"PRUDENCE OF THE PARSONAGI (Continued from Our Last Issue.) CHAPTER VI. Roused from Her Slumber. At five minutes to four, the parsonage family clustered excit- edly in the sitting room when a knock was heard. "I'llgo to the door," said Fa- ther Starr, and Prudence looked at him beaeechtngly. "I—l am sure he Is all right, father. I—you will be nice to him, won't you?" Without answering, Mr. Stan- left the room. He could not trust his voice. "Listen, girls, I want to'hear," whispered Prudence. And she smiled 88 she heard her father's cordial voice. "You are Mr. Harmer, aren't you? I am Prudence'B father. Come right in. The whole family in assembled to do you honor. Come back this way. Prudence is resting very nicely." When the two men stepped into the sitting room. Prudence, for 1 once, quite overlooked her father. She lifted her eyes to Jerrold Har- j mer's face, and waited, breath- , less. He walked at once to the bed, and took her hand. "My little comrade of the road," 1 he said gaily, but with tenderness. i "I am afraid you are not feeling i well enough for callers today." I "Oh, yes, I am," protested Pru- dence with strange shyness. 1 He turned to the other girls, and greeted them easily. "Miss I Starr told me so much about you i that I know you all to begin with." ; He smiled at Prudence ->t> he add- ed, "you look tired. lam afraid ! It was an imposition for me to ! come this afternoon" I "Oh, don't worry about that," j put In Connie. "She wanted you \u25a0 to come. She's been getting us ready for you ever since the doc- ! tor left. 1 i Itlii k it was kind of j silly for me to wear my blue Just I for one caller." | The twins glared at her, realiz- : ing that she was discrediting the issraonage, hut Jerrold Harmer ! laughed, and Prudence joined I him. BY ETHEL Hllslov Copyright, 1015. Bobbs, Men ill Co. This will leave only $1,600 for 1917 Improvement*. The park appropriation annually ha* been 9*5,000. Of this sum $70,090 Is Deeded for maintenance of park*. "It is quite true," she admitted frankly. "The mule and I dis- graced the parsonage this morn- ing, and I wauted the rest to re- deem It this afternoon." She looked at him inquiringly. "Then you had another coat?" "No, I didn't. I saw this one in a window this morning, and couldn't resist it. Was the ride very hard on your ankle " Mr. Starr was puzzled. Evi- dently it was not lack of funds which brought this man on foot from Dcs Moines to Mount Mark --half-way across the state! He did not look like a man fleeing from justice. What, then, was the explanation? "You must hare found it rather a long walk," he began tentatively, his eyes on the young man's face- "Yes, I think my feet are a lit- tle blistered. I have walked far- ther than that many times, but I am out of practice now. Some- times, however, walking is a pain- ful necessity." "Well, I think it was mighty brave of you to walk that far—l don't car* why you did it," an- nounced Connie with emphasis. "Brave!" he repealed. "I have walked three times seven miles, often, when I was in school." "Oh, I mean the whole thing— clear from Dee Moines!" Then he hurst out laughing. "I drove from Dcs Moines in the car, and—" "The automobile!" gasped Carol. "Yes, just so. I stopped several places on business as I came through. I drove from Burling- ton this morning, but I got off the road. The car broke down and I couldn't fix it. So I had to walk in. That Is what I was seeing about today—sending a man out for the car, and arranging about the repairs." He smiled again- "What in the world did you think I would walk from Dcs Moines for?" he asked Prudence. "I did not think anything about it until they asked, and—l did not know about the car. You did not mention It." "No. I remember now. We were talktng of other things all the time." He turned frankly to Mr. Starr. "Perhaps you have heard of the Harmer Automobile Company, of Dcs M*s4nes. My fa- ther was Harvey Harmer. Two years sgo, when I was running around in Europe, he died. It was his desire that I should take charge of the business. So I hur- ried home, and have bad charge of the company since then. We are establishing sales agencies here and in Burlington, and sev- eral other towns. That's what brought me to Mount Mark." For the first time in her life Prudence distinctly triumphed over her father. She flashed him the glsnce of a conqueror, and he nodded, understanding^. He liked Jerrold Harmer. He was glad that things were well. Bat—they would excuse him, be must look after bis Sunday's sermons. A little later the twins and Connie grew restless, end finally Connie blurted out, "Say, Prue, don't you think we've upheld the parsonage long enough? I want to get some fresh air." The twins would never hay* been guilty of such social indiscre- tion as this, but they gladly avail- ed thsemselves of Connie's "break," and followed her out- of-doors. Then Fairy get up, laughing "I have done my share, too. I think we'll leave the parsonage in your hands now, Prue. And won't you stay for dinner with us? I'm I sure to disgrace the parsonage again, for I am no cook, but you can get along for once, surely." < Jerrold Harmer looked very i eager, yet he looked somewhat , doubtfully at Prudence. Finally In- laughed, and said, "I should certainly like to stay, but you see ' I want to come back tomorrow. | Now, will I dare stay for dinner i tonight? Wouldn't Connie say j that was disgracing the parson- \u25a0 age?" Fairy laughed delightedly. ! "That is very good," she said. I "Then you will stay. I'll try to j fix it up with Connie to save the j reputation of the house." Prudence lay back happily on the pillows and smoothed the lace ' on her mother's silk dressing gown. "Talk to me," she ssld, "tell me about where you live, and what you do —your work, you know, and how you amuse your- self. I want you to amuse me now, Mr. Harmer." "You called me Jerry this morning." "Yes, I know. Do you want me to call you Jerry still?" "Yes, Prudence, I do. Do you mind If I move my chair a little closer " "No, put it right here. Now, I am ready." They did not quote poetry, they did not discuss the psychological intricacies of upontaneous attrac- tion, they did not say anything deep, or wise, or learned. But they smiled at each other, with pleased investigating eyes. And together they found Paradise in the shabby sitting room of the old Methodist parsonage that after- noon. CHAPTER VII. She Orders Her Life. That was the beginning of Pru- dence's golden summer. She was not given to self-analysis. She hadn't the time. She took things as they came. The day** when Jerry came were tremulously happy ones lor her. The nights when Jerry slept in the little spare bedroom, Prudence lay awake, starring Joyously into the darkness, hoping Jerry was sound asleep and comfortable. But she never aßked herself why she could not sleep! iV was Saturday evening. Tho early supper at the parsonage was ov*er, the twins had washed the dishes, and still the daylight lin- gered. Prudence and Jerry sat on tho front porch. Fairy had gone for a stroll. Connie and the twins had evident- ly vanished. Ah—not quite that! Carol and Lark came swiftly around the corner of the parson- age. "Good evening," said Lark po- litely, and Prudence sat up abruptly. The twins never wasted politeness! They wanted some- thing. "Do you mind if we take Jerry around by the woodshed for a few minutes, Prue?" Prudence sniffed suspiciously. "What are you going to do to him?" she demanded. "We won't hurt him," grinned Carol impishly. "We had intend- ed to tie him to a stake and burn him alive. But since you have interceded on his behalf, we'll let him off with a single scalping." "That's all right," Prudence an- swered defensively. "I'd sooner' face a tribe of wild Indians any day than you twins when you are mischief-bent." "Oh, we just want to use him a few minutes," said Carol impa- tiently. "We promise not to hurt a hair of his head." "Oh, come along and cut out the comedy," Jerry broke in, laughing. "I'll be back in two minutes, Prue." Onoe safely around the corner, the twins changed their tactics. "We knew you weren't afraid,'' said Lark artistically, "we want to ask a favor of you, that's all. It's something we can't do our- selves, but we knew you would do It, all right" Jerry perceived the drift of this argument. "I sOT*! I'm paid in advance for my services. What's the Job?" The twins had discovered that by climbing gingerly on the rotton roof of the woodshed, followed by almost superhuman scrambling and scratching, they could get up into the leafy secrecy of the grand old maple. More than this, up high In the tree they found a delightful ar- rangement of branches that seem- ed positively made for them. These branches must be utilized, and It was In the act of utilizing them that they called'upon their sister's friend for help, "Do you see this board?" be- gan Lark. "My eyesight Is quite unim- paired," answered Jerry, for he knew his twins. "Well, we've found a perfectly gorgeous place up In the old tree where we can make a seat. It's quite a ways out from the trunk, and when the wind blows It swing* splendidly. We thought you could nail this securely on to the limbs —there are two right near each other." "And see this rope," cried Carol. "Isn't It a dandy? We thought when you had the board nicely nailed on, you might rope It securely to the limbs above. Do you suppose you can do that, JerrY" "Oh, yes. Well, let* begin Now, observe! I will just loop this end of the rope lightly about ay—er —middle. Tho other end will dangle on the ground to he Friday, Aug. 11,1916. A NOVEL A WEEK. V.> . t Ift au \u25a0 1 "INTO THE PRIMITIVE" By Robert Ames Benuett.

