we will have fried elephants for din
ner, and if you are a good doggie YOU
may have one.
Nancy and Nick kept very still.
Nobody could see them away down in
the deep wool on Snaps back. The
giant dog never dreamed for min
ute that the little boy and girl were
using him for a street-car. :,
Once when Nancy took an extra
tight hold of his wool so as to keep
from falling, Snap sat down and
started to scratch with his foot.
SIS it a flea you have, Snap?"
asked the jolly giant. Come on and
let the poor little flea alone"
Snap stopped just in time. for his.
great foot had about knocked the
last bit of breath out of both of the
Twins.

"Jlmlncezers!" exclaimed NICK.
81 hat was a close shave"
Everything went all right for a
lew minutes, and then suddenly
Snap spied rabbit. And before his
master could say a word, away went
the dog like shot out of a gun.
Nancy and Nick held on as well as
they could for a little while. but all
at once Snap leapcd a fence and thas
was the end of it!
Off went Nancy and off went Nick,
rolling over and oyer and over like
tenpins. They turned so MANY cart

Whatever this is we are on, it's blue

Suddenly Nick cried out, "Be care

Both Twins pecpcd and what do
you think they saw! A giant wo-
man milking giant COW! And they

sunbonnet! When Snap jumped over

that is where they had landed.
"My!" cried Nancy. at must be

struck piece Of starch on Mrs.
Giants sunbonnet brim and she
tripped. Away she went head over
heels right down into the pail Of
milk. Nick tried to save her but
down he went, too!
"Help! Help!" they screamed as
loudly as the could. But Mrs.
Giant never heard thing. She
would have gone on with her milk

spied something dark splashing
around in the milk pail
"There are two pesky flies!' she
said. 81 have to fish them QUIT"
and she broke off broad blade of
grass and stuck it in.
Both wins grabbed it and held

leaf away and went on with her
milking.

a bit Of sachet on the paper, for

And she signed her name with an
airy flourish.
But she made no mention of ner

beaten.
She sat at her pretty wicker
desk, moving dry pen back and
forth over the page. Her heart
was blazing.
For there had been. like a star
In her mind, the dream of great
achievement; vision of a new and
glorious Chickie climbing up to
some great height; pale, beautiful
person, with light about her
like she had seen in the faces of
those who serve.
She wanted this; had followed
the hope of It. In the hospital Il
became each day more nearly
hers.
Now it was gone. The world

Edward wrinkled his nose, with

way in old times! 'Tain't the way

and finally jumped with both feet
together. And that was the new,

give his individuality full play?
Should she let him contradict and
argue with her? When should
she curb ana when should she

She reverted from this to the
consideration of Lucy's luminous
good fortune, forgetting Chickie's
problem until Chickie's desire to
speak was gone. Then Mary
said: What was that we were

Mary walked home with her.

AS Mary walked along pushing

She was one world and Mary
