In front of the First National bank she paused, but after a few seconds she passed by. On the opposite corner was another bank. When she reached it, she walked in without pausing, and the massive door swung behind her. The four older girls were at the table when Connie came home. She exhaled quiet satisfaction from every pore. Prudence glanced at her once, and then looked away again. "She has reconciled herself," she thought. Din ner was half over before' Constance burst her bomb. "Are you going to be busy this after noon, Prudence?" she asked quietly. "We are going to sew a little," said Prudence. "Why?" "I wanted you to go downtown with Inc after school." "Well. perhaps I can do that. Fairy will be able to finish the coat alone." "You needn't finish the coat-I can't wear father's coat to church, 'ru delice. It's a--it's a-physical impos sibility." The twins laughed, Fairy smiled, but Prudence gazed at "the baby" with tender pity. "'tm so sorry, dearest, but we haven't tile money to buy one low." "Will five dollars be enough?" in quired Connie, and she placed a crisp new bill beside her plate. The twins gasped! They gazed at Connie with new respect. They were just wishing they could handle five-dollar bills so recklessly. "Will you loan 1me twenty dollars un til after Christmas, Connie?" queried Fairy. But Prudence asked, "Where did you get this snoney, Connie?" "I borrowed it-from the bank," Con tile replied with proper gravity. "I have two years to pay it back. Mr. lliro(l says they are proud to have my trade." Prudlence was silent for several long secons(s. Then she intuired in a low voice, "Did you tell hits why you want ed it?" "Yes, I explained tile whole situa lion." "Whait did he say?" "lie said he knew Just how I felt, because he knew lie couldn't go to church in his wife's coat.-No, I said that myself, but he agreed with te. lie (lid not say very much, but he looked symlpathetle. lie said he anticipated great pleaisure in seeing me in my new coat at church next Sunday." "Go on with your Iuncheon, twins," ,afl dPrudence sternly. "You'll be late (o school. We'll see about going down town when you get home tonight, Con nie.

"What in. tile world?' shte began, gazing out into the room, half-lighted by tile moonshine, ando seeing Carol and Lar'k shivering beside her bed(. ."Sh !

"WVe hoard him, plain as day. He steppedl into th~e closet, didn't he, Lark?7" "Hie certainly did(," agreed Lark. "Did you see hlim?" "No, we heanrd htim.

Ha clnosrd "You've been dreaming," said Fairy, lying down again. "We don't generally dream the same thing at the same minute," said Car~ol stormily. "I tell you lie's in there." "And you two great big girls came off and left poor little Connie in there alone with a burglar, did you? Well, you are nice ones, I must say." And Prudence leaped out of bed and started for the door, followed by Fairy, with the twins creeping fearfully along in the rear. "She was asleep," muttered Carol. "We didn't want to scare her," added Lark. Prudence was careful to turn the switch by the door, so that the room was in full light before she entered. The closet door was wide open. Con nie was soundly sleeping. There was no one else in the room. "You see?" said Prudence sternly. "I'll bet lie took our ruby rings," de clared Lark, and the twins an Fairy ran to the dresser to look. But a sickening realization had come home to Prudence. In the lower hall, under the staircase, was a small dark closet which they called the dungeon. The dungeon door was big and solid, and was equipped with a heavy catch lock. In this dungeon, Prudence kept the family silverware, and all the money she had on hand, as it could there be safely locked dway. But more often than not, Prudence forgot to lock it. Mr. Starr had gone to BurlingtonI that morning to attend special revival services for three (lays, and Prudence had fifty whole dollars in the house, an unwonted sum in that parsonage I And the dungeon was not locked. With out a word, she slipped softly out of the room, ran down the stairs, making never a sound in her bare feet, and saw, somewhat to her surprise, that the dungeon door was open. Quickly she flung it shut, pushed the tiny key that moved the "catch," and was rush iln up the stairs again with never a pause for breath. A strange sight met her eyes in the twiis' room. ''he twins themselves were in each other's arms, sobbing bit terly. Fairy was still looking hurried ly through the dresser drawers. "They are gone," wailed Carol, "our beautiful ruby rings that belonged to grilnmother." - "Nonsense," cried Prue with nervous anger, "you've left them in the bath room, or on the kitchen shelves. You're always leaving them somewhere over the place. Come on, and we'll search the house Just to convince you." "No, no," shrieked the twins. "Let's lock the door and get under the bed." The rings were really valuable. Their grandmother, their mother's mother, whom they had never seen, had (i viddl her "real jewelry" between her two daughters. And the mother of these parsonage girls, had, further di QUARTE As a Bas O4 to a talkini the Quartet to our store and Alcock in this w< T I l 7staio eT ro po '~;''..; Mideon4ele njAcc fro Rgoett i drec cmpri EdsnsR.Ceto ofterpro We antyo tohea te Qar 1' Imtain.uet ave e re y phto WewnFo t ore Qm a ded her portiolit makfiet realh through her own family of girls I "Our rings I Our rings I" the twins were wailing, and Connie, awakened by the noise, was crying beneath the covers of her bed. "Maybe we'd better phone for Mr. Allan," suggested Fairy. "The girls are so nervous they will be hysterical by the time we finish searching the house." "Well, let's do the upstairs then," said Prudence. "Ootyour slippers and kimonos, and we'll go into daddy's room." But inside the door of daddy's room, with the younger girls clinging to her, and Fairy looking odd and disturbed, Prudence stopped abruptly and stared about the room curiously. "Fairy, didn't father leave his watch hanging on that nail by' tl}e table? Seems to me I saw it there this morn ing. I remember thinking I would tense him for being forgetful." And the ,watch was not there. "I think it was Sunday he left it," answered Fairy in a low voice. "I re member seeing it on the nail, and think. tng he would need it-but I believe it was Sunday." Prudence looked unde!r the bed, and in the closet, but their father's room was empty: Should they go farther? For. a moment, the girls stood looking at one another questioningly. Then they heard a loud thud downstairs, as of someone pounding on a door. There was no longer any dottbt. Someone was in the house l Connie and the twins sereamed again and clung to Prudence frantically. And Fairy said, "I think we'd better lock the door and stay right here until morning, Prue." But Prudence faced them stubborn ly. "If you think I'm going to let any one steal that fifty dollars, you are mistaken. Fifty dollars does not come often enough for that, I can tell you." "It's probably stolen already," ob jected Fairy. "Well, if it is, we'll find out who did it, and have them arrested. I'm going down to telephone to the police. You girls must lock the door after me, and stay right here," The little ones screamed again, and Fairy .aid: "Don't be silly, Prue, if you go I'm going with you, of course. We'll leave the kiddies here and they can lock the door. They'll be perfectly safe in here." (Continued next week. ) )loschee's German Syrup.
