ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS Ce By Olive Roberts Barton Little Georgie Porgie Pee Wee was lost. He was lost that not a shoe | button of him was left. His daddy felt dreadfut, his aunts and uncles felt worst still, and his momsy felt worst of all. They looked everywhere, then they. sent word to Snockums, the wise little Kng of Pee Wee Land, and Snookums sent word to the ‘Twins, ‘ “You'll have to find Georgie Por- gie at once,” he said when N and Nick came hurrying in their magic shoes and bumped their heads three times against the royal throne. ‘Try to find him at once if not sooner. If you don’t, I’m afraid his daddy will have a fit, his aunts and uncles two fits, and his mother half a doz- en fits. No doubt, like so many of my other subjects, he has jumped cn one of those pesky lightning bugs and gone some place,” “Oh, we'll find him,” said Nancy. “We've found every Pee Wee we started out to find and I’m sure Georgie Porgie can’t be far away either.” So away they went to look for the little Pee Wee fellow who was so| small he could” have hidden in a fairy’s chimble. First they lookeg under the man- drake leaves. But he wasn’t there. Then they looked in the daisy patch. But he wasn’t there. Then there came to the meadow where a hun- | dred little ground spiders had woven | a hundred little webs all looking like lace doilies on a green table. And there was Georgie Porgie Pee Wee sticking in one of them, “Help, help! I can’t get away,” he called loudly. “Help! I’m caught!’ When the Twins hauled him out he told how it happened. “I was playing circus,” he said, “jumping from one blade of grass to another and pretending the spider, web was a net to catch me like the circus people when they fall, It caught me all right, I'll say. It’s a good thing you come along or I’d have made a nice dinner for Mrs. Spider. So the Twins took\him home and nobody had any fits at all.” (To Be Cortinned.)

MARY ALDEN PRESCOTT TO HER SON, MR. JOHN ALDEN PRES- CoTT MY DEAR JOHN: I do not wonder that you: | an- nounced to me the news of your adoption of a child through e clipping from a daily paper with- out any comment. I cannot under- stand why you would do such a terrible thing, particularly _ after my telegram to you which I sent immediately upon receiving is. Hamilton’s letter telling me that you had some ridiculous ideas of doing this silly thing. ‘ John, have ycu no pride of ‘an- cestry? When I think that you, a direct descendant of John Alden, should take into your home some nameless brat whose mother had no more maternal love for her off-, spring than tec leave it before your door, I turn sick. And that you further have insulted your illus- trious predecessors by giving that child not only you name but the name of the ancestor of whom we are most proud—John Alden! It seems incredible. Why John, do you realize that i this child is probably illegitimate? No woman, fio matter hew poor, would give up a child in this wa refusing to disclose her iden unless that child was born in dis- grace. The only reason I can think of whereby Mrs. Hamilton would agree to this awful niece of in- sanity is that both she and her husband have come, as you might say, from the soil, and they have no feeling of the duties and re- | spensibilities that belong to us who count among our progenitors the splendid Puritan forefathers who built up this country. \ I do not think I shall ever re- ecver from this terrible disgrace.

Leslie’s mind must be weaker than even I j thought it was. Yeu-must never expect to bring ‘that child into my’ house.

She has se deeply sympathized with me in this. great trouble which you have put upon me that I cannot help but love her more than ever. Dear Priscilla says she feels that no one has the right to adopt a child of doubtful ancestry, and that she .would not think of adopting one anless it were the child of some one in her own family, or perhaps in, mine. Ever since I have read that ter- rible article—(to think that such a thing should be written about one of my_name, in a public newspa- per)>-I have taken to my bed. I congider it a disgrace that any one belonging to me should have her name in the paper in connection with;the birth of a child.’ You werd;not mentioned _ among my friends until yo were christened.

