THE MEMBERS OF THE CONGREGATION FORGET THAT
THE PARSONAGE FOLKS NEED MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS,
SO LITTLE CONNIE TELLS BANKER SOME PLAIN TRUTHS
Mr. Stnrr, a widower Methodist minister, conies to Mount Murk,
In., to take chaw of the congregation there, lie htm live charming
daughters, the eldest of whom, Prudence, ago nineteen, keeps house,
and mothers tho family. Her younger ulsters tire Fnlry. the twin
Carol tuul Lark, mid Constance, the "baby." Tho family's coining stir
the curiosity of the townspeople. After a few weeks the Starrs nro
well settled. Prudence has her lunula full with the mischievous young
sters, but she loves them devotedly despite their outrageous pranks.
It ls'a Joyous household, but tho parsonage girls are embarrassed at
Christians time because the congregation has failed to pay tho pastor's
salary. Little Connie needs clothing, and sadly disappointed, takes
matters Into her own hands.
CHAPTER VI Continued.
"Oh, I hud her dressed warmly un
derneath, very warmly Indeed," de
clared rrudenee. "Hut no matter how
warm you are underneath, you look
cold If you aren't visibly prepared for
winter weather. I kept hoping enough
money would come In to buy her a
coat for once In her life."
"She has been looking forward to
one long enough." put In Fulry. "This
will be a bitter blow to her. And yet
It Is not such a bad-looking cont, after
all." And she quickly ran up a seum
on the machine.
"Here comes Counle!" Prudence
hastily swept a pile of scraps out of
sight, and turned to greet her little
sister with a cheery smile.
"Come on In, Connie," she cried,
with a brightness she did not feel.
"Fairy and I are making you a new
coat. Isn't It pretty? And so warm !
See the nice velvet collar and cuffs.
We want to fit It on you right away,
dear."
Connie picked up a piece of the
goods and examined It Intently.
"Don't you want some fudge, Con
nie?" exclaimed Fairy, shoving the
dish toward her hurriedly.
Connie took a piece from the plate,
and thrust it between her teeth. Her
eyes were still fastened upon the brown
furry cloth.
"Where did you get this stuff?" she
Inquired, as soon as she was able to
speak.
"Out of the trunk In the garret, Con
nie. Don't you want some more fudge?
I put a lot of nuts In, especially on
your account."
"It's good," said Connie, taking an
other piece. She examined the cloth
very closely. "Say, Prudence, Isn't this
thut old brown coat of father's?"
Fairy shoved her chair back from the
machine, and ran to the window.
"Look, Prue," she cried. "Isn't that
Mrs. Adams coming this way? I won
der" "No, It Isn't," answered Connie
gravely. "It's Just Miss Avery getting
home from school. Isn't It, Prudence?
Father's coat, I mean?"
"Yes, Connie, It Is," said Prudence,
very, very gently. "But no one here
has seen It, and It Is such nice cloth
Just exactly what girls are wearing
now."
"But I wanted a new coat !" Connie
did not cry. She stood looking ot Pru
dence with her wide hurt eyes.
"Oh, Connie, I'm Just as sorry as
you are," cried Prudence, with starting
tears. "I know just how you feel about
It dearest! But the people didn't pay
father up last month. Maybe after
Christmas we can get you a coat. They
pay up better then."
"I think I'd rather wear my summer
coat until then," said Connie soberly.
"Oh, but you can't, dearest. It Is too
cold. Won't you be a good girl now,
and not make sister feel badly about
it? It really Is becoming 'to you, and It
Is nice and wam. Take some more
fudge, dear, uhd run out-of-doors a
while. You'll feel better about It pres
ently, I'm surf."
Connie stood solemnly beside the
table, her yes still fastened on the
coat, cut down from her father's. "Can
I go and take a walk?" she asked
finally. ''
"May I, 'you mean," suggested Fairy.
"Yes, may 1? Maybe I can reconcile
myself to it"
"Yes, go and take a walk," urged
Prudence promptly, eager to get the
small sober face beyond her range of
vision.
"If I am not back when the twins
get home, go right on and eat without
me. I'll come back when I get things
straightened out In my mind."
When Connie was quite beyond hear
ing, Prudence dropped her head on the
table and wept. "Oh, Fairy, if the mem
bers Just knew how such things hurt,
maybe they'd pay up a little better!
How do they expect parsonage people
to keep up appearances when they
haven't any money?'"
"Oh, now, Prue, you're worse than
Connie I There's no use to cry about
it. Parsonage people have to find hap
piness in spite or nnanclal misery.
Money Isn't the first thing with folks
like us."
"Poor little Connie! If she haa
HUES1DNI
Uobbi - Merrlll Company.)
cried about It, I wouldn't have cared so
much. Hut she looked bo heartsick,
didn't she, Fulry?"
Connie certainly was heartsick. Mora
than that, she was n little disgusted.
She felt herself aroused to take action.
Things had gono too far I Oo to church
In her father's cont she could not ! She
walked sturdily down the street toward
the "city" Ironically so cnlled. Her
face wus stony, her hands were
clenched. But finally she brightened
Her lugging steps quickened. She
skipped along quite cheerfully. She
turned westward as she reached the
corner of the square, and wulked along
that business street with shining eyes.
In front of the First National bunk she
paused, but after n few seconds she
passed by. On the opposite corner was
another bank. When she. reached It,
she wulked In without pausing, and tho
massive door swung behind ber.
The four older girls were at the
table when Counle came home. She
exhaled quiet satisfaction from every
pore. Prudence glanced at her once,
aud then looked away again. "She litis
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
me 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, Pru
dence. It's a It's a physical Impos
sibility." The twins laughed, Fairy smiled, but
Prudence gazed at "the baby" with
tender pity.
"I'm so sorry, dearest, but we haven't
the money to buy one now."
"Will Ave dollars be enough?" In
quired Connie, and she placed a crisp
new bill beside her plute. The twins
gasped I They guzed at Conule with
new respect. They were Just wishing
they could handle five-dollar bills so
recklessly.
"Will you loan me twenty dollars un
til after Christmas, Connie?" queried
Fairy.
But Prudence asked, "Where did you
get this money, Connie?"
"I borrowed it from the bank," Con
nie replied with proper gravity. "I
have two years to pay It back. Mr.
Harold says they are proud to have my
trade."
Prudence was silent for several long
seconds. Then she Inquired In a low
voice, "Did you tell him why you wunt
ed it?"
"Yes, I cxplulned the whole situa
tion." "What did he sny?"
"He said he knew Just how I felt,
because he knew he couldn't go to
church In his wife's cout. No, I suld
that myself, but he agreed with me. He
did not say very much, but he looked
sympathetic. lie said he anticipated
great pleusure In seeing me In my new
coat at church next Sunday."
"Go on with your luncheon, twins,"
said Prudence sternly. "You'll be late
to school. We'll see about going down
town when you get home tonight, Con
nie. Now, eat your luncheon, and
don't talk about coats any more,"
When Connie had gone back to
school, Prudence went straight to Mr.
Harold's bank. Flushed uud embar
rassed, she explained the situation
frankly. "My sympathies are all with
Connie," she said candidly. "But I am
afraid father would not like it. We are
dead set against borrowing. After
our mother was taken, we were crowd
ed pretty close for money. So we had
to go In debt. It took us two years to
get it paid. Father and Fairy and I
talked it over then, and decided we
would starve rather than borrow ugala.
Even the twins understood It, but Con
nie was too little. She doesn't know
how heartbreaking It Is to keep hand
ing over every cent for debt, when one
Is Just yearning for other things. I do
wish she might have tho cont, but I'm
afraid father would not like it. She
gave me the five dollars for safekeep
ing, and I hnve brought It back."
Mr. Harold shook his head. "No,
Connie must have her coat. This will
be a good lesson for her. It will teach

