| please, and II hc M do a iash step, only him
self to blame for the Consequences. And
why should have dissuaded-I who in two
days envicd the boys good fortunef
| saw Il great deal Of Madeline Rowan.
How strange and out of place her name aud
face seemed amid our surroundings. IL at
! first some what shy and retiring, sbs soon, if
only for Carriston's sake, consented TO look
upon me Ms u friend, and Ia ked to me freely
and unreserveiy Then | found that her
nature was as sweet as her face. Such a
conquest did she make of mo that, save for
one chimerical reason, | should have felt
/ quite certain that Carriston had chosen
! we'll, and would lie happy in wedding the
girl of his choice, needless Of her humble
losition in tho world, and absence of befit-
ting wealth When once his wife, | felt
sure that IL he careI Tor her TO win social
success her looks and bearing would insure
| il; and from the great improvement which,
as | have already said, | noticed in hshealth
and spirits, believed that his marriage
would make his life longer, happier and bet
ter.
Now for my objection, which seems almost
laughable one. | objected on the score Of
the extraordinary resemblance, which, so
far as man may resemble woman, cx-
isted between Charles Carriston and Made
line Rowan The more saw them together
the more | was struck by it. A stranger
might well have taken them for twin
brother and sister The same delicate fea-
/ lures, drawn in the same lines; the same
soft, dark dreamy eyes even the same
shaped heads. Comparing tie two, it
needed no phrenoloSlst or physiognomist
to tell you where one excelle1, the other
cxcelled; where one failed, the other was
wanting. Now could / have selected a wife
for my friend, 1 would have chosen one with
habits aud constitution entirely different
/ from his own She should have been a bright,
| busting woman, with lots of energy aud com
mon sense-Ono who would have ratified
him about and kept him going-nota lovely,
dark-eyed, dreamy girl. who could for hours
at a stretch make herself supremely happy
If only sitting al her lovers feet and speak
/ ing no word Yet they were a handsome
couple, and never have seen two people so
utterly devoted to each other as those two
seemed to be during those autumn days
which spent with them.
| soon had a clear proof of the closeness
of their mental resemblance. One evening
/ Carriston, Madeline and | were sitting out
of doors watching the gray mist deepening
in the valley at our fee. Two of the party
We're, of course hand in hand, the third
seated at a discreet dlstance-not so far
away as TO preclude conversation, but far
