In fact, except being about the same
height, there was not the smallest re
semblance between the visitor anc
Miles husband.
"Ah, the lettel?' cried Doris; "that's
what so bewidered me-" She turned
to her Harry. "Where is the letter ]
wrote to you by the first post this
morning, addressed to your club, which
you ought to have received"
II did receive it; at 2 o'clock today
when | went to the Acanthus fol
luncheon. l have it now,'-he diveo
into his breast pocket of his great Goa,
-"wby, no! it's gone"
GLOW did it get into my husbands
coa,?" demanded Millie; "that's where
/ found it"
Henry Carew the second took the
letter and envelope Mrs. Carew pro

"This is positively uncany!' be stated
HAS the coat been out of your pos.
session." asked Doris, as he seemed
unable to give any explanation.
,"Let me think. read the letter in
the vestibule and put it in tie breast

coat on peg in the luncheon room
while lunched Then put it on and
went out. No, | didn't. | had hall
an hour to spare, and had a game OF
billiards and gave the coat to waiter,
and be brought it to me when | fin,
ished, and l pnt it on and vert out.
All! Is your husband !. Henry Ca
rew?" inquired the young man of Mile.
"Of course" said Mrs. Carcw, impa-
tiently, "or all this trouble wouldn' t
have arisen"
"Then l belle We l know who your
husband is" was the triumphant reply.
Millie, who in her bewildermcnt, was
beginning to wonder whether the ex-
istence of her Harry was not imagina-
tion on her part, gave him all attention,
and Doris began to think her supposi.
ton that her visitor was crazy might
be incorrect.
Hes Paul Carew, the junior part.
ner of Stephens & Co., the wool brok-
ers?" asked the young man.
Yes, yes" cried Mrs. Carcw, eager
ly, and in her excitement ungramati-
cally added, like the monks when they
spotted the thieving jackdaw, "that's 5
hin!'
"But STILL" continue Miss Forbes
Harry, speaking more to himself than
to bis eager audience, "that doesn't
explain how he got-why, | don't be.
lieve this is my coat!'
He was feeling in the pockets of his
overcoat with puzzled expression,
and looking at season ticket pass
drawn from the ticket pocket.
"Tbat's Harry's ticket! You've got
on his coat" cried Millie, ray OF light
illuminating the puzzle, "and he's got
yours-but they're exactly alike
''Of course they are" said Harry
Carew; "Harry and l patron;ze the
same tailor. He must have been at
the club today, though l didn't see
him, and the waiter mixed up our
coats"
"You know my lusband?"
IL should think l Go. Why, we're
first cousins, and have been great
chums till a year ago, when we quar-

that!"
well, Harry" said Doris, "you've
never told me you bad cousin of the
same name as yourself"
'Haven't l? That's just how we've
drifted apart. l must make it up with
Harry; I'm Harry Solus, he's Henry
Paul Carew. Now, is every thing clear
to you two ladies, and are the charac-

And both the matron and the maid
declared the two Henry Carcws were
completely vindicated
Harry went home with his relation
by marriage to fetch his own overcoat
and return his cousins and then left
with message to his old chum that
he would call on him on the morrow
at his office and make up" tn, ir quar-
rel, and presently Mr.. Carew returned
and Mile made full confession of all
that had happened since his departure.
