There are a few circumstances which seem to point that way. Take that new gray suit for instance. Now you know yourself, Lark, he didn't need a new gray suit, and when a man gets a brand-new suit for no apparent reason, you can generally put It down that he's wax­ ing romantic. Then there's hi* mother s'-'i:, --she's begun telling me all his good • t-fyS: points, and how cute he was when he * *3 was born, and she showed me one of his curls and a lot of his baby pictures-- it made Jim wild when he came in and j! caught her at it and she tells me how .

"Whenever he's alone IP with me he praises you every minute of the time." " "That's nothing. When he's alone with me he praises you all the time, too. Where's my hat, Lark?

Now what shall I dof "You left it in the barn yesterday-- don't you remember you hung it on the / - harness hook whe&. we went out for eggs, and--" "Oh, so I did. There comes Connie now." Carol thrust her head out of the window. "Connie, run out to the , . / barn and bring my hat, will you? It's on the harness hook. And hurry!

It was a had been financially hard pressed ever since she began using powder several years previous. "Are you fond of Jim, Carol?* Lark jumped away backward In the conver­ sation, asking the question gravely, her eyes upon her sister's face. "Hum! Yes, I am," was the light retort "Didn't Prudence teach us to love everybody?" ' « ^ "Don't be silly, X mean if he pro­ poses to you, are you going to turn him down, or not?" "What would you advise. Lark?" Carol's brows were painfully knitted. "He's got five hundred acres of land, worth at least a hundred an acre, and a lot of money In the bank--his mother didn't say. how much, but I imagine several thousand anyhow. And he has that nice big house, and an auto, and-- oh, everything nice! Think of the fruit trees, Larkie! And he's good- looking, too. And his mother says he is always good-natured even before breakfast, and that's very exceptional, you know! Very! I don't know that I could do much better, do you, auntie? I'm sure I'd look cute in a sunboimet and. apron, milking the cows! So, boss, so, there, now! So, boss!" "Why, Carol!" "But there are objections* too. They have pigs. I can't bear pigs! Pooooey, pooooey! The filthy little things! I don't know--Jim and the gray suit and the auto and the cows are very nice, but when I think of Jim and overalls and pigs and onions and freckles I have goose flesh. Here they come! Where's that other slipper? Oh, it's clear under the bed!" She wriggled after It coming out again breathless. "Did I rub the powder all off?" she asked, anxiously. The low honk of the car sounded outside, and the twins dumped a mis­ cellaneous assortment of toilet arti­ cles into the battered suit-case and the tattered hand bag. Carrol grabbed her hat from Connie, leisurely strolling through the hall with It and sent her flying after her gloves. "If you ain't find mine, bring your own," die called after her. Aunt Grace and Connie escorted them triumphantly down the walk to the waiting car where the young man in the new sentimental gray suit stood beside the open door. His face was boyishly eager, and his eyes were full of a satisfaction that had a sort of excitement in it, too. Aunt Grace looked at him and sighed. "Poor boy," she thought. "He is nice! Carol is a mean little thing!" He 8miled at the twins impartially. "Shall we flip a coin to see who I get in front?" he asked them, laughing. His mother leaned out from the back seat and smiled at the girls very cor­ dially. "Hurry, twinnies," she said, "we must start, or we'll be late for supper; Come in with me, won't you, Larkie?" "What a greasy schemer she Is," thought Carol, climbing into her place without delay. Jim placed the battered suitcase and the tattered bag beneath the seat and drew the rug over his mother's knees. Then he went to Lark's side, and tucked it carefully about her feet "It's awfully dusty," he said. "You shouldn't have dolled up so. Shall F put your purse in my pocket? Don't forget you promised to feed the chick­ ens--I'm counting on you to do it for me." Then he stepped in beside Carol, laughing into her bright face, and the good-bys rang back and forth as the car rolled away beneath the heavy arch of oak leaves that roofed In Maple avenue. The twins fairly reveled in the glo­ ries of the country through the golden days that followed, aud enjoyed every minute of every day, and begrudged the hours they spent in sleep. The time slipped by "like banana skins," declared Carol crossly, and refused to explain her comparison. And the last day of their visit came. Supper was over at seven o'clock and Lark said, with something of wistfulness in her voice, 'Tm going out to the orchard for a farewell weep all by myself. And don't any of you distpxto me--I'm so ugly when I cry." So she set out alone, and Jim, a little awkwardly, suggested that Carol take a turn or so up and down the lane with him. Mrs. Forrest stood at the window and watched them, tear­ ful-eyed, but with tenderness. • "My little boy," she said to herself, "my little boy. But sheHr a dear, sweet pretty girl." In the meantime, Jim was acquit­ ting himself badly. His face was pale. He was nervous, ill at ease. He stam­ mered when he spoke. Self-conscious- ness was not habitual to this young man of the Iowa farm. He was not an awkward, ignorant gangling farm­ hand we meet in books and see on stages. He had attended the high school in Mount Mark, and had been graduated from the state agricultural college with high honors. He was a farmer, as his futher had been before him, but he was a farmer of the new era, one of those men who takes plain farming and makes it a profession, almost a fine art. tJsually he was self- possessed, assertive, confident but. In the presence of this sparkling twin, for once be was abashed. Carol was In an ecstasy of delight She was not a man-eater, perhaps, hut she was early romance-mad. The callow youths of Mount Mark, of the Epworth league, and the col­ lege, were almost unanimous in lay­ ing their adoration at Carol's feet But Carol saw the elasticity, the buoyan­ cy, of loves like these, and she couldn't really count them. She felt that die Was ripe for a bit of solid experience How, and there was nothing callow about Jim--he was solid enough. And now, although she could see that his' feelings stirred, she felt nothing but itaiitflttt wd nirimllT A lifiiniiMil ' ' 1 •*"5 f good if OB the r, where and powdered -r- Itl just a good joke on me," she said, smiling, "but it's just as good a one on Mrs. Forrest X- think TO jo idhave a laugh at her.

