ADVENTURES
Of the TWINS
By Olive Roberts Barton
"Use like a la* so," he explained.
Day Jones sent for his magic an
chor and gave it to Nick.
“Use it like a lasso,” he ex
plained. "A lasso wouldn't be a bit
of use in the sea any more than an
anchor would be In a desert. Just
hang it over your sea-horse’s neck
and when you see Tweekanose, let
out the rope and throw it. It will
be sure to catch him.”
“But —" said Nancy and Nick and
the Sand Man and Captain Penny
winkle all together. “But—”
"But what?" Davy Jones wanted
to know. “Why is everybody look
ing so queer 'n everything?"
“Because,” explained Nick, "our
sea-horses aren't much bigger than
pollywogs and the anchor is as big
as a wash-tub.”
“Why, so it Is” declared Davy
Jones. “But what of it? Look at
you two children. I bet you any
thing that you used to be as big as
real children.”
"We are real children.” declared
Nancy. "The reason we are little
enough to ride on sea-horses is that
we can make ourselves any size at
all as long as we have our magic
shoes along."
"Yo, ho. ho, and a bottle of rum*”
roared Davy Jones. “Well this
anchor is magic, too. I wouldn’t
have It if it wasn't. Just watch.'”
And he said:
"Ink, wink,
Now ponder and think,
Down under the water,
It's right you should shrink.”
And instantly the magic anchor
shrank until it was small enough
for a watch charm.
Davy Jones picked it up and
handed it to Nlek. “Here you are,”
he said. “If this doesn’t do the
work ud catch that rascal, Tweek
anose, I'm very much mistaken."
“But how can we get it gack to
you?" asked Nick.
“Chicken* always com® home to
roost.” said Davy Jones. "Just drop
It into the ocean any time, any
place and It will come right back."
The Twins and the Fand Man
and Captain Pennywinkle thanked
Davy Jones and bade hi* good-bye.
Then they started again to look
for Tweekanose on the bottom of
the ocean.
One good thing they did. It Ju*t
happened that they pas.-ed the mag
ic mill that grunted out the salt
BY CONDO
that made the ocean bitter. You
know! The one the dwarf lost
overboard off a boat and that has
been grinding out salt ever since?
Well it had, and when the Twins
came up to the mill and saw It Nick
said:
“Ink, wink,
Now ponder and think,
Down under the water.
It's right you should shrink.”
The mill began to shrink, and It
shrank and shrank until It disap
peared altogether.
"I’m sure I am ever so much
obliged,” said Captain Pennywinkle.
“The sea was getting so salty it
gave me a headache. Oh, look out”
For there was Tweekanse sitting
on a sword-fish and coming right
toward them.
Nick threw the magic anchor as
Davy Jones had said and pulled him
off, and Captain Pennywinkle went
right up and grabbed him.
But in the scramble the sword
fish's sharp nose tore the bag of
sleepy sad and it scattered all over
the bottom of the sea.
"Ha. ha, ha!” laughed thfc dread
ful little gnome. "You’ve got me
but not the sleepy sand. It is gone
forever." .
"Not if I know anything, said
the Sand Man.

And before Jack could warn his dog, a large yellowish-brown boat
leaped out of the thicket. It made straight for Flip, but the alert dog
was too quick. Flip leaped to one side and the boar then saw the two
hunters. Instantly he turned and started running out across an open
space.

“After him!" shouted the hunter. And the two horses, well trained
in boar bunting leaped forward. It all happened so quickly that Jack
hardly realized what ho was doing. "Be ready to heave your spear!”
shouted tho hunter. And then Jack sat up and held the point of his
spear forward.

Flip had recovered his scare and was now running ahead of the
horses and closing in on the frightened boar. Tho hunter held his horse
