r can remember which is which."

Phyllis slipped her watch on, and all the girls sighed with relief.

Daphne joined the group.

"I offer my congratulations," she drawled. "Sort of a dual role you
were playing. Old Ducky Lucky was more ducky lucky-ish than ever. I
could hear her even from where I sit."

"Just why do you call her Ducky Lucky?" Janet inquired. "I've always
wondered."

The girls turned to Sally.

"It's a long time ago," she began, "since I christened her, but it had
something to do with the way she said, 'Tut, tut'; her teeth, you know,
aren't always tight and the effect sounded just like ducky lucky, and
so I called her that. It's years ago, and of course they fit better
now, but the name still sticks."

"Oh, Sally,"--Janet was convulsed--"she did make a noise just like that
to-day, only I didn't realize."

"But I did,"--Phyllis laughed--"and it was all I could do to keep from
giggling."

"Thank goodness math. is the last period; perhaps she'll have time to
forget," Janet said just as the bell rang.

"Don't count on it," Rosamond called over her shoulder as she went back

But mathematics class was uneventful. Miss Baxter ignored the twins,
much to their delight, for they did not have to answer a single
question.

"Sally, you're coming home with us this afternoon, aren't you?" Janet
called as the bell rang.

"Yes; can you wait a half a shake?" Sally replied. "I have to take a

"Snow!"--Phyllis laughed as she and Janet waited for her a few minutes
later--"what a lot you were responsible for to-day. Jan, whatever
possessed you to say that out loud?"

Janet shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know; I suppose I was just
thinking out loud. I was awfully thrilled when I saw it anyway."

"Well, I may be your twin," Phyllis mused, "but I don't pretend to
understand you. We did have fun with Ducky Lucky, though, didn't we?"

"Yes, but she could have gotten beautifully even with us if she had
wanted to,"--Janet laughed.

"How?" Phyllis inquired, but Sally's appearance cut short the
conversation before Janet had a chance to explain.

They walked home through the park, and Phyllis insisted upon going in
to see Akbar. As they entered the lion house, a small body thrust
itself upon her and shouted gleefully:

"I've found you at last! I knew I would. Where have you been all this