There was something wonderful (a his eyes, and in Hie voice. Maybe Lark was right maybe It did hurt! Oh, she really shouldn't have been qulto so nice to himj "She is young--so am I--but I know what I want and If I can only have her, I'll do anything I--" His voice broke a little. He looked very hand­ some, very grown-up, very manly. Carol quivered. She wanted to run away and cry. She wanted to put her* arms arotihd him and tell him she was very, very'-sirry anil she: wouJd never do it again as long as she lived and breathed. "Of course," fie went on, "I am not a fool. I know there isn't a girl like her in tea thousand, but--she's the one I want, and--Carol, do you reckon there is any chance for me? You ought to know. Lark doesn't have secrets from yon? does she? Do you think she'll - have - ibe?"1 Certainly this was the surprise at Carol's life. If it was roqiance she wanted, here It was in plenty. She stopped short in the daisy-bright lane and stared at him. "Jim Forrest" she demanded, "to It Lark you want to marry, or me?" "Lark, of course !" Carel opened her lips and closed them. She did it again. Finally she spoke. "Well, of ail the idiots! If you want to marry Lark, what In the world are you out here proposing to me for?" "I'm not proposing to you," he ob­ jected. "I'm just telling you about it" "But what for? What's the object? Why don't you go and rave to her?" He smiled a little. "Well, I guess I thought telling you first was one way of breaking it to her gently." "I'm perfectly disgusted with yoa" Carol went on, "perfectly. Here I've been expecting you to propose to me all week, and--" ^'Propose to yoa! My stars!" "Don't interrupt me," Carol snapped. "Last night I lay awake for hours-- look at the rings beneath my eyes--" "I don't see 'em," he interrupted ^again, smiling more broadly. "Just thinking out a good flowery, rejection for you, and then you trot me out here and propose to Lark! Well, if that isn't nerve I" Jim laughed loudly at this. He was used to Carol, and enjoyed her little outbursts. "I cant think what on earth made you imagine I'd want to propose to you," he said, shaking his head as though appalled at the idea. Carol's eyes twinkled at that, but she did not permit him to see It. "Why shouldn't I think so? Didn't you get a new gray suit? And haven't I the best complexion in Mount Mark? Don't all the men want to propose to a complexion like mine?" He laughed again, then he sobered. "Do you think Lark will--" "I think Lark will turn you down." said Oarol promptly, "and I hope she' does. You aren't good enough for her. No one In the world la good enough for Lark except myself. If she should accept you--I don't think she will, but If Sh0 hES & manto] £*fld does--I'll give you iqy blessing, and come and live withtyou six months in the year, and Lara shall come and live with me the other six months, and you can run the farm and send us an allowance. But I don't think shell have you; I'll be disappointed in her if she does." Carol was silent a moment then. She was remembering many things- Lark's grave face that day in the par­ sonage when they had discussed the love of Jim, her unwonted gentleness and her quiet manners during this visit, and one night when Carol, sud­ denly awakening, had found her weep­ ing bitterly Into her pillow. Lark had said it was a headache, and was better now, and Carol had gone to sleep again, but she remembered now that Lark never had headaches! And she remembered how very often lately Lark had put her arms around her shoulders and looked searchingly into her face, and Lark was always wist­ ful, too, of late! She sighed. Yes, she caught en at last "had been pushed on to it" she thought angrily. She had been a wicked, blind, hateful little simpleton or she would have seen it long ago. But She said nothing of this to Jim. "You'd better run along then and switch your proposal over to her, or I'm likely to accept you on my