Flop looked kind of queer when
she said that, but all he said was.
"All right, Nanny, I'll be careful"
And away he went jingling his 10
pennies in his pocket and whistling
But catching sight of old Mister Owl
looking out of his window, he quit
and hurried away into the woods.
The Twins went after him, still
going as quietly as they knew how.
and they saw Flop stop under the
hazel bush where Mickey Mole lived
and knock on Mikey's door.
Hello, Flop" said Mickey, coming
out and closing the door behind him.
"I'm ready"
Away went the two chums arm
in arm through the woods toward
Happy Go Lucky Park.
Nancy and Nick were behind them.
They were not eavesdropping, but
they couldn't help hearing what the
friends said, for they were talking
right out loud.
"What are you going to buy to-
day. Flop?" asked Mickey.
II think I'll get a pink lemonade
and ride on the merry-go-round."
said Flop. "Mebbe I'll get the brass
rinr and get free ride"
"That's what I'm going to do
said Mickey.
"Copy cat!' cried Flop. "You
don't need to do everything do.
Besides if get the brass ring mebbe
I'll keep it for keepsake and then
