ADVENTURES
OF THE TWINS
. ^^Olive Poberba Barton
No. 2—UP TH
Nancy and Nick were hiding be-
hind a big log in Beanstalk Land for
they had seen a giant coining clap
clap clatter clatter in big wooden
shoes.
They were afraid of being stepped
Upon so they hid.
But w-hat did the giant do but sit
right down on the log when he
reached it.
He was a Dutch Giant and he
wore not only great wooden shoes
but loose baggy trousers with great
patches and a funny short coat. And
his pockets were big enough to hold
a windmill.
“Oh where can my leedle dog have
gone?” he panted. “I haf hunted and
hunted and cannot find him. His
cars were so cute and short and his
tail was so cute and long once. Oh.
my poor leedle dog! He must be lost!”
Suddenly the Twins heard n noise
like the stamping of a hundred cows
and out from some huge bushes rush-
ed a creature that looked as though
one of the Rocky Mountains had
grown a crop of hair and decided to
take a journey. And it was making a
noise much much louder than the
Woden shoes had done.
“Oil there you arc!” cried the
Dutch Giant happily. “Where have
you been you leedle rascal? Come
here Snap.” And he cracked his fin-
gers like thunder. The Twins saw
the dog coming right at them. They
weren't a bit frightened for Silver
Wing had told them that Beanstalk
Land was a perfectly safe place and
only jolly ginnts lived there. But sho
hadn’t said a w>rd about the jolly
gainfs dogs and it might be possible
that Snap would mistake them for

wood mice or something that Dutch
dogs were specially fond of.
“Quick!” whispered Nick. “Jump
into the giant’s pocket.”
So bolding tight to the cloth of his
funny short coat tho Twins scrambled
into one of his big square pockets.
But troubles were not over!
Snap was hungry and started to
smell around his master's clothes for
a piece of weeny or bologna.
And the first thing Nancy and
Nick knew a great wet nose began to
sniffle and sniffle all over them and
blow its hot breath down like a por-
poise into the giant’s pocket.
“Oh goodness!” gasped Nancy.
“Jiminy!” gasped Nick.
“Ah hal'You got fooled that time!”
roared the funny giant. “The other
is the one! That was the empt'-
pocket! See I know you Mister
Curiosity I”
And the giant put his hand into
his pocket where the Twins were—-
and found — what do you think I
Nancy and Nick of course! And he
I lulled them out and set them on his
mee.

“Who are you I’d like to know”
he cried his eyes as round as dollars.
“Get away Snap.”
“We’re Nancy and Nick the
Twins.” shouted Nick as loudly as
he could.
“You don’t say!” declared the
giant. “Well well well!” You shall
home with me go. I’d like first rate
to have two twins for pets. Come
Snap!”
And off they started.