that she Is right thla time. This la

added, "And 1 11 look lifter tt,l. salary

CHAPTER VII.
A Burglar's Visit.
True!"
A small hand gripped Prudence's
shoulder, and again camo a hoursclj
whispered:
"Prue I"
Prudence sat up In bed with a
bounce.
"What In tho world?" she began,
gazing out Into the room, half-lighted
by tho moonshine, and seeing Carol and
Lurk shivering beside her bed.
"Shi Shi Hush !" whispered Lark.
"There's A burglar In our room I"
Ily this time, even sound-aloeplng
Fnlry was awake. "Oh, there Is I" she
scoffed.
"Yos, there Is," declared Carol with
somo heat. "Wo heard him, plain ns
day. lie stepped Into the closet, dldu't

"He certainly did," agreed Lark.
"Did you see him?"
"No. wo heard hi in. Carol heard
him first, and bIio spoke, and nudged
me. Then I heurd him, too. He was
at our dresser, but he shot across tho
room and Into tho closet, llo closed
tho door after him. lie's there now."
"You've been drennilng," said Fairy,
lying down aguln.
"We don't generally dream tho same
thing at tho siinio minute," said Carol
stornilly. "I tell you he's In there."
"And you two great big glrla cams

alone with a burglar, did you? WelL
you are nice ones, I must sny."
And Prudence leaped out of bed and
started for the door, followed by Fairy,
with the twins creeping fearfully alons
In tho rear.
"She was asleep," muttered Carol.
"We didn't want to scare her." added
Lark.
Prudence wns careful to turn tha
switch by tho door, so that tho room
wns in full llKht before she enlernrl.
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 he took our mhv rlnim" fa
