can on the hearth, after which he took
his departure, promising to join his
friend next day at the depot.
Unfortunately Blake was of nerv-
Gus disposition, and he began to con-
ceive the dreadful results of making
a mistake. He told himself the thing
was impossible, but it worried him
just the same. Two years are two
years, and in that time a girl develops
into young woman. Certainly in the
photograph he could not make sure
which of the girls was Gladys. Some
times II seemed to him that the one on
the right was undoubtedly she, then
again he was just as sure that the
other one was his betrothed. He had
seen her look exactly like both of
them. The more he looked at it the
more it seemed to him that the two
pair of dancing eyes in the photograph
challenged him mockingly for an an
swer. Finally he threw it down in
despair.
I'm making a mountain out Of a
molehill," he assured himself. when
| see the girls I'll know which is
Gladys fast enough. It's just like
Bob to try and worry me about it.
I'll just fool him this trip"
nevertheless he found himself WHIP
ing the drops of perspiration from his
brow at the mere thought of the pos
sibilities.
He did not find the situation anv
more tolerable next day at the depot.
Bob Garrison was on hand, full of
badinage and advice as to the best
way of getting out of 1t. He seemed
to take it for granted that Blake was
going to make a mistake, and by the
time the train drew in Jim had allowed
himself to be badgered into a condi.
ton in which he would hardly have
recognized his own father.
Blake saw a vision of loneliness de-
scending the car steps which he recog
nized at once as Gladys. There could
be no doubt about 1t, and he went for
ward with radiant face and out
stretched hand. She even wore a
brooch with a miniature set in 1t on
the belt about her waist which he re
membered to have seen before. Jim
had always understood that It was not
the proper thing to salute a young
woman in a public place, but for this
one occasion he made an exception. He
was going to show Bob Garrison thai
he was not so slow after all. A moment

Garrison examined the photograph
long and earnestly, as the ethics of the
situation seemed to require.
They're as pretty as peaches, and
as like as two peas. l congratulate
you on your taste, old man."
I'm glad you like her looks.
mean her sister for YOU"
Thanks, awfully. BY the way,
which is the sister? To me they look
as much alike as the two Dromios."
Blake flushed. THE ueuce of 1t is
that l don't know Gladys from Nell.
They're twins, you know. l met Gladys
one summer in the Adirondacks. That
was two years ago, and though we be-
came engaged l haven't seen her
since"
"And when did you see the other one
last? What's her name-Nell?" asked
Garrison.
81 never have seen her. OF course,
I've heard great deal about her from
Gladys in her letters. In one way 1t
is just the same as knowing her"
ooh, yes-exactly. No difference at
ALL" agreed Garrison ironically. Il
must say l like your generosity. jim.
1t isn't every man would be so free Of
his sisters-in-law as you are. You
show the proper spirit. Considering
the extent of your acquaintance with
her she probably wouldn't thank you
for disposing of her matrimonially,
though. Girls are a little odd that
way. They like to meet the man they
are going to marry before their friends
arrange the details-at least, that has
been my experience with American
girls"
well, you may guy me all you
please, Bob, but I'll bet hat you are
running after her before a week is up.
She'll lead you a merry chase, too, if
she is anything like her sister," re-
turned the other young man COM
posedly.
Robert Garrison examined the
photograph again, and when he hand
ed it back said dryly:
my friend, see your finish. When
those girls get off the train you won't

later he. looked up to see second
Gladys standing beside him with a
curious smile on her lips. For just a
second doubt crossed his mind, but
then he recollected the miniature and
smiled complacently. Out went his
hand to her in frank brotherly greet
ing. Presently he became aware OF
Garrison lowering in the background
shaking a fist at him, and introduced
him with slight momentary confusion.
After which the party gaily drove
home in a cab.
Blake devoted himself to Miss
Gladys with a lover-like ardor which
left nothing to be desired. At the
house the young ladies left them for
few minutes while they departed for
their rooms to make a change OF toilet.
Luckily for Jim the miniature was
still in evidence when they returned,
so that he was sure of his betrothed;
otherwise, even he was forced to con-
fess, there was not pin to choose be-
tween them. While they had been
absent Jim had taken occasion to make
some remarks about the sure instinct
of love for finding its mate. He as
sured Garrison that one glance into
the eyes of his Gladys had set his
doubts at rest entirely, with some more
of the same kind of talk. AS for Gar
rison he simply grinned and hoped
Jim had made no mistake, because he
expected to lay siege to the vacant
heart at once.
BY what he considered most adroit
management Blake succeeded in get
ting a minute alone with his sweet
heart in the hall before he left, but to
his surprise he found that young wom-
an somewhat coy. The reason for 1t
he discovered a few minutes later. AS
they were going down the steps her
sister called him back and handed him
note and sweet, sphinx-like smile.
What the note said was this:
Dear JIM
Do you remember once telling me
that woman had no sense of humor,
that she could not understand joke
| and would not recognize one If she saw
| it walking down the street? | made
up my mind then to play joke on you
that you would never forget. My poor
old Jim! How tell it for laughing?
You have been making love all night
to Nell, whom you have never seen
before. Five times you nave kissed
her to my certain knowledge-poor me,
who have had to put up with one
meager handshake. l want you to be
good friends with my sister, but
think you have gone a little farther
tonight than the conventions demand.
The miniature? Oh, lent it to my sis
ter for the occasion! l hope you will
appreciate the point of this little joke
l am quite sure that your friend Mr.
Garrison will see it. Please call to-
morrow at three-and do not make
any mistakes in identity. Good night
dear old stupid Jim!
Your unkissed sweetheart,
Gladys Harrison.

THE DREADED BACK DRAFT.
One of the Worst Perils That Confront
tho EIranen.
unkissed sweetheart,
Gladys Harrison.

One of the Worst Perils That CONFRONT
the FIrenen.
Next to a dangerous cellar fire
nothing is more dreaded by the men
than what is known in their own Ian
guage as the "back draft" This is a
sudden veering Of the flames, usually
caused by the burning away Of some
portion of the building that gives the
fire renewed draft and changes Its
course completely. The firemen arrive
and find the whole second or third
fioor of building in flames. Axes in
hand, they smash open the doors, and
with the hose dash up the stairway.
This is all afire, and the flames are
rolling above like a red pail. With
the engine at work and good pressure
on the line, the battle between the two
elements-fire and water-begins.
Inch by inch the men fight their way
up the stairway, now to retreat as the
fire gains upon them, and now to ad-
vance as it rolls away for moment,
The encouraging words of the COM
handing officer are heard behind
them urging them on: "Now, get in,
boysl That's it-get in-get in! Make
the next landing! Hit it up boys!
and all the other words of encourage
ment that he usually gives They
finally reach the landing. They are
on the floor with the fire. 1t rolls
toward them, an impenetrable wall OF
fire-the deadly back draft Their
only chance of escape is to throw
themselves upon their faces, in hope
that it may roll over them, or to hurl
themselves down the stairs up which
they have so CALAMITY fought their
way. Better broken leg or arm than
death by roasting, and the water oil
fifty engines could never stay the pro
gress of that awful wave of fame
Many a brave fellow has lost his life
in this manner, and very often all tbs
members of company return with
their eyebrows, hair and beard singed
off, bearing evidence that they havs
been "ketched," as they express 1t, by
less terrible form of this deadly
| draft.-St. Nicholas.
