ABEL awoke that night with a Btart to see the reflection of flnmes dancing up and down the walL She snrana to the window. The straw that cov ered one of the piles of apples was burning brightly, and In a moment she saw a dark figure dart toward an other, which sprang Into flame also. With a cry she awoke Gladys and ran downstairs to call her father. He quickly dressed and hurried out, but by that time four of the elpht piles were already on fire. The miscreant fled as soon as he saw he was discov ered. Mr. Sanders raked the burning straw from the apples as nuickly as he could, but those in the outer layer were baked to a turn. "I'll warrant it's some of that ras cally Snyder's work," he said as he came back to the house. "We'll give you those baked apples for the hogs If you'll go to town with as tomorrow," said Gladys. "I'm al most afraid to go alone." TU go with you aU right,", her father answered, "and if Bnyder shows up it will be the worse for him." It was nearly 4 o'clock, and as they were all too excited to sleep they con cluded to sit tip until morning and watch the apples. "I think our friend Is too scared to come back," said Mr. Sanders. "He was scared enough to get away in ' hurry anyway." But about half an hour later. Just as he was sinking Into a doze and the girls were talking quietly on the sofa, they were startled by several cries from the direction of the apple or chard. : It was that darkest hour that comes Just before dawn, and they could see nothing. Seizing the lighted lantern and telling tbe girls to wait until be came back, Mr. Rnnders ran out to the orchard. "Right this way, Mr. Sanders!" call ed a cheerful voice as be reached the edge of the orchard. "I've got him." "Why, Jeff," cried Mr. Sanders, "what are you doing here?" '. "Sitting on a nigger," replied Jeff. "Help me hang on to him, and we'll take him Into the bouse and tie him up" Bat no help was needed, for tbe cul prit, a young negro boy, was so scared ARE YOU; UP TO DATE.f v,4 k ?

"I was In the barber shop getting my hair cut today," said Jeff after they had shut tbe captive up in the feed room and gone Into the house, "when I heard Snyder talking to this boy. I suspected something was up and strained my ears to cutch what It was. I made out tbe words 'Sanders,' "apples' and ' o'clock.' I wasn't sure enough of anything to bother you about it, but I thought I'd get up a little before 4 and ride Nanny over and see If there was anything the mat ter. I hadn't been here ten minutes when I beard this fellow sneaking across tbe road and up toward the ap ple piles. I followed him, and we bad the scuffle you heard." When he was told of tbe burning of tbe plies a short time beforo Jeff was greatly chagrined. "I ought to have told you about it,' he said. "Now half your apples are anolled.1 ."Not more than ten bushels," laugh ed Mr. Bonders. "We're glad that you came around as soon as you did." The next day they drove ta town with the load of apples with tbe negro boy safely tied to the seat beside Mr. Sanders, while the girls sat on an ap ple sack behind. Mr. Banders drove up to Snyder's of fice and, taking the boy by the hand, led him upatalrs. Mr. Sanders always burst oat laughing when sny one ask ed him about that Interview with Sny der. ""I guess he'd made me a partner in tbe apple trust If I'd have insisted," he said. "I told him a contract to take tbe rest of oar apples at I LOO a bushel would do "Just as wen." Tbe rest of the apple crop brooght $100, making $175 altogether from the acre. As soon as tbe apples were eat of the way the girls devoted their en ergies to the cabbages. These did not asU atfeedlly- as tba apples; bowfec. and they Anally decided to load a car aod sod It to Chicago. Cabbages seemed to be In Utile de mand that year, and a abort time later they received a statement something Uke this from the commission men: Oae ear of eabbasee....... .. rraUHt, eommawie am - " I MB.

