THE MEMBERS OF THE CONGREGATION FORGET THAT
THE PARSONAGE FOLKS NEED MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS,
SO LITTLE CONNIE TELLS BANKER SOME PLAIN TRUTHS
Mr. Starr, a widower Methodist minister, comes to Mount Mark,
la., to take charge of the congregation there. He has five charming
daughters, the eldest of whom, Prudence, age nineteen, keeps house
and mothers the family. Her younger sisters are Fairy, the twins
Carol and Lark, and Constance, the “baby.” The family’s coining stirs
the curiosity of the townspeople. After a few weeks the Starrs are
well settled. Prudence has her hands full with the mischievous young-
sters, but she loves them devotedly despite their outrageous pranks.
It is a joyous household, but the parsonage girls are embarrassed at
Christmas time because the congregation has failed to pay the pastor’s
salary. Little Connie needs clothing, and sadly disappointed, takes
matters into her own hands.

much. But she looked so—heartsick,

Connie certainly was heartsick. More
than that, she was a little disgusted.
She felt herself uroused to take action.
Things had gone too fur ! Go to church
in her father’s coat she could not ! She
walked sturdily down the street toward
the “city”—ironically so called. Her
face was stony, her hands were
clenched. But finally she brightened.
Her lugging steps quickened. She
skipped along quite cheerfully. She
turned westward us she reached the
corner of the square, und wulked along
that business street with shining eyes.
In front of the First National bunk she
paused, but lifter a few seconds she
passed by. On the opposite corner was
another bank. When she reached it,
she walked in without pausing, and the
massive door swung behind her.
The four older girls were at the
table when Connie came home. She
exhaled quiet satisfaction from every
pore. Prudence glanced at her once,
and then looked away again. "She has
reconciled herself,” she thought. Din
ner wus 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

"You needn’t finish the coat—I can't

“Will five dollars be enough?” in
quired Connie, and she placed a crisp
new bill beside her plate. The twins
gasped ! They gazed at Connie with
new respect. They were Just wishing
they could handle five-dollar bills so
recklessly.
"Will you loan me twenty dollars un

Fairy.
But Prudence asked, "Where did you
get tills 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 want
ed it?”
"Yes, I explained the whole situa-
tion."
“What did he say?"
“He said he knew Just how I felt,
because he knew he couldn't go to
church in his wife's coat.—No, I said
that myself, but he agreed with me. He
did not say very much, but ho looked
sympathetic. He said ho anticipated
great pleasure In seeing mo in my new

“Go on with your luncheon, twins,"
said Prudence sternly. “You’ll bo 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

Harold's bank.
Flushed and embar

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

"Yea, may 1? Maybe I cun reconcile

“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
