"Hystem" had not marred their c-ourl ship. Sarah came of u line of fo bears whose eery detail of life Iru been ordered by system. But to Peter she wns radlanl. ne.i! altogether bewitching, nnd brougK ijuito n dowry. Tho first two years, he being morr or less under tho spell of her beaul.c nnd pretty ways, did not penehe tin bunds tightening mound bis freedom She allowed him but one cup of ,-nf fee; his former limit nd biwi tbtee Her smile paved the way for carryln;. her system unflinchingly Into uli branches of home economics. In course of time twin boys blessei their union. Sallle hegnn at once to Introduci her system. Peter called her oin morning nt sir to tell her that tli boys were walling plteously. "That's good," said Sallle, with i lovely smile. "They must cry, Petoi nn hour a day for their lung-strengtb ening stunt." Sallle resumed her association wltl the Ladies' Aid society, was regul.it In her attendance, efficient nnd s.s tcmntic In nil her work outside nt well us in her home. When tho twins were three and r half years old. It happened that Tom kins, being nt home for a brief vnen tion, and Snllledue at an Importnn meeting nt the club, had been usslgnei tho care of his boys. Tomkins wns astounded at finding Davy und Dot covered with molnsscs The maid liming left them a moment they made quick work of upsettln the sticky fluid, each smearing the other. Bewildered, Incredulous Tomklm saw Snllle anxiously consulting lief wrist watch. She saw the hour ot her club meeting approaching. Wltl an amused survey of the submerged molusses-covered twins, she saw then, being treated to first aid by their fn. ther, tossed him a kiss, saying, "You'll sec Unit those boys will never again touch molasses. By-bye." Away she went, and was nn time discharging her duties at the club tc the Inst systematized detail. Am; poor Tomklns and the maid scraped cleaned and comforted as best tbej could the unhappy twins. At six o'clock every night the bojs were marched to their beds. Enrly In bnbyhood days they bar realized the Indomitable power ol their mother's system. So they grew J it- nue, iiku uicie soiuiers. u hit they were several years older, Mr Tomklns censed remonstrating wltl the author of the system. Her stereo tjped teply to some of the feeble pio tests had been: "Let the boys get Into mischief, nn the unpleasant results will tend them to nvold mischief." Tomklns gradually roused hlmselt to n high pitch of Indignation at the system seemingly too formidable fo home rule. It might do very well In business. So time wore on until did you evei hear of u boy who wns insensible t the lure of the circus? Sallle emphatically said "No" to their pleadings. She had a dressmnke nnd could not be nwny, Tomklns visited the prlvnte school where Davy nnd Dot were drowsll; uninterested In their work. He caller Miss Prim from the classroom and dp mnnded his boys. Remonstrating, Miss Prim snld "But Mrs. Tomkins' system " She was Interrupted by Tomklns "Hnng the sjstem! Excuse me, MI.si Prim; send the boys out here." In a few moments out came th" twins nnd he hurried them off to tin circus grounds. The twins certainly had a wonder ful day, unalloyed by the system. They were lnte getting home. The'i mother had eaten In solitary stnte nnd retired to her den to await the culprits. In stalked the heroic father, laugh tng almost naturally, two hungry tired sons Joined feebly In his mer riment. They consumed their meal In great enjoyment. 'Now," cried the victorious father "now, what shall we sny to ma?" The twins giggled. At that moment their mother walked In, majestic, jiale. "Peter Tomklns, do jou realize what a liberty you took this after noon, upsetting my system?" 'No," yelled Peter, "but let me tell you, Sarah Tomklns, I've ocr brown jour sjstem. What's more, hum: joui Bystcm 1" "Oh oh " walled, the crestfallen Saruhi "These boys are going to be boys, and not automatic boys. Look at theuf, Sallle.
