you, and it will lead to nothing but
trouble for you. Vane Hamilton re-
turned long ago, is re-established
among us firmly in the confidence
Of all. There is no doubt,
none whatever, that he is the true
Vane Hamilton. Your claims would
be looked upon as absurd, to say
nothing of their wickedness. You are
well known as Primus Edes, a man Of
good character, and a good workman.
Let me advise you again not to
jeopardize your interests by a mad
act founded on your admiration for a.

HAS she said SOP
e.Not exactly, but she might as well,

my name"
| Rumors of this sort had come to
| the ears of the busy doctor as we'll as
concerning the interest said to exist
at one time between Edes and Mrs.
Hamilton; but he had not thought
much about the matter, believing ii
gossip with little or no foundation in
fact. But now he saw, or fancied he
saw, his mistake. This eager-faced
energetic man was far different
| person than he had supposed him to
| be. He was a man clearly capable of
making and supporting claim Of a
nature SO astounding that, improbable
as it was. it could not fail to create
wide disturbance. IF Mrs. Hamilton

mans case; and there were conp1i-
cations relating to the late bank
troubles which, no doubt, could be
brought to bear upon it likewise.
Moreover, the man before him, DR..
Peck considered, might be Ashley
himself, who by some strange mis-
take was believed to have died. It
was not unlikely. In the light Of
these astounding claims it was very
probable, he thought.
A man such as Ashley was proved
to have been-for the story of his
adventures was well known in Grove
dale-was the man, if any such could
be found, to prosecute such claim
like this; his adventures evincing a
most daring nature and great nerve
and determination. Granted he had
fled to Grovedale to evade pursuit,
disguised himself to appear as slight
ly demented, and as common work
man, it was not too much to believe
of such a man that he had become in
fatuated with Mrs. Hamilton and
sought to claim her as his wife, bas-
ing his actions on her attitude toward
her returned husband and his slight
resemblance to the latter. Then, too,
the shot fired on Mr.. Hamilton's
premises might well have been done
by his own hand to evidence his own
assertion that the design was to get
rid Of him and his claims. which
would suggest that Hamilton did it
himself.
Dr. Peck was no lawyer, nor did
he reckon himself particularly astute,
but as he sat there facts and deduc-
| tons evolved themselves whit start
ling force and rapidity, mingling and
| commingling in the widest confusion
! until his brain seemed bursting.
| Strange how dormant ideas start into
being and range themselves side by
| side to do battle for or against a
startling assertion. A luminous path
seemed. open to his vision, leading
straight to the time when Vane Ham
| ilton left home in the first place, and
he saw clearly the long line Of events
since then down to this strange dec
laration just made to him. Back of
1t all was deep, dark mystery. Viii
lainy was there, sorrow could not
be far distant, and for every one con-
cerned in the matter there would be
a suspense maddening and extreme.
| Indignation arose in his heart
| toward the man before him. 1t be-
| came in an instant too deep for ex-
preston, and he arose without speak
| ing another word and left the house.

Mrs. Hamilton with a sage nod, as If
there was nothing to be alarmed at in
such rawlings.

ably, Il am as sane as you are.

ago. Have you forgotten giving me
out Of my stomach afterwards?"
The doctor looked bewildered.

cline to this lady's husband"
Exactly, and am her husband"
A burning blush stole over the face
Of Constance, and she arose to go with
out so much as q glance at either man.
DR.. Peck stood staring until she was
gone and for some time afterward.
Then he said, sternly: "You have
driven her from the room with your
rawlings. Mrs. Hamilton is a most es-
Unable lady"
ST ought to know as much about
my wife as anybody, DR.. Peck. There

Mr.. Hamilton, and that he was a diff

always supposed that my brother died
in infancy. Can you prove that he
did not? 2"
81 prove that he did not! You are
that brother and not I. Before our
mother died she asked me to search
for you two weeks of every year, for
she would never believe you dead, al
tho every one else did. You were
stolen in infancy. She gave me the
| ring you wear on your finger, in trust
for you. The words in trust are
engraved on the inside.
Everybody in Grovedale knows
that. Perhaps you will tell me how
this ring came upon my finger if 1t
was delivered into your keeping
Il cannot. I confess 1t is a mys-
terry. It is also mystery how you be-
came possessed of my papers. I can
| much easier account Tor your resem-
blance, for we are twin brothers"
II deny it. 1 deny that there was
any reason for such a search, or that
my mother believed her child to be
alive. She knew he was dead. You
! know full well that the reason why I
| went away each year is not known to
anybody yet, not even to my wife,
and so you have trumped up this
story Of relationship for your own
purpose. When the proper time
comes I may, or may not, tell why I
went away. There may be found lit
tie mystery about it. A mans affairs
are his own, and he is accountable to
no one for them except to God and
| his conscience. I shall not be
| coerced into making them known"
Mr.. Carter nodded with approval
and said:
| .sveru true, vane. Still, I wish you
had explained those trips to Con-
stance" But he was unheeded, for
Mr.. Hamilton was saying:
"You perceive that your statements
affect me very little, nor will they any

as Primus Edes was up and about and
protested himself we'll. He said little
abount his wound, but it was we'll
known that he had said once he knew
nothing about it in any way, it having
occurred before he regained his sense
Of Identity. It was remarked that he
had shaved off his long Whiskers, and
that he looked and acted much more
like Vane Hamilton than he had done
at first, and it was easy to conceive in
any case that he would desire to stanp
any natural resemblance with the seal
of actuality If he could.
His eyes were doWncast no longer,
but bright and determined; his head
was carried SO erect that he looked
taller by an inch or two, and there
was a swing in his movements resem-
bling his prototype, but which had
never before been noticeable in Pri-
mus Edes. Taken all in all had his
hair been light-colored, and a stones
weight added to give more fulness
to face and figure, he would have
presented a. striking likeness to the
Vane Hamilton known to GrovedaIe
people as the cashier of the savings
bank, and to the man who first laid
claim to the name and still resided I'M
der the same roof with Mr.. Carter, tho
Mrs. Hamilton and her children were
domiciIed at the Essex House.
Almost the first move that Edes
made was to go to the mill and de-
man to see "the man known as Vane
Hamilton"
Shall you see him?" asked Mr..
Carter.
Eyes, it may as well be now as later.
Will you remain ?''
IF you wish me to-
ST do.'
At this moment Edes entered and
confronted the two men. He held out
his hand to Mr.. Carter, who, however,
did not appear to see 1t.
Very well, uncle. You will see
your act in it's true light some day.
said the former workman with so
much dignity that Mr.. Carter stared
at him.
oh, come now! That's all bosh
| my man. You'd much better be saw
ing lumber than trying to prosecute
an absurd claim
"Do you think SOP asked Edes
looking full in the face Of the other
man, who sat silent but alert.

anything you have to say in support
| Of your claim, for, own, am curl.
Gus to understand it,
"You know all about it now. II

The burglar got into the Price fiat
by forcing the hall door and collected
a lot Of silverware to carry away with
him. This he packed into grip, Ieav-

clock and decided to take the time
