PRUDENCE of the PARS OM AGE ! mmbtohii3 THE TWINS TRY TO EM BARRASS FAIRY WITH SOME PRACTICAL JOK ING WHEN HER BEAU COMES TO VISIT HER. CHAPTER V Continued. As soon ns they finished supper Lark said, "Don't you think we'd better go right to bed, True? Wo don't want to taint tho atmosphere of tho par sonage. Of course Fairy will want to wash tho dishes herself to make suro they urc clean and shining." "Oh, no," disclaimed Fulry, good naturedly. "I can give an extra rub to tho ones wo want to use that is enough. I do appreciate tho thought, though, tlianks very much." So tho twins plunged In, carefully keeping Connie beside them. Connie had a dismal propensity for discov eries tho twins hud often suffered from it. Then they nil three went to bed. To be suro it was ridiculously early, but they wcro all determined. "You keep your eyes open, Fairy," Prudence whispered melodramatically. "Thoso girls do not look right." And she added anxiously. "Oh, 111 bo so disappointed if tilings go badly." Fairy was a little late getting up stairs to dress, but she took time to drop Into her sisters' room. They were all in bed, breathing heavily. She walked from one to another, and stood nbovo them majestically. "Asleep I" she cried. "Ah, fortune is kind. They nro asleep. Ilow I lovo these darling little twlnnles In their sleep I" An audible sniff from beneath the covers, and Fairy, nmlling mischievous ly, went Into tho front room to prepare for her caller. The hell rang ns sho was dressing. Prudence went to the door, pretermit urally ceremonious, and ushered Mr. Babler Into tho front room. She did not observe that tho young inun sniffed in a peculiar manner ns ho entered the room. "I'll call Fairy," sho said demurely. "Toll her sho needn't primp for me," ho answered, lawghlng. "I know Just how sho looks already." But Prudcnco wns too heavily bur dened to laugh. Sho smiled hospi tably, and closed the door upon him. Fulry was tripping down tho stairs, very tall, very handsome, very gay. Sho pinched her sister's arm as she passed, and tho front room door swung behind. But sho did not greet her friend. Sho stood erect by the door, her head lilted on one side, Eiillllng, snllllng. "What in tho world?" sho wondered. Eugono Babler was strangely quiet. He looked about tho room In u pe culiar, questioning way. "Shall I ralso n window?" he sug gested finally. "It's rather er hot in here " "Yes, do," she urged. "liaise all of them. It's do you do you notice a a funny smell in hero? Or am I Imag ining It? It It almost mukes mo sick I" "Yes, there Is a smell," ho said, in evident relief. "I thought miiyho you'd been cleaning tho carpet with something. It's ghastly. Can't wo go bomewhero elso?" "Conio on." Sho opened the door Into tho sitting room. "We're coming out hero If you do not mind, l'rue." And Fairy explained the dllllculty. "Why, that's very strange," snid Prudence, knitting her brows. "1 was In there right after supper, and 1 didn't notlco anything. What does It smell like?" "It's a new smell to me," laughed Fairy, "hut something about It Is Btrnngely suggestive of our angel twins." I Prudcnco went to investigate, and Fairy shoved a big chair near tho table, waving her hand toward it Ught- ly with a smile at Babble. Then sho I sank Into a low rocker, and leaned 1 one arm on the table. Sho wrinkled her forehead thoughtfully. "That smell," she begun. "1 am I very suspicious about it. It was not at nil natural " i "Excuse me. Fairy," be said, 111 at ease for tho ilrst time In her knowl edge of him. "Did you know your sleeve was coming out?" Fairy gasped and raUd her arm. "Both urms, nppurcntU," ho con tinued, smiling, but bis face was (lushed. "Excuso mo Just a minute, will you?" Fairy was unrutllcd. She sought her sister. "Look here, Prut what do you uiuko of this? I'm coming to pieces 1 I'm hanging by u single thread, is It were." Iler slcaves wero undoubtedly ready to drop off at n second's notice I Pru denco was Knocked. Sho grew posi tively whltw n the