MIXED BABIES.
They Were Born to Mother and Daughter
in One Day.

They Were Born to Mother and Daughter
in One Day.
Last summer there was a double
wedding at East Quogue, L.. /. Mrs.
Pelham Appleby, winsome widow,
became Mrs. Percival Graydon, and
her 1S-year-old daughter was welded
to Cummings Gordon.
What is vaguely known as an Sin
teresting event" took place in the old
mansion yesterday. Two new and
vociferous voices disturbed its usual
quiet. A rumor of twins peryaded
East Quogue. Some said Mrs. Gordon
was "doing as we'll as could be expect
ed," and others said that it was Mrs.
Graydon who twas getting along
nicely"
Each had been vouchsafed an heir
the very same day, a coincidence
which the village regarded as remark
able. The oldest dowager at East
Quogue could remember nothing like
it. Each infant was a boy with
large brown eyes, and each weighed
just 10 pounds ounces. They looked
so much alike that no one could tell
them apart.
The two babies were brought out by
the white-capped nurses and handed
around for general admiration. The
ladies of the village were so delighted
with the infants that they lifted them
up and passed them around, and swap
ped them and traded them for half an
hour. When the nurses returned to
get the babies no one was able to tell
which was which. There was a scene of
confusion and panic. The nurses cried
and talked about losing their situa-
tions. The visitors turned pale and
almost tainted. Some ingenious and
some wild projects were tried for iden-
tifying the babies, but all failed. In
desperation they decided which was
which by popular vote.-New York
Journal.

MYSTERY OF QHE GRkAT RUBY
BY LUCIE ST. DEANE.

at this JuncJure pleasant looking
woman of 90 or 70, hearing the voices,
came from the sitting room and inqulr-
ed what was wanted.
Possibly have mistaken the name, I"
| said courteously, "but was under
the belief that it was Mr.. Howard who
lives here.
"No Twas born in this house and
have lived in it all my life, as did my
father and grandfather. No person Of
the name Of Howard has ever lived or
boarded here. I am sorry to disappoint
you"
1T does not specially matter. Thank
you for your Kindness" replied, lift
ing my hat and bowling myself of the
porch.
Nothing could be more certain than
that this old lady had spoken the truth.
The parties whom / was seeking had
never crossed the threshold. All that l
had done before was blunder. So it
goes. must begin over again.
had Just turned from the lane into
the highway and was walking toward
town when a cab wheeled around q
bend in the road and approached at o
spanking gait. My heart beat little
faster when I recognized the driver
whom had vainly attempted to follow,
and who, I was now satisfied, was the
one that had bought his whip about my
shoulders and received great scare
therefor.
Before he fairly saw me wheeled
like a fash and walked in the direction
be was driving. If he noticed my 40.
tion, he thought nothing Of it
l oarelessly looked up as he passed
and through the glass window Of the cab
saw the face of q woman.
There could be no mistaking those
eyes, hair and matchless features-the
most enhancing on which had ever

Through the artndoaD Of the cab sdto the

gazed. It was the young woman who
had registered at the Windsor as Mrs
Darius G. Howard, Vienna, and she
was alone. She looked at me for the
second she was in sight as she would
have surveyed tree, horse or q cow.
She could have had no suspicion that
that we'll dressed man sauntering along
the highway and swinging his cane had
any more interest in her than the hun
dreds Of other people whom she saw
every day.
Twas now on the right trail, and the
sun was shining, great advantages that
had not possessed before. Further, the
road was comparatively straight for
half a mile, and there was no reason
why l should be thrown off the track
again.
The cab ratified on for furlong or
more and then wheeled into lane and
was partly hidden from sight as it
bowled between the trees toward the
dwelling at the other end Of the avenue.
"No mistake this time. have run
you down, my pretty bird"
The astonishing turn Of the business
now was that the dwelling to which
Mrs. Howard had been driven was an
almost perfect counterpart Of the scene
of my adventure Of the night previous.
There was the long lane shaded by tall
poplars, the big stone house set among
a grove of trees, and even the piazza
along the front, precisely the same as
when Mr.. Hickman (mistaken for MIR.
aoward) paced back and forth enjoy
ing his evening cigar. Had not just
passed the first would have believed
that this was the same.
By the time l reached the mouth OF
the la1e the oabman was turning out
of it. He hardly noticed me, but / saw
the interior of bis vehicle as he swept
by. It was empty.
decided to postpone my little game
Of bluff until I could think it over. So
I walked past the lane, with only a
glance at the broad, low stone building,
partly revealed through the autumn
trees.
had made some progress. had To-
Gated the house Mr.. Howard and his
wife were in the habit Of visiting for
some purpose which at present could not
be guessed. In leaving New York and
Jersey City-that is, so far as l had
learned-they took every precaution to
avoid being followed, even to the ex-
tent of not recognizing each other or
sitting in the same car. These precau-
tions were thrown aside when they left
the train at Railway, probably because
they were satisfied that no one was
shadowing them and their care was use-
less.
fixed the locality Of the house clear
" in my mind, so that if it was ap-
preached in the night no mistake would
be made. I knew the distance it was
from town and how long it would take
to reach it. Whether would come on
foot or in q carriage was to be decided
later. In short, needed an hour or 80
to settle upon the course to follow.
