there was really one hew one sprung
today
There are two young men in this
city VINO are in the habit of taking
just a little something to warm up
their internal workings ana to be So
ciable. especially the latter. Upor. con-
sideration this morning as to what they
would do about the matter, for re-
trospectiOn showed they were fast get
ting in the way of spending a large
part of their salaries just treating,
they decided that something must be
done.
1t was finally decided that treating
to drinks was foolish and that treat
ing to socks, neckties and handker-
chiefs would be great deal more to
the point and would mean a saving Of
much money to all concerned.
So when they had finished talking
and felt thirsty and sOciable. instead
of going to the nearest saloon, they
repaired to a we'll known haberdashery
where the conversation ran something
like this:
Have one on me old man? Whatll
it be?'

SYNOPSIS.

Lord Wilfred Vincent and Archibald
Cerhune are introduced at the opening of
he story, in England the latter relating
he tale. The pair on an outing miss
heir train and seeking recreation meet
the Honorable Agatha Wyckhoff,"
whose hand is much sought after, be-
.ause of her wealth. Five other Agatha
Wyckhoffs are introduced. The deceased
,tepfather. in an eccentric moment, made
his will so that the real Agatha, heiress
o his fortune and the castle at Wye.
England, might wed her affinity. Thus
Mrs. Armistead, chaperon, was in duty
sound to keep the real Agatha's identity
unknown. An attempt by Terhune to
gather a clew from the chaperon fails.
rerhune finds old books containing pic
ure of former Baroness Wyckhoff,
which is exactly like Agatha Sixth, whom
lie is counting. Agatha Fifth confesses her
owe for Vincent and also that she is the
'eal heiress. He spurns her proposal.
Many clews to identity of the real
Agatha prove fruitless. Agatha Fifth
alter confesses she is not the heiress.
More apparently unfailing clews material
re. Vincent confesses love for Mrs.
Armistead's secretary, Miss Marsh, who
old Terhune she is married. Miss Marsh
then discloses startling information that
Agatha Sixth is the real heiress. How
sver, Vincent, determined to marry Miss
Marsh, is partly persuaded by Terhune
20 desist in his courtship because of diff
terence In their stations.