face. (Dobbn-Merrill, Copyright, 1910) Mr. Starr Is a widower Methodist minister with five charming daughters. Prudence, the eldest Is nineteen. She keeps house. Fairy, aged seventeen, Is a college freshman. Carol and Lark, twins, are in high school, and Constance Is in the grades. Mr. Stark Is assigned to the congregation at Mount Mark, la., and the advent and establishment of his interesting family In the parson ago there Btlrs the curiosity of the whole town. The story concerns the affairs of the parsonage girls. Prudence has her hands full with the mis chievous twins and Connie. Fairy has just announced that her beau is coming to spend the evening. The twins decide to have some fun, and havo made their plans accordingly. "Oh, Fairy.", she walled. "Wo aro disgraced." "Not a bit of it," snid Fnlry coolly. "I remember now that Lark was look ing for tho scissors beforo supper. Aren't thoso twins unique? Tills is almost bordering on tnlcnt, isn't It? Don't look so distressed, Pruo. Eti quette itself must bo subservient to twins, It seems, Don't forget to bring In tho sto- at a quarter past nine, and havo it as good as possible please, dear." "I will," vowed Prudence, 'Til I'll use cream. Oil, thoso horrlblo twins 1" "Go in and entertain Babble till I como down, won't you?" And Fairy ran lightly up tho stairs, humming a snntch of song. But Prudcnco did a poor Job of en tertaining Babble during her sister's absence. She felt really dizzy! Such a way to introduce Etiquette into the parsonage life. She wiu glad to make her escape from the room when Fnlry returned, a graceful flguic in fine blue silk 1 A llttls nftcr nine she called out dismally, "Fnlry 1" And Fnlry, fearing fresh disaster, enmo running out. "What now? What " "I forget what you told mo to say," whispered Prudcnco wretchedly, "whnt was it? Tho soup Is ready, and piping hot but what is it you wunt mo to sny?" Fairy screamed with lnughter. "You goose!" sho cried. "Soy anything you like. It doesn't niako any difference what you say." , "Oh, I am determined to do my part Just right," vowed Prudence fervent ly, "according to etiquette and all. What wus It you said?" Fairy stifled her laughter with dllll culty, and said In a low voice, "Yes, There Is a Smell," Ho Said. "Wouldn't yon like n nice, hot oyster stew?" Prudence repeated It after her breathlessly. So Fairy returned onco more, and soon after Prudcnco tapped on the door. Then she opened It, and thrust her curly head Inside. "Wouldn't you liko n little nice, hot oyster stew?" sho chirped methodically. And Fairy said, "Oh, yes, indeed, Prudence-this Is so nlco of you." Tho three gathered sociably nbout tho table. Babble was 11 rM to tusto the steaming stew, lie gasped, iind gulped, and swallowed 'some water with more hasto than grace. Then he toyed Idly with spoon and wafer until Prudence tasted also. Prudcnco did not gasp. She did not cry out. Sho looked up ut her sister with wide eyes a world of pathos in the glance. But Fairy did not notice. "Now, pfenso do not ask mo to talk until 1 have finished my soup," she was saying brightly. Then sho tabled It! Sho dropped her spoon with a jjrent clatter, and Jumped up from tho table. "Mercy I" she shrieked. "It Is poisoned 1" Babble leaned back in his chair and laughed untl. his eyes wero wet. Pru denco's eyes were wet, too, but not from laughter I What would ctlquetto think of her, after tills? "What did you do to this soup, Pru dence?" demanded Fnlry. "1 made It nothing else," faltered poor Prudence, quite crushed by tlds blow. And oysters forty cents n pint "It's pepper, I think," gasped Bab- Lsa3KJ v-jfeVw. ip nf iiTnO"N y""s fsPHM n J I s - -Sj mmi r fl WIhkIB LMl K 1toJES v By ethel hueston ble. "My lnsldes bear startling testi mony to tho presence of pepper." And lie roared again, while Prudence began a critical examination of tho oysters. Sho found then literally stuffed with pepper; thcr was no doubt of it. The twins had done dead ly work 1 "Kevcnge, ye gods, how sweet," chanted