N. B. He stood fn a commanding position in the center of the first-class deck of the little ‘Baruda—moored along- side the white jetty—a tall figure with an aristocratic stoop and a mon- ocle that delighted. all native be- holders. When Captain John Hewitt —Commissioner af. Potice—observed him through his binoculars from the veranda of his: butigalow-—the new- comer appeared. t0' bé iving orders to everybody within hearing. “Jack,” called ;Monica from her chair; “who is it?” Her brother glanced back. “You're merely guessing,” he re- |torted. “You couldn't possibly seo from where you are.” “I can. Would you like me to prove it? A long, lean, stoopy man with a funny puggaree red tabs.” ‘And—there you are!” interpolat- ed Chinese Pennington through the office window. “Monica has the eye of an 'awk!” Pennington climbed through the window and took the glasses from |the other's hand. Monica gave a little impatient toss to-her shock of fair curls, folded down the page of the book |she had been‘reading and joined them by thee rail. “That,” said Pennington, pointing down the hill, “is Major James Lacy Armitage—” “D. S. 0.” murmured Monica. “I fancy you're wrong there. He has three ribbons—almost as broad as they are long: One is for going to Messina just after the earthquake, the second I don’t know, and the third he obtained by giving up his seat in a ‘bus’ to a Russian Grand- Duchess!” Monica laughed. “The question is,”. said Hewitt “what's his particular object in com- ing here. | “What's his particular stunt?” + “Blood and iron! Addresses a dinner-party as if he were back on parade with the umpteenth hussars. Armitage is one of those men who talks until they give him a job sim- ply to get rid of him.” “I see,” said the Commissioner “You don’t happen to know, I sup- pose, what sort of billet they’ve fixed Rim up with this time.” Chinese Pennington was engaged in rolling a cigaret. “They couldn’t find him a vacancy —so they made a job for him. He's a sort of traveling inspector.” “Oh!” gasped Monica. “You don't think they’ve sent him here to. take Jack’s place?” “Not on your life! Armitage don't like work. He’s on the cushiest thing he’s ever struck—and nothing short of an earthquake’ll induce him to chuck it up. He'll. inspect the barracks, parade all the native troops, drill them himself, nose into the cook-houses, waste everybody's time—and write a” stinking report home to England condemning every- body.” Monica Viney’s forehead wrinkled. “Won't that be’ rather serious?” Pennington smiled. “It'd be disastrous—if anybody. at home took Armitage seriously. As far as I can make out, to be con- demned by our friefid in the’ monocle is the finest recommendation for pro- motion and increase of pay a police officer can have!” The Commissioner wound the leather sling carefully round the bi- noculars and consigned them to the cockroach-eaten case that hung from the wall, “And all this,” he complained, “when I'm up to my eyes in work! Monica’ll have to entertain him, that’s all.” “T like that!” “I thought you would.

It was my chief of staff—aRbat-Pilai —who accomplished the dirty deed.\ He’s dried the gruesome relic over the fire and carries it about with him.” “And the ring,” said Monica eager- ly; “the ring with the green stone?” “He wears that. I hadn’t the heart to deprive him of it, seeing that the bandit robbed him of an ear and an eye on their last encounter.” Monica retreated to her chair and folding her hands over one knee, gazed through palm-clad slopes to the riband-like road below. “I wish with‘ all my heart you could catch him, Peter. I hate to think of you roaming about in the jungle with every Chinaman’s hand against you; it gets on my nerves.” “I. wonder if he’s heard that I’m still in the land of living,” mused Pennington. “Did I ever tell you that Varney buried me with all due pomp and ceremony—and placed a suitable inseription over my head.” “Peter,” Hewitt said-earnestly, “do your damndest, but for Heaven's sake take. precautions. Chai-Hung’s ter- rible enough under ordinary circum- Stances, but ChaisHung' deprived ‘of one hand will be like**a wounded wasp.” “I know,” returned the man with the Chinese eyes..He smiled across at Monica. “But he’s still the same delightful, yellow-skinned® seouridrel whose habits I’ve made°a ‘dife-study. I came here to get him and, although I've failed to do so scores of times. I've kept him on the run.

But you haven't been out!” e Pennington’s face wrinkled. “I’m going to let you into a state secret. Did you happen to hear a Dusun gong beating between nine and ten?” . “Yes,” said the Commissioner; “I had half a mind to send an orderly lown and have it stopped. I only Permit gong-beating in the vicinity of my house on feast-days and times of national rejoicing.” “That would have been a pity,” returned the other, “because I should have lost the interesting portion of &@ most breezy dispatch from the zone of war.” ‘ Hewitt grabbed his hat from a peg. - “The worthy Major has 'found his way to our slope.
