resent Romeo and Juliet 3"
Mr.. Barnes determined upon a bold
stroke Taking the button from his
pocket and handing it to Emily he said
quietly;
''Here is a cameo of Juliet Perhaps
it may interest you:"
"Why, this is extraordinary 1t is one
Of my set p

one? How many did you have?"

she stopped and colored deeply.
Miss Remsen, you think that is one
of the original set. If so, of course it is
yours, and should be too glad to restore
it to you. But have you lost one?"
Lost one? No that is, | don't
know" She seemed much confused and
looked intently at the button. Suddenly
her whole expression changed, and with
her self possession fully restored she
startled Mr.. Barnes by saying; 81 am
mistaken. This is not one of the orig
inal set. Yet it is very similar. -
Mr.. Barnes did not know what to
think. Did she divine that there might
be some danger in admitting that there
was a seventh button still? Had that
matchless schemer Mitchell sent her
note warming her to say that there were
but seven in the original set? He could
not decide at once, but hazarded one
more stroke.
Miss Remsen, l have seen your por-
trait, and it struck me that that button
is q copy of it. What do you think?'
The girl once more became confused
and stammered, Il don't know.
Then suddenly, and with complete
composure again, she said; Yes; l
think You are right. This is a copy
from my picture. The portrait was
made last summer, and afterward l al
lowed the artist to exhibit it. l think
photographs were made from it, and
possibly some cameo cutter has used it
for his work. y
This was ingenious, but not satisfac-
tory to Mr.. Barnes, for he knew that it
was far from probable that another gem
cutter should have used the picture and
then have called it Juliet Besides, it
would have been toe great coincidence