Jeff straightened up his long back, and the awkwardness of boyhood seemed to slip from him In an Instant, leaving In Its place the responsibility and purpose of youngnanhood. "A fellow that couldn't amount to something when he had two such girls as you to back him up must be a pretty poor sort to start with," he said. Then be held out bis band. "Good night and good by." be added. and a moment later be was gone. "We won't know Jeff when be comes back," said Gladys. "College is going to make a lot of difference tu him." "Do you know," said Mabel, "I don't feel tbe same way about him that I did about Harold. Jeff will be true to his Ideas of right whatever happens, but Harold Ob. I hope be gets start ed right!" The next spring the girls, following the advice of Mr. Pearson, top grafted about half of the Wealthy trees witb scions of hardy winter varieties. Wbeo these came Into bearing it would sim plify the work of marketing very much. They decided not to try cab bage growing again, but Instead seed ed the entire orchard to clover.

Gladys was in town a couple of days before tbey were to start, when she met Harold on the street It was the first time she had seen him since be bad acted as their champion when they were peddling apples the fall be fore. He raised bis Jaunty little cap as she approached. "It seems good to see yoo, Gladys," he said. "Won't yoa let me take you out borne In tbe autoT "If yon'U wait an hour," Gladys re plied. "I've a lot to do yet before IT1 be ready." Promptly at the appointed time nnr old drove the auto around to the dry goods emporium and helped Gladys and her many packages to tbe seat "Tbe apple orchard must bave done extra well this season," be remarked, with a smile, as be surveyed tbe seat full of bundles. "Not quite so well as last year," sbe replied. "But we're getting ready to go away to school, and It takes a lot of things, you know." Tes; Harold knew. He bad spent a couple of uncomfortable hours that morning trying to convince bis father that all the "things" be bed spent bis money for tbe previous semester were really necessary. "I hope you'll like college," he said after a moment "and that tbe apple orchard will be equal to Its task." "Oh, I think it will all right" re plied Gladys-nhat Is. if l( lps oa dolna- as well as It baa dtuKo far."

He was working through the summer on a farm up In Minnesota and bad not been borne since be first went away a year before. An occasional letter told them that he was enjoying bis school work and getting along much better than be bad dared to hope for, but that was all. Gladys -uiid Mabel put Into their col. lege work all tho energy with which their live young bodies were charged and enjoyed It immensely. The other girls were not at all "stuck op," but just happy, healthy girls like them selves, aud tbey made friends easily, Outside of study hours tbey let oft some of their bubbling spirits by play ing basketball and they did It so effl clently that before the first term was over tbey bad both made tbe team. But, after all, tbey were glad when tbe term was over aud tbey could go borne for a four weeks' vacation. It was good to get back to tbe little farm borne once more and doubly good to see the dear old father and mother again. It was lonely at borne these days with both tbe girls gone, but Mr. aud Mrs. Sanders bore It uncomplainingly. "We've got no call to worry, moth er," said Mr. Sanders one evening. "It's lonesome, but It's a whole lot to bave airls yoa can depend on. And then It'll be vacation in two weeks,' be added, and bis wife echoed bis smile. And when tbe girls, a little taller. little stralgbter. but not quite so rosy, csme rushing In In the same old breezy way well tbe old boons took on new joyousness. "If yoa girls don't keep still and go to bed," said Mr. Sanders some time within an hour or two after tbe clock struck 11 "III want to pack op and start for college myself.' The neit morning as Mr. Sanders was starting oat to tbe barn to milk be met Gladys coming in with a brim ming pall In either band. "Jost to show yoa I hadn't forgotten how." star said, with a laugh. "It's such fan to be home again." . Mabel was already op and getting breakfast, and if some of the cakes were burned It wssn't because of care less cooking, bat rather indicated bet proficiency as a firs builder. After breakfast Gladys went oat to tbe barn and bad a long talk with Mollle, and If Mollis didn't understand all tbe secrets sbe wss told It wasnt because sbe didn't listen attentively Then Msbel came oat and tbey bitch ed an to tbe ratter, and Mollis took them op bin sad down at pace that mads the sleighbetis Jingle merrily.