The twins promptly em promt- ly as possible—followed him into the tree. "Oh, yes, we'll come along. You will need us to hold things steady while you hammer." It was a delightful location, as they had said. The board fitted nicely on the two limbs, and Jerry fastened it with nails. "Oh, Jerry," exclaimed Carol, "it's such a blessing to discover something really nice about you after all these months!" "Now, we'll Just —" "Hush!" hissed Lark. "Here comes Connie. Hold your breath, Jerry, and don't budge." "Isn't she In on this?" he whis- pered. Connie came beneath the maple. Then she gave a gleeful scream. Klght before her lay a beautiful hesvy rope. Connie hsd been yearning for a good rope to make a swing She grabbed It and started back around the house with It yelling, "Prudence! Look at my rope!" Prudence mshed sround th* parsonage. The twins shrieked wildly, as there was a terrific tug of the limb beside them, and then —a grashing of branches and leaves. Jerry was gone! It did look terriule, from about as well as below. But Jerry, when he felt the first light twinge as Connie lifted the rope, foresaw what was coming and was ready for it. As he went down, he grabbed a firm hold on the branch on which he had stood, then he dropped to the next, and hold again. Connie had dropped the rope when the twins screamed, so he had nothing more to fear from her. He saw Prudence, white, with wild eyes, both arms stretched out toward him. i "O. X., Prue," he called, and then he dropped. He landed on his feet, a little Jolted, but none the worse for his fall. He ran at once to Prudence. "I'm all right," he cried, really alarmed by the white horror In her face. * "Prudence! Prudence!" i Then her arms dropped, and with a brave but feeble smile, she swsyed a little. Jeny took her in his arms. i (Concluded In Our Next Issud.)