Fairy. "The twins arc get ting oven with a vengeance the snrao twins you sjuld were adorable, Babble." It niust be said for Fairy that her good nature could stand almost any thing. Even this did not seriously disturb her. "Do yoa supposo you can find us some milk, l'rue? And crack ers I I'm eo fond of crackera and mlik, aren't you, Bnbble?" "Oh, I adore it. But serve a micro scope with it, please. I want to ex amine it for microbes beforo I taste." But Prudcnco did better than that Sho made some delicious cocon, and opened a can of pear preserves, donat ed to the parsonage by the amiable Mrs. Adams. The twins were very fond of penr preserves, and had been looking forward to eating these on their approaching birthday. They wero doomed to disappointment! Tho threo had a merry little feast, after all, and their lnughter rang out so often and so unrestrainedly thnt tho twins shook In their beds with rage and disappointment. It speaks well for the courage of Babble, and tho attractions of Fairy, that he came to the parsonngo again and again. In time ho became Urn best of friends with tho twins them selves, but he always called them "the ndorubles," and they never asked him why. The punishment Indicted upon them by Prudence rankled In their memories for many months. "The offense wns against Fairy," said Prudence, with a solemnity she did not feel, "and the reparation must be done to her. For three weeks you must do all of her bedroom work, and run every errand she requires. More over, you must keep her shoes well cleaned and nicely polished, and must do every bit of her darning!" The twins would hnve preferred whipping a thousand tliups. They felt they had got a whipping's worth of pleasure out of their mischief! But a punishment like this sat heavily upon their-proud young shoulders, and from that time on they held Fairy practi cally Immune from their pranks. Prudence did not bother her head about etiquette after that experience. "I'm strong for comfort," she declared, "and since the two cannot live together In one futility, I say we do without eti quette." And Fnlry nodded in agreement, smiling good-naturedly. CHAPTER VI. Practicing Economy. It was a dull day early In Decem ber. Prudence ami Fairy were sew ing In the bay window of the sitting room. "Wo must be sure to have all tho scraps out of the way before Connie gets home," said l'rudence, carefully lifting together pleees of a dark, warm, furry material. "It has been so long since father wore- this coat, 1 am suru she will not recognize It." "But sho will usk where we got it, and what shall we say?" "Wo must tell her it Is goods we hnvo had In tho house for a long time. That Is true. And I made this fudge on pur pose to distract her attention. Poor child!" she added very sympatheti cally. "Iler heart Is Just set on a brand new coat. I l:now sho will ho bitterly disappointed. If tho members would Just pay up we could get her one. No vember and December are such had months for parsonage people. Every ono Is getting ready for Christmas now, and forgets that parsonngo peoplo need Christmas money, too." Fnlry took a pin from her mouth. "I have honestly been ashamed of Connlo the Inst few Sundays. It was so cold, and she woro only thnt llttlo thin sum mer jacket. She must have been half frozen."

Ever since tho discovery of Scheele in 1775 that urio acid was found within tho body most eminent physicians agree that rheumatism is caused by it; also many distressing symptoms as head ache, pain in back, stomach distress, swollen feet and ankles, gout, etc. It was Dr. Pierce of tho Invalids' Ilotcl, Buffalo, N.Y., who discovered a new agent called Anuric, a harmless remedy that if taken before meals will carry off tho urio acid from the system and in this way the pains and aches, tho creaky joints and nil tho distressing symptoms of rheumatism and other maladies dis appear. You can easily prove this your self, by obtaining Anuric at almost any drug storo, or send Dr. Pierce 10c. for trial package.
