A Singular Meeting.

This story Is not only founded on
fact-it Is fact only It IS put in story
form and the names are fictitious.
In the latter part OF the last century
steamer crossing the Atlantic was
lost by collision IN fog. Among the
passengers never heard from were q
lady and her little daughter.
Twenty-Five years passed. One sum-
mer ''want adj" appeared in a news
paper stating that lady desired the
position OF chaperon to young people
on. trip to Europe. This led to the
engagement Of Miss Adella Craven to
take charge Of two young girls, Teresa
Fay and Rachel Cunningham.
These three were one day visiting
one of the art museums In Dresden.
Miss Fay stood looking at a picture
which seemed TO interest her. and
while she was doing so Miss Craven.
Che chaperon, came up.
"A copy OF that picture is in fathers
collection at home" said Miss Fay.

Craven. ''It has been a part my sur

Whether there was something in the
picture connecting the two or what
was the reason. from the time OF this
conversation about 1t there seemed to
be something in the voice or the man
ner or the walk Of her chaperon that
was familiar to Miss Fay The incl
dent led the two to chat upon family
matters connected with the past, and.
there was singular sameness in GER
tain events pertaining to both families.
While there was some sixteen years
difference in the ages of the two. there
sprang up q lively friendship between
them. 1t became evident that Instead
of a friendship during the trip they
would more likely be intimate for life
Miss Cunningham met friends, Joined