Among the largest proposedimprovements which will beabandoned Is the playfleld atPt Defiance park, a huge projectwhich had received the endorse-

ment of the board and which wasto have been partially construct-ed next year.

According to present figures,the park appropriation for 1917will be cut $13,600. At presentthe parks bar* $15,000 a yearfor Improvements and additions.

THE TACOMA TIMES.

"PRUDENCE OF THE PARSONAGI

(Continued from Our Last Issue.)

CHAPTER VI.Roused from Her Slumber.

At five minutes to four, theparsonage family clustered excit-edly in the sitting room when aknock was heard.

"I'llgo to the door," said Fa-ther Starr, and Prudence looked athim beaeechtngly.

"I—l am sure he Is all right,father. I—you will be nice tohim, won't you?"

Without answering, Mr. Stan-left the room. He could not trusthis voice.

"Listen, girls, I want to'hear,"whispered Prudence. And shesmiled 88 she heard her father'scordial voice.

"You are Mr. Harmer, aren'tyou? I am Prudence'B father.Come right in. The whole familyin assembled to do you honor.Come back this way. Prudence isresting very nicely."

When the two men stepped intothe sitting room. Prudence, for

1 once, quite overlooked her father.She lifted her eyes to Jerrold Har-

j mer's face, and waited, breath-, less. He walked at once to the

bed, and took her hand."My little comrade of the road,"

1 he said gaily, but with tenderness.i "I am afraid you are not feeling

i well enough for callers today."

I "Oh, yes, I am," protested Pru-dence with strange shyness.1 He turned to the other girls,

• and greeted them easily. "MissI Starr told me so much about youi that I know you all to begin with."; He smiled at Prudence ->t> he add-• ed, "you look tired. lam afraid! It was an imposition for me to! come this afternoon"I "Oh, don't worry about that,"j put In Connie. "She wanted you

\u25a0 to come. She's been getting us• ready for you ever since the doc-! tor left. 1 i Itliik it was kind ofj silly for me to wear my blue Just

I for one caller."| The twins glared at her, realiz-: ing that she was discrediting the• issraonage, hut Jerrold Harmer! laughed, and Prudence joinedI him.

BY ETHEL HllslovCopyright, 1015.

Bobbs, Men ill Co.

This will leave only $1,600 for

1917 Improvement*. The park

appropriation annually ha* been

9*5,000. Of this sum $70,090 Is

Deeded for maintenance of park*.

"Itis quite true," she admittedfrankly. "The mule and I dis-graced the parsonage this morn-ing, and I wauted the rest to re-deem It this afternoon." Shelooked at him inquiringly. "Thenyou had another coat?"

