SYNOPSIS.

Lord Wilfred Vincent and Archibald
Terhune are introduced at the opening of
the story, in England, the latter relating
the tale. The pair on an outing miss
Their train and seeking recreation meet
the Honorable Agatha Wyckhoff." Her
hand is much sought after, because of
her wealth. On visiting the Wyckhoff
castle they are introduced to two other
girls, both known as Agatha Wyckhoff
AT dinner three other Agatha Wyckhoffs
are introduced and the plot revealed
The deceased step-father, in an eccentric
moment, made his will so that the real
Agatha, heiress to his fortune and the
castle at Wye, England, might wed her
affinity. Thus Mrs. Armistead. chaperon,
was in duty bound to keep the real
Agatha's identity unknown and sutors
were invited to tryout for the hand of the
heress. An attempt by Terhune to gath
er clew from the chaperon fails. Vim
cent shows liking for the chaperon's Sec
rotary Miss Marsh. Terhune finds old
books containing picture of a former
Baroness Wyckhoff, which is exactly
like Agatha Sixth, whom ne is counting.
Vincent entertains them all and while
riding with Agatha Fifth she confesses
her love for him and also that she is the
zeal heiress. He spurns her proposal.

Harold's mother-we'll call him Har-

ing Harold under the somewhat I'M
substantial control of his elder sisters
In spite of the itemized directions
with which even unto the moment of

to lombard him, Harold's mother was
far from sure that her efforts would
have any lasting effect.
Her voyage was more or less dis
turbed by these doubts, but before
she landed on the other side she had
determined on course of action. Like
all small boys, Harold is most COW
etous Of picture postcards and had
looked forward to harvest from his
mothers trip. He got it.
Every day she sent at least one
card. And whatever else it bore in the
way of inscription, there was not one

my favorite Agatha Sixth on my right
and Agatha Third on my left.
Suddenly, as the talk died down
and certain contented silence fell
upon us, Vincent rose to his feet, and
bowling to us formally, began to speak:

gular, while the girls all laughed, II

every maid at the table, and they all
sighed heard them-"as l look upon

and think of the graciousness of such
hospitality, am inspired to propose
a toast in which | feel confident you
will all join me-" At this climax Vim
cent raised his glass above his head.
ITO the real Agatha!" he cried-"to
the real Honorable Agatha!"
There was an instant of dead ST.
lence, and then to my surprise my
left-hand neighbor, Agatha Third, rose
to her feet, and, with quivering lips,
started TO say something. But she had
hardly time to rise before the other
five girls sprang to their feet and
raising their glasses, Agatha Third
with the rest, they cried with one
voice: "To the Honorable Agatha!"
and although it seemed to me that
Agatha Third had very nearly let the
cat out of the bag by rising, as IL to
acknowledge the courtesy, yet by the
promptness of the other girls the day
was partially retrieved, and Vincent
and l were still somewhat at loss
as to the identity of our fair and
wealthy hostess.
