rolled lu. He was expecting a friend who did not come. But some one else l came, who proceeded to disarrange the ! precision Or MT. Youug's ueCkwegr and ] otherwise ruGe his eQuauimity. A young lady, plainly but neatly dressed, descended from ear, and, her glance 1 lighting on the gentleman in question, she rushed toward him, threw her arms l about his neck and covered his face with kisses.
 Now, while young men are not usual 1 ly averse to being kissed they don't like to be taken by surprise Mr. Young made an effort to disengage 1 himself from the embrace, at least so | far as to get a look at the kisser. This 1 surprised the girl. and she, too, drew away. Then a color rose to her cheek, 1 and. covering her face with both hands, 1 she turned and ran away as fast as she | could. The first thing Mir Young did after her departure was to reaTauge his dis0rdered ucckwear. Then he missed a srarfpm with a handsome pearl set In it that had been there be- l fore the sudden attack. Rushing after ! the girl, he caught her just as she was | leaving the station. 'Tu trouble you for my scarrpin," " he said.
 | She looked up. marks of distress and confusion still on her face. "I mis- took you for my brother" she said.
 My scarrpIn. Give it to me at once or I will call a policeman" ] The girls manner changed In twin kling. Her eyes flashed ominously. "How dare you, sir"
 "Tm used to such games" he re- torted
 You certainly must be. Such peo- | pie being your associates, you would not be expected to know a true lady when you see one" At that moment Young saw bis pin hanging head down from a bit of Hn- geCIe under lhe lady's throat He snatched is away from her and put it in his scarf. She appeared to be very much astonlshed, too much astonIshed In fact to speak. When she did she said:
 Tt must have got caught in the lace when I'-
 Plugged ue." She stamped her foot and flashed at him like 8 tigress. Then, obeying 8 sudden thought, she opened her pocket ] book and, taking out a card. handed lt 1 to him. When he had read It the as 1 touishment was transferred from the l girl to him.
 Are you Ralph Roswelrs sIster?'
 "I am."
 "Ie was my chum at college"
 T am very much surprised to hear l #. 1 supposed that be never ass0ci- ated with young men who were iuti- mate with women who play games" Young looked uncomfortable. His ! hand went up to his hat and he uu- covered deCcrentally.
 "I suppose owe you au apology" he said.
 'NO apology will be accepted"
 "Tha circumstances were deceiving. You must admit that l had apparent cause for "AItstal,iug me for a thiefE'
 1.-the fact is''- He took out his handkerchief and wiped the prrsplra- ton from his forehead. "Is there any atonemeut I can maker"
 None whatever. One who mistakes a lady fer a common swindler-aoud. dence women l believe they are ca'leI commits an npardouable siu." With this she turned contemptuousIy and strode away Young followed her.
 "Lcave mo at once or 1 will call a DO. llceman."
 "I would rather go to jail than part in this way"
 That would be no hardship. You would be with your acknowledged as sOciates.'
 Young concluded to make d masked attack in flank.
 "EaIph and look so much alike that in college they called us the twins
 There's not the slightest resem- blance."
 How. then, did you come to mis- take me for him| "I-he-was to meet me.
 By love. there comes Ralph now, hurrying along to reach the station be- fore the train arrives. How tue deuce are we to explain being together when he knows I've never been introduced to you-ueyer have seen youT' The girl wiuced.
 Leave him to me. Hello, old boy. Whats the matter with your watchT Brother and sister kissed, the sister with restraint
 "How did you two know each oth- er?" asked the brother.
 "Know each other" replied Bayard. why, you see 1t was the likeness"
 What IikeuessF' In prevarlcatIon a woman can al ways give points to a man. The girl came in to save the day. "Why, your friend couldn't help seeing the family resemblance between you and me"
 You're as like as twins" Young put in. "Your sister looked so cresnallen I couldn't help taking care of her"
 I'm glad you were good to her"
