doubt, evidently, how to treat me after
what had occurred Finally she held out
her hand:
II beg your pardon, Mr.. Smith ; it was
all careless mistake of my own. Can
you forgive me ?"
I thought of the kisses she had given
me, and wished the same mistake might
be made over again, though | was wise
enough not to make known my wish.
'Let me explain" she continued,
frankly. "We were expecting my brother
Richard home from the South, where he
has been some four or five months past,
and were quite sure that he would arrive
on the train which brought you. He has
been some years engaged to Miss Here
ford, and the marriage ceremony was to
take place Immediately on his arrival. l
went down to the depot to welcome him,
and because of the striking similitude in
your respective personal appearance, l
mistook a stranger for my brother. That
is all. Brother Richard, Mr.. Smith is
entirely blameless of any wrong. We
gave him no time for explanation. Let
me present you to each other as friends, 3"
My counterpart shook hands with me,
and begged my pardon for dislocating my
neck,tie I granted it, and begged his
pardon for committing like depreciation
on his neck-tie. And then, at sign from
the elderly gentleman, we all walked into
the drawing-room, where, in a brief space
of time, my counterpart was made the
husband of his blushing Alice.
The acquaintance SO singularly begun
with the Smith family, soon ripened into
friendship, and became one of the most
precious of life's blessings to ME.
Helen Smith had kissed me, and she
could not forget it. If man can get q
woman to think of hint hardly mat.
ters in what way-he has claim on her;
and SO it was in my case. believe that
| never met Helen but she blushed at the
memory that stole over her.
Three months after our first meeting
she kissed me again and called me her
Dear Richard" And this time she was
well aware that she was not addressing
her brother.
Is it fortunate, or an unfortunate
thing, to have counterpart? When ]
think Of the boarding -house-keeper, say,
"No;" but when l look at Helen and re-
call the circumstances of our introduction,

This seems to be the only way in which
they can hope to save any portion OF their
