Nine withdrew her bead sod looked
miserably around tba sunshiny room.
"I don't ace wbnt I the matter with

happiest girl In the worjd Just fancy!"
Captain Iod Mason and hi two
partner. Muq Oswald and Jack NU k
arson, had !een riding around tbe
range taking count of tb flocks of
turkey. It waa tb shipping season,
and soon the handsome bronze bird
would be con-ailed and protestlngly ex
ecuted and bnatled Into tb cold stor
age cars that even now awaited tbelr
coming on tbe spur track at Pen to.
"My appetite tell me If nearlng
dinner time, boy." said tb captain
genially as tbey concluded their con
ference. "If yon can manage to get
that last flock of gobblers out of that
roost la the cotton woods I'll telephone
down to Pento for tb gang to com

"111 be along presently." remarked
Linn gloomily. "Oues I'll take an
other look at those chap in tb Cot

"Sam here," added Jack Nlckerson
laconically, and together In moody sl
lenc tbey watcbed tb captain's ro
tund figure riding easily across tb
range, bl bora gracefully rising over
very split rail fenca that Impeded hi
progress.
"Fin old boy," said Linn, with a
heavy sigh.
"Best ever I ay. Llnn" Jack'
vole bad lost Its customary tone of
assurance. II spoke almost shyly.
; "Fir ahead," encouraged Linn reck

blurted Jack suddenly.
"Then yon ought to b tb happiest

ly aa ha bald out bis hand.
"Happier than tb man who marries

Trtw told ywr Una stared at
"Told ma whatr

to ride down to tbe cot ton woods T"
Tbey turned their horses and trotted
slowly acroHs tb -crisp pastur laud
It was a frosty November day. and
tb tang of approaching winter waa In
tbe air. '
When they drew near tbe cotton
wood they heard tb raucous grunt
blinga of tb mammoth gobblers that
were the prld of the ranch. By
mutual assent Llnn rod around to
tb south aide of tb little thicket
whi! Jack protected tb eastern way
of eacap.
With a load yell and a thunder of
hoof Llnn raced through tb thicket,
driving tb wandering birds before
him. It would have worked all rtsht
only tba biggest gobbler of all and tbe
leader of tb flock lifted his huge
spread of wings and flew up into the
lower branches of the nearest tree.
and soon he was followed by tb en
tlr flock of fifty . whoa bulk darkened
th sparsely clothed trees and bung, a
menacing fore, over th Irate driver's
head.
"Let "em stay, then," said Llnn cross
ly. We can get 'em after dinner.
What do yon say?"
"Snlta me." aald Jack, and together
they rod silently back to th farm
house, wher Nine and Ten were
superintending tb placing of the din
ner on th table.
Nine waa very pale, and ber eye
were bright and sparkling, alwaya a
aign that things were going .wrong
with her. Ten'a eyea looked aa If ahe
had been crying. It waa a silent meal;
there waa universal embarrassment
and even Captain Dod, absorbed In his
dinner, noted th alienee. 1
"What's tb matter?" be called bluff
ly. "Everybody' In th doldrums?
Next time yon folks ride ten mile to
a moving picture show at Pento you
better see something tolanch at?
Didn't anything funny happen last
night?
"Well, what'a tb nwr be went
. saraouicaiiy. Anything rone
wrong? I've been approached by two
young men and two young womea thta
morning, and they've broke tbe news
to me that they're all engaged to
marry each other. I took It calmly.
for there Isn't a better pair of yonng
chaps In the world than my two part
nersnot a word, boys and If I've
got to giv them twins away I'd rath
er giv them to yon two. but" n
glared around at tbem one more and
continued: "Somebody bad made a
mistake, and till It's found out I with
draw my consent and I declare every
on of you disengaged! Understand T
Without waiting for a reply Captain
Dod arose with dignity, and, grasping
his plat of pudding In on band and
th pitcher of maple sirup In tb other,
be retired to th little room that served
him a an office.
Sllenc still reigned at th table, bnt
It was a relieved alienee. Suddenlv
Llnn excused himself and departed.
Jack followed suit and tber remained
no on but th twlna staring deject
edly Into their puddings.
All at once Nine spoke resentfully:
"I think you've treated Jack horridly.
Ten Mason, ao there! He's tb bet
fellow In the wor!d and you can't ap
preciate him."
Ten lifted ber drooping bead and
faced her slater. "Hnmpb!" she flared
ecornfully. "Jack Nlckerson can't be
compared with IJnn Oswald."
The twins arose and stared at each
other across tb table, then all at once
they ran. around and fell Into each
other's arms with little startled cries
of understanding.
Out on the range Llnn and Jack
were riding back to the cotton wood
clump. In tbelr hand were long raw-
hid whips. Both were whistling mer
rily, and. while tbelr eyes were evasive,
each one seemed conscious of the
other's rising spirits. Suddenly Jack
became sunk in gloom. He spoke
raaplngly:
"Tour hilarity over your release Is
not very complimentary to Nine."
Neither la your's complimentary to
Ten." flared Llnn.
A half hour later Nine and Ten
walked demurely across the ranges.

message to his partners.
When tbe twin reached the south

charged upon them a furlon flock of
bronze gobblers, bead down and
heavy wine beating the i-round. Close
behind them raced Jai-k and Llnn.
their eyes tenderly anxlnux of the nt
prom hlng twins, tbelr mouth hard set
with determlnntlon. The twin hnd
played their laxt prank. They must be
made to publicly u knowledKe their

For an Instant tbe girls were rooted
to tb ground In terror. Forgotten
were their father Instruction of how
to circumvent th angry turkey when
the succulent but tery bird went on

AH at one Nine' feet found wing,
and shedarted to th right and toward

"Jack. Jack!" cried Nln.
"Llnn, Llnn!" screamed Ten. . '
