Carol whirled around sharply, and
flushed, and swallowed hard. For Pru
dence was just behind her.
"I-I-I-" but she could get no fur
tier.
Upon occasion 'Prudence was quite
terrible. "So I heard," she said dryly,
but her eyes were hard. "Now run up
stairs and out to the, field, or to the
barn, and play. And, Carol, he sure
and remind me of that speech tonight.
I might forget it."
The girls ran quickty out, Carol well
in the lead.
"No wedding fee for me," she
mumbled bitterly. "Somphow I just
can't help repeating--'
"You don't want to," said Lark, not
without symnpathy. "You think It's
ouch funl, you know."
"Well, anyhow, I'm sure I won't get
any cake tonight. It seems to tie Pru
dence is very-harsh sometimes."
"You can appeal to father, if you
like."
"Not on your life," said Carol
promptly and emphatically ; "he's worse
th111an Prudence. Like as not he'd give
in a good thrashing into the bargain.
No-I'm strong for Prudence when it
cones to putishinent-in preference
to father, I mean. I can't seei to be
fontd of any kind of punishment from
aIybody."
For a while Carol was much de
pres"sed, bit by nature she was a luoy
tint soul, and her spirits were presently
xioarigg again.
In the meantime, file Ladies of the
Aid soclety cotinued to arrive. Pru
dence and Fairy, freshly gowned and
smillng-faced, received them with cor
diality and many merry words. It was
not (Hli(cult for them; they had been
reared in the hospitable nilnosphere of
Methodist parsonages, where, if you
have but two dishes of oatmeal, the
outsider is welcome to one. That is
Carol's description of parsonage life.
]tut Prudence wais concerned to o)
serve that a big easy chair placed well
back in i seelilded corner, seemed to
be giving dissatisfaction. It was Mr.
Adams who sat there first. She
silirmted quitte i little, and seemedl to
be grippling tile arias of the ebtar with
Stneicssatry fervor. Presently she

Sonic of the Ladles smiled. Others
lifted their brows and shoulders in a
mauidly suaggestive way, thiat 1'rullence,

"And wher'e Is thte chiaiir-bottomn

Carol was really-quite crushed, but
true to her parsonage training, she
struggled valiantly and presently
brought forth a crumpled and sickly
nile.
But Prudence smiled at her kindly.
'That wasn't very naughty, Carol," she
said frankly. "It's true that we sel

fully at Fairy. "It is strange that io

Then she apologized gently to the
Ladies, and the conversation went on
but Prudence was uncomfortably con

turned her way. Evidently they
thought she was too lenient.
"Well, it wasn't very naughty," she
thought wretchedly. "How can I pre

The meeting progressed, and the
business was presently disposed of
So far, things were not too seriousl3

sewing, and began industriously work
ing at many articles, designed for the
clothing of a lot of young Methodists
confined in an orphans' home in Chi
eago. And they talked together pleas
antly and gayly. And Prudence and
Fairy felt that the cloud was lifted.
But soon it settled again, dark and
lowering. Prudence heard Lark run

"Lark !" she called softly. Larli
stopped abruptly, and something fell
to the floor.
"Lark I"
Tihe Ladies smilled, and Miss Carr
laughing lightly, said, "She is an atten

Prudence would gladly have flown
out into the hall to settle this matter
but she realized that she was on exhl

would have set her dowin forever aftei

"Lark !" This was Prudence's mos

l1er voice was holpeful. But l'ru
dence replied with <agerous calm:
"Coie it (nie, Lark."
"All right, then," and added threat
eningly, "but you'll wish I hadn't."
Then Lark opened the door-a woe
