They whispered softly going through the upper hall. “T w in s! You must hurry!” This was Prudence at the bottom o f the stairs. And the twins set off quite hur riedly. Their first cull was at the meat m arket “ A pint o f oysters,” said Lark briefly. When he brought them to her, she smelled them suspiciously. Then Curol smelled. “ Have you got any rotten ones?” she demanded. “ No,” he answered, laughing. "W e don't keep that kind." The twins sighed and hurried next door to the grocer's. A nickel's worth o f pepper------ the strongest you have,” * This waa quickly settled—and the grave-faced twins betook themselves to the corner drug store. “ W e—we want something with a perfectly awful smell.” Lark explained soberly. ’ “ What kind o f a smell?” “ W e don't care what kind, but It must be like something rotten or dead. If you have It." “ What do you want It for?" “ W e want to put it in a robm to give It a horrible smell for an hour or so.” Lark winked at him solemnly.

W e are unworthy.” Then they went upstairs, but not to their own room at once. Instead they slipped noiselessly Into the front bed room, and a little later Chrol came out Into tbe ball and stood listening at the bead o f thé stairs, as though on guard. “ Be sure and leave quite a few stitches In, Lark,” she whispered once. “ W e want It to hang together until Babble gets here.” That was alL Presently Lark emerged, and their own door closed behind them. “ It's a good thing father has to go to the trustees’ meeting tonight.

Molded Rice. - To cook rice so that tbe grains will be whole and tender, wash It In cold water until water looks clear, then cook It rapidly in boiling water for 15 minutes, after which drain and place the covered saucepan on tbe back of the stove to steam until the grains crack open and are tender, which will be about 15 minutes longer.