own account, just for a joke. And be sure and tell her I'm good and sore that I didn't get a chance to use my flowery rejection. But Tm almost sure shell turn you dowa." , Then Carol stood in the path and watched Jim as he leaped lightly over fences and ran through the sweet meadow. She saw Lark spring to her feet and step out from the shade of an apple tree, and then Jim took her in his arms. After that Carol rushed into the house and up the Stairs. She flung herself on her knees beside the bed and buried her face in the white spread. "Lark," she whispered, ^Lark!" She clenched her hands, and her shoulders shook. "My little twin," she cried again, "my nice old Lark," . Then she got up and walked back and forth across the floor. Borne times she shook her fist Sometimes a little crooked hammock on the broad piazza where a hfoad shaft of light from the open door fell upon her. Cfurol stood besid^er, fattling brightly^ * "Mrs. Forrest" she sUd, *T know a perfectly delicious you?" The woman sat up, holding out her arms. Carol dropped on her knees beside her, smiling mischievously at the expression on her face. . - "Cnpid has been at work," she s&ld softly, "and your own son has faU«n a victim." Mrs. Focrest Sniffed slightly, but She looked lovingly at the fair, sweet face. "I am sure I cannot wonder,™ she an­ swered in a gentle voice. "Is it all settled?" - "I suppose so. At any rate he Is proposing to her la the orchard, and I am pretty sure she's going to accept him." . Mrs. Forrest's arms fell away ffeom Carol's shoulders. "Lark!" die ejacu­ lated. "Yes--didn't you know It?" Carol's voice was mildly and Innocently sur­ prised. "Lark!" Mrs. Forrest was plainly dumfounded. "I--I thought It was you!" "Me!" Carol was Intensely aston­ ished. "Me? Oh, dear Mrs. Forrest whatever in the world made yoa think that?". "Why--I dont know," she faltered weakly, "I just naturally supposed It was you. I asked him once where he left his heart, and he said, 'At the par­ sonage,' and so of course I thought it was you." Carol laughed gayly. "What a Joke," she cried. "But you are more fortu­ nate than you expected, for It is my precious old Larkie. But don't be too glad about It or you may hurt my feel­ ings." "Well, I am surprised, I confess, but I believe I like Lark as well as I do you, and of course Jim's the one to decide. People say Lark Is more sen­ sible than you are, but It takes a good bit of a man to get beyond a jCsce as pretty as yours, rm kind o* proud of Jim!" • • • • • • • After Fairy's wedding Carol natu­ rally felt lonely. They had been such constant companions that the parting was sorrowful for both. Carol's thought's* frequently dwelt on tlielf days of mischief In the old parsonage before Prudence was married, remem­ bering especially one April fool joke that was decidedly on the twins. .

If he hasn't the right ideas about money, he Ik not solid In character, observes a writer lit the American Magazine. A man may easily be happy, successful and highly re­ garded on $1,800 dollars or less a year; but, if he is, it is because he knows how to handle those $1,800, and real­ izes the power that Is In each of those $1,800, and keeps in sight the fact that it takes 100 cents or 20 nickels, or 10 dimes, to make each one of those $1,- 800. "On the other hand, a man may have an annual income of $80,000 and be neither successful nor happy nor' highly regarded. If this is true of him. it Is because he has not the right Ideas about money; "Here Is the thing that applies to ny experience and to every man's: Money is the symbol of worth and power, If your money is handled correctly. If you regard money as a constructive thing, something to be used beneficial­ ly for yourself, your family a»u your community, something with which to build up and produce improvements, you are on solid ground; nothing can shake you, nothing, outside of earth­ quakes and fires, can ruin you finan­ cially.