"No, I didn't. I saw this onein a window this morning, andcouldn't resist it. Was the ridevery hard on your ankle "

Mr. Starr was puzzled. Evi-dently it was not lack of fundswhich brought this man on footfrom Dcs Moines to Mount Mark--half-way across the state! Hedid not look like a man fleeingfrom justice. What, then, wasthe explanation?

"You must hare found itrather a long walk," he begantentatively, his eyes on the youngman's face-

"Yes, I think my feet are a lit-tle blistered. I have walked far-ther than that many times, but Iam out of practice now. Some-times, however, walking is a pain-ful necessity."

"Well, I think it was mightybrave of you to walk that far—ldon't car* why you did it," an-nounced Connie with emphasis.

"Brave!" he repealed. "I havewalked three times seven miles,often, when I was in school."

"Oh, I mean the whole thing—clear from Dee Moines!" Then hehurst out laughing. "I drovefrom Dcs Moines in the car,and—"

"The automobile!" gaspedCarol.

"Yes, just so. I stopped severalplaces on business as I camethrough. I drove from Burling-ton this morning, but I got off theroad. The car broke down andI couldn't fix it. So I had to walkin. That Is what I was seeingabout today—sending a man outfor the car, and arranging aboutthe repairs." He smiled again-"What in the world did you thinkI would walk from Dcs Moinesfor?" he asked Prudence.

"Idid not think anything aboutit until they asked, and—l didnot know about the car. Youdid not mention It."

"No. I remember now. Wewere talktng of other things allthe time." He turned frankly toMr. Starr. "Perhaps you haveheard of the Harmer AutomobileCompany, of Dcs M*s4nes. My fa-ther was Harvey Harmer. Twoyears sgo, when I was runningaround in Europe, he died. Itwas his desire that I should takecharge of the business. So I hur-ried home, and have bad chargeof the company since then. Weare establishing sales agencieshere and in Burlington, and sev-eral other towns. That's whatbrought me to Mount Mark."

For the first time in her lifePrudence distinctly triumphedover her father. She flashed himthe glsnce of a conqueror, and henodded, understanding^. He likedJerrold Harmer. He was gladthat things were well. Bat—theywould excuse him, be must lookafter bis Sunday's sermons.

A little later the twins andConnie grew restless, end finallyConnie blurted out, "Say, Prue,don't you think we've upheld theparsonage long enough? I wantto get some fresh air."

The twins would never hay*been guilty of such social indiscre-tion as this, but they gladly avail-ed thsemselves of Connie's"break," and followed her out-of-doors.

Then Fairy get up, laughing

"I have done my share, too. Ithink we'll leave the parsonage inyour hands now, Prue. And won'tyou stay for dinner with us? I'm Isure to disgrace the parsonageagain, for I am no cook, but youcan get along for once, surely." <

Jerrold Harmer looked very ieager, yet he looked somewhat ,doubtfully at Prudence. FinallyIn- laughed, and said, "I shouldcertainly like to stay, but you see 'I want to come back tomorrow. |Now, will I dare stay for dinner itonight? Wouldn't Connie say jthat was disgracing the parson- \u25a0

age?"Fairy laughed delightedly. !

"That is very good," she said. I"Then you will stay. I'll try to jfix it up with Connie to save the jreputation of the house."

Prudence lay back happily onthe pillows and smoothed the lace 'on her mother's silk dressinggown.

"Talk to me," she ssld, "tellme about where you live, andwhat you do—your work, youknow, and how you amuse your-self. I want you to amuse menow, Mr. Harmer."

"You called me Jerry thismorning."

"Yes, I know. Do you wantme to call you Jerry still?"

"Yes, Prudence, I do. Do youmind If I move my chair a littlecloser "

"No, put it right here. Now, Iam ready."

They did not quote poetry, theydid not discuss the psychologicalintricacies of upontaneous attrac-tion, they did not say anythingdeep, or wise, or learned. Butthey smiled at each other, withpleased investigating eyes. Andtogether they found Paradise inthe shabby sitting room of the oldMethodist parsonage that after-noon.

CHAPTER VII.She Orders Her Life.

That was the beginning of Pru-dence's golden summer. She wasnot given to self-analysis. Shehadn't the time. She took thingsas they came.

The day** when Jerry came weretremulously happy ones lor her.The nights when Jerry slept in thelittle spare bedroom, Prudence layawake, starring Joyously into thedarkness, hoping Jerry was soundasleep and comfortable. But shenever aßked herself why she couldnot sleep!

iVwas Saturday evening. Thoearly supper at the parsonage wasov*er, the twins had washed thedishes, and still the daylight lin-gered. Prudence and Jerry sat ontho front porch.

Fairy had gone for a stroll.Connie and the twins had evident-ly vanished. Ah—not quite that!Carol and Lark came swiftlyaround the corner of the parson-age.

"Good evening," said Lark po-litely, and Prudence sat upabruptly. The twins never wastedpoliteness! They wanted some-thing.

"Do you mind if we take Jerryaround by the woodshed for a fewminutes, Prue?"

Prudence sniffed suspiciously."What are you going to do tohim?" she demanded.

"We won't hurt him," grinnedCarol impishly. "We had intend-ed to tie him to a stake and burnhim alive. But since you haveinterceded on his behalf, we'll lethim off with a single scalping."

"That's all right," Prudence an-swered defensively. "I'd sooner'face a tribe of wild Indians anyday than you twins when you aremischief-bent."

"Oh, we just want to use him afew minutes," said Carol impa-tiently. "We promise not to hurta hair of his head."

"Oh, come along and cut outthe comedy," Jerry broke in,laughing. "I'll be back in twominutes, Prue."

Onoe safely around the corner,the twins changed their tactics.

"We knew you weren't afraid,''said Lark artistically, "we wantto ask a favor of you, that's all.It's something we can't do our-selves, but we knew you woulddo It, all right"

Jerry perceived the drift of thisargument. "I sOT*! I'm paid inadvance for my services. What'sthe Job?"

The twins had discovered thatby climbing gingerly on the rottonroof of the woodshed, followed byalmost superhuman scramblingand scratching, they could get upinto the leafy secrecy of thegrand old maple.

More than this, up high In thetree they found a delightful ar-rangement of branches that seem-ed positively made for them.These branches must be utilized,

and It was In the act of utilizingthem that they called'upon theirsister's friend for help,

"Do you see this board?" be-gan Lark.

"My eyesight Is quite unim-paired," answered Jerry, for heknew his twins.

"Well, we've found a perfectlygorgeous place up In the old treewhere we can make a seat. It'squite a ways out from the trunk,and when the wind blows Itswing* splendidly. We thoughtyou could nail this securely on tothe limbs —there are two rightnear each other."

"And see this rope," criedCarol. "Isn't It a dandy? Wethought when you had the boardnicely nailed on, you might ropeIt securely to the limbs above.Do you suppose you can do that,JerrY"

"Oh, yes. Well, let* beginNow, observe! I will just loopthis end of the rope lightly aboutay—er —middle. Tho other endwill dangle on the ground to he

drawn up at wll!. Observe alsothat I bestow the nails In thispocket, and the hammer here.Then, with the admirable boardbeneath my arm, I mount theheights."

The twins promptly —em promt-ly as possible—followed him intothe tree.

"Oh, yes, we'llcome along. Youwill need us to hold things steadywhile you hammer."

It was a delightful location, asthey had said. The board fittednicely on the two limbs, and Jerryfastened it with nails.

"Oh, Jerry," exclaimed Carol,"it's such a blessing to discoversomething really nice about youafter all these months!"

"Now, we'll Just —""Hush!" hissed Lark. "Here

comes Connie. Hold your breath,Jerry, and don't budge."

"Isn't she In on this?" he whis-pered.

Connie came beneath the maple.Then she gave a gleeful scream.Klght before her lay a beautifulhesvy rope. Connie hsd beenyearning for a good rope to makea swing

She grabbed It and started backaround the house with It yelling,"Prudence! Look at my rope!"

Prudence mshed sround th*

parsonage. The twins shriekedwildly, as there was a terrific tugof the limb beside them, and then—a grashing of branches andleaves. Jerry was gone!

It did look terriule, from aboutas well as below. But Jerry, whenhe felt the first light twinge asConnie lifted the rope, foresawwhat was coming and was readyfor it. As he went down, hegrabbed a firm hold on the branchon which he had stood, then hedropped to the next, and holdagain.

Connie had dropped the ropewhen the twins screamed, so hehad nothing more to fear fromher. He saw Prudence, white, withwild eyes, both arms stretchedout toward him.

i "O. X., Prue," he called, andthen he dropped. He landed onhis feet, a little Jolted, but nonethe worse for his fall.

He ran at once to Prudence."I'm all right," he cried, reallyalarmed by the white horror Inher face. *"Prudence! Prudence!"

i Then her arms dropped, andwith a brave but feeble smile, sheswsyed a little. Jeny took herin his arms.
