ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

On went the Twins through the
hallway of the palace toward the
throne room where sat their maies-
ties, the giant king and queen Of
Beanstak Land
Everywhere the Twins went in
their enormous seven league boots,
the same thing happened-servants
and courtiers and ladies-in-waitinp
fled in dismay at their approach.
Because the Twins were not to be
seen at all and the boots appeared
to be walking by themselves.
The cook fled, the pages fled, and
the court jester fled, all of his bells,
Jlngling like Santa's reindeer on
Christmas Eve.
What is the matter with every-
body? shouted the giant king an
grily. Has everybody gone crazy?
come back here, every one of YOU.
and get to your places at once!"
just then he spied the empty boots
approaching Cor at least he thought
they were empty and his knees be-
gan to shake, and he shivered all
over until his tall crown threatened
to roll off his head. And the queen
dld the same, shivered and shook,
until her crown nearly fell off, too.
They would have run away as we'll
as the others, but how could they
with long robes and trains and a
few other things that would have
trlpped circus actor in two seconds.
Stop! What do you want?" cried
the king shakily.
Lots Of things!" called out Nick
as loudly as he could. Of coufse the
king thought it was the boot talk
ing,
If you will only stop where you
are, begged the king, Il will give
You whatever you ask"
SO shall II" declared the queen.
Then shouted Nick, take off
your crowns and make the Twins
king and queen Of Beanstalk Land.
Who?' asked the surprised king.

swered the boot, Aean, answered
Nicks voice oVt' of the boot.
1T shall be done at once" de-
clared the king taking off his crown
and laying it down.
Anything you say, good boot!
said the queen taking off her crown,
too.
Now, them said Nick's voice
again, since you have not been a
kind king or queen to the giants in
Beanstalk Land, you must obey
every command of the new king
and queen"
Yes, yes, yes!' agreed the king
and queen quickly. We will do
anything at all. Where are these
pcople?" L.
Right herei" shouted Nick, and
quick as two little squirrels, Nancy
and Nick scrambled out of the seven
league boots and hoped up on the
throne and sat down.
The real king and queen were too
much astonished to speak, for never
in their lives had they seen such tiny
creatures.
Put the boots away. please" said
King Nick.
Certainly, sir!' answered the
Beanstalk King. Anything else,
SIR
Yes, put in Nancy. Bring me
a chocolate ice cream soda, with two
straws."
certainly, a'am!' said the Bean
talk Queen, and she hurried away
to the kitchen./
1t was great fun to be king and
queen OF such a big country.

Prescott got much more than he
deserved when he was given the
love Of Leslie Hamilton and she be-
came his wife.
m rather sorry you are going to
Albany. Although, like every other
two people who think they have
been able to- keep their affairs from
the world, you must know that your
affair with Jack before his marriage
to Leslie was common talk among
the. men about town, as we'll as
among the young society matrons
whose husbands had confided in
them the more or less true details.
All these .old stories will be re-
vived. All the old scandal will get
fresh start. If Jack and Leslie go
together to see your picture when
you make your personal appear
ance, everybody will say Jack is
trying to bluff it out. If either of
them 60 alone, the people will say
Jack was afraid to take Leslie to
see the picture. If neither Of them
go near you, someone is sure to
hazard the opinion that jack and
Leslie have quarreled over you and
neither dare 60. You can under no
circumstance stop the gossip you
have started.
shall be much interested to know
the outcome of it all. Above all else
l hope and pray nothing will be said
or done to hurt Jacks wife, Leslie.
She has not only been sweet and
kind to your child, Paula, but she
has been perfectly innocent in the
matter.
