The twins accepted all of this gra
ciously, except that which referred to
confessing their sin to their neighbors.
That did hu rt! The twins were so su

bear to ruin their reputations. But
Prudence stood Arm, In spite of thetr

crept meekly In at the Avery's door to
make their peace.

“ Well, w e'll serve oyster stew then.
Now, w ill you twins run downtown
for the oysters?" asked Prudence
briskly.
“ W h o! Cs?” demanded Lark, Indig

Let Fairy go after the oysters 1"
“ Oh. yes, twtnnles. I think you'll go,
all right. Run along, and be quick.”
For a few seconds the twins gazed
at each other studiously.
Neither
spoke.
Without a word, they went
upstairs to prepare for their errand.
They whispered softly going through
the upper hall.
“ T w in s!
You must hurry I" This
was Prudence at the bottom o f the
stairs. And the iwlns set off quite hur
riedly.
Their first call was at the
meat market.
“ A pint o f oysters,’’ said Lark
briefly.
When he brought them to her, she
smelled them suspiciously. Then Carol
smelled.
“ Have you got any rotten ones?"
she demanded.
"N o,” he answered, laughing. “ We
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 was quickly settled— and the
grave-faced twins betook themselves
to the corner drug store.
"W e— we want something with a
perfectly awful smell," Lurk 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?”
“ We want to put It In a room to
give it a horrible smell for un hour
or so.” Lnrk winked nt him solemnly.
"It's n Joke," she further eluclduted.
“ I see.”
Ills eyes twinkled.
“I
think I enn fix you up." A moment

“ Just sprinkle this over the carpet

like thunder. It costs n quarter.”
Carol frowned.
“ I suppose we’ll

pretty expensive. I hate to have drug

Ho laughed aloud. “ I hate to have
you get a good licking tomorrow, too—
but you’ll get it Just the same, or I

When the twins arrived home Fairy
was Just cutting the candy she had
made.
"It's delicious," she said to
Prudence. “ H e ii s a nice dishful for
you and th i girls. Pitch In twins, und
help yourselves. It's very nice."
The twins waved her haughtily
away.
' No, thank you," they said.
“ W e couldn't eat that candy with ret*

Then they went upstairs, bnt not to
their own room at once. Instead they
slipped noiselessly Into the front bed
room, nnd n little later Carol came out
into the bull and stood listening at tha
head o f the stairs, as though on guard.
"B e sure and leave quite a few
stitches In, Lark," she whispered once,
“ W e wunt It to hang together until
Babble gets here.”
That was all.
Presently Lark
emerged, nud their own door closed
behind them.
"It's a good thing father has to go
