NdIudolt as ny own, lie Hau HllS- taken my side of the box for his own and wore away my clothing.
 There was n0 help for it, but to dress myself at once Fortunately the clothes fitted me as we'll as my own and go to the proprietor to explain to him what had occurred and ask him if he knew who the person was or where l could find him.
 No, indeed, sir, do not. l think he is staying at one of the hotels close by. thought he looked a bit queer, and perhaps as soon as he gets better he will come around, so you had better leave me your address that l may send him to you.n
 This was all that could be dono. and although l did not like the idea of wearing another persons clothes, l determined 10 take a lit tie stroll as the warm sun after my long protractcd bath, WAS very agreeable.
 l had not strollcd far when l saw approaching. and in earnest con versation. blonde of about six teen, and of considerable beauty; accompanying her were two, evi- dently sisters, but of an entirely different beauty y---dccidedly brun. cites, and of very graceful figures and easy carriage.
 Feeling a little awkward in my change of dress, and thinking that everyone would notice it, l turned as iftC look at a sailing vessel, whose graceful outlines could be seen rising and falling 10 the waves.
 While standing 80 and waiting for them to pass, l was utterly per pleXed bv the blonde, who at that seemed to see me, and with an exclamation of

 "You dear, stupid, overgrown poy, why did you not come direct 70 the hotel and take us out to oathe? Here are my friends, Ma. )cl and Annie Gray. We would have gone with yOu"--aud adding in a whispcr-"I want you to ad- mire Mabel; isn't she loveIy'' And then followed an introduction, while still stood feeling utterly 
 What could do? l felt myself the creature of a dream from which it would be a cruelty to myself to wake, besides it would be useless then to try to say word, for if she were carrying out an already stud ed plan thatl, her suppssed broth CT. should fall in love with Mabel, she, whom l must call the blonde, lad moved on with her younger
 ister Annie.
 For q few seconds l walked
 long by the side of my companion terly perpleXcd as to what l
 ould say or do, It wa3 evident | tt l had been mistaken for some l } clSe--the brother of the one h had so singularly Salutcd me, lo l in all probability the clothes "a | was wearing had been the ar SC of the mistake.
 .But what could l do? It seemed Q ne to be absurd to say to Mabel ih,) appeared to be unconscious fIny embarrassment, or if she ,el Q conscious, attributed my si, ent ,e to the ineXperieuce of yOuth. La ly, am not he who you think.
