26  25  24  23  22  21  20  19  18  17  16  15  14

******************************************************

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :

SUM OF THE PLACE VALUE OF ALPHABET - NUMBER OF LETTERS GIVEN

AS

ADULT = 1 + 4 + 21 +  12 + 20 = 58

58 - 5 = 53

AND

LACK =  12 + 1 + 3  + 11 = 27

27 - 4 = 23

SIMILARLY

HEAVEN = 8 + 5 + 1 + 22 + 5 + 14 = 55
