They ate coming!" they trooped tO
Miss Alice's window with a speed that
would have done credit to the parson
age girls themselves.
First came the iniister, whom they
knew very well by this time, and con
sidered quite respectable. Ile was
lively, as was to he expected of a
Methodist minister, und told jokes,
and laughed at theni! Now, a comical
rector-oh, a very different matter
it wasn't done, that's all I At any rate,
here came the Methodist minister,
laughing, and on one side of him
tripped a small, earnest-looking maid
en, clasping his hand, and gazing alter
nately up into his face and down at
the stylish cement sidewalk beneath
her feet. On the other side was Fairy.
The Misses Avery knew the girls by
name already-having talked much
with Prudence.
"Such a Fairy l" gasped Miss Milli
cent, and the others echoed the gasp
but wordlessly.
For Fairy was very nearly as tall
as her father, built upon generous
lines, rather cominanding in appear
ance, a little splendid-looking. Even
from their windows they could discern
something distinctly Junolike in this
sixteen-year-old girl, with the easy,
elastic stride that matched her fa
ther's, and the graceful head, well car
ried. A young goddess-named Fairy I
Behind them, laughing and chatter

came the twins with Prudence, each
with an arm around her waist. And
Prudence was a very little taller than
they. When they reached the fence
that bordered the parsonage, the scene
fori a moment resembled a miniature
riot. The smaller girls juitped and
exclailned, 1and claspe l tlir hands.
Fairy leaned o-er the fence. and
stared intently at this, their parsonage
ome. 'Then tle serious little girl

were concerned lest they themselves
should not do quite so well when their

But in less than a moment the ruin

ho, sail "Amen," Prudence was on her
feet aind 111if-way upstairs before the
others were fairly risen. Fairy stood
gazing iltently out of the window for
Ia Imoient, and then went out to the
barn to see if the horse was through
eating. Mr. Starr walked gravely and
soberly out the front door, and around
the house. lie ran into Fairy coming
out the kitchen door, and they glanced
quickly at each other.
"llurry, papa," she whispered; "you
can't hold in much longer I Neither

And together, choking with laugh
tvr, they hurried into the barn and
gave full vent to their feelings.
So it was that the twins and Connie
were alone for a while.
"You (lid a pretty good job, Connie,"
said Carol approvingly.
"Yes, I think I did nyself," was the
couillacent tanswer. "But I intended

ECONOMICAL
ECONOMY..
Careful Shoppers...
When they undertake to economize have two ob
jects in view-Quality and Price--and they never
rest until they find them, if not at one store, then
at another.
Quality at an exorbitant price is not economy.
Low prices without good quality is p o o r
economy.
ECONOMICAL ECONOMY consists of high
quality at reasonable prices.
We Have This Combination
We sell nothing but high class goods, and W(' hav'e
whittled down profits to a fine point. If ydY: tiv us
once you will find "ecooinical economy" and stay
with it.
Our Dry Goods, Notions, Suits, Cloaks, Shoes
and all other similaLavticles vhich we carry are
of the best quality that we can obtain; and we
do not hesitate to recommend them.
Practice economy By tr-ling with us.
