 No one. excepting the sick restored to health. has reason to feel more thankful for that wonderful advance science has made within the last ten or .,.wcnty years than l. But right here In the beginning ! must break away from my subject Co tell story.
 Margaret May charmed mo by what consider the higher traits She was sober girl of an intellectual type, with excellent principles and elevated ideals. am not man to be pleased with a gay frolicsomc girl however kind hearted. however winning lt was. therefore, natural that ] should yield to the characteristics of Marga- ret. We became engaged, and every thing looked well for our future happi- ness when my uancce began Co show succession of singular changes. One evening when ! went Go sec her she bounded into thc room like holden. threw her arms about my neck, kissed me several times in rapid succession and. beginning with "Nou bad boy upbraldcd me for not having come earlier. When l asked her for what she had wished me, she said that cir GUS had come to town. and she was dying" to attend that evenings per formancc Astonishcd, l asked her ii the next night would mot do as we'll She saij iJ would not and when ! pressed her for a reason rhn only one she could gI,c Was chat sha couldn't wait.
 It was altogether too late ro go Co the circus tha. evening, SO spent tae rest oft with her m Che o.av ...rury where we had passed so many happy hours often taking book after book from thr shelves. rambling iu hem together and calling each others attention to favor. ltc passages. But alas, there was mo such enjoyment for us tonight Mar garrt spoke or che books as "mus,E dusty things" u which she had mo .n- tcrest and Insisted iu talking only upon the mos, frivolous topics.
 It is needless Co say that 1 was not only disapr bu, shocked Could this bc my steady well balanced, in- trllccual Tgrgnre.. was inclined ,odouDlil Could l. uc her twin sister! . | knew thac she had u' twin sister. ! endured her nra.Hr as long as ] was able: then. telling her chat had some work Co do before going Co bed. ] rose to go.

 ~Coru.a.y if you wish iD" ! replied and when l could escape from am cN- uneuu.e of unwa#us l.Er her.
 That night and tne next day my brain was ia a turmoil ! was like man who had Jos, l.s love- , broojcd instead uC working l.H after office hours uud fu ,le evening called Co take Nwara. On rlo circus The maid who received me at thr door went upstairs Co announce me and. rc- turning. told mc that Miss May was not feeling we'll and had gone to bed. Tloru was uU message O. dIsappoiut. mout at missing tlr performance nor ut not seeing mu Indeed, Che maid told me that sln thought her mistress bad not expected me that evening. This would have been natural had it not been for the engagement since l It was am evening | seldom called.
 The next of my usuu. weekly visits was Sunday. and called threading Co again Gud the holden. was agree ably disappointed. Margaret was her usual self except that she showed ! signs of oycrsrrainoI nerves. Some thing told mo Co refrain from mention ing her singular personality when ] had last snru her. Go wal, and observe. During the yist. and lhc next two visits she was her own sweet self. bar. ring her altered health. Finally ] rc- ] fcrrcd Co her desire Go visit the circus. . She seemed surprised, mysddcd and when I told her the whole story said, with a nervous wcmor "Oh. she'll ruin mel"
 "Was som, one else than you with me that cyouIngs" ] asked
 "Ycs-uo. l was with you, but she dominated me-" And she hurried out of the room.
 ] was not admitted Co see Margaret indeed. l did mo, care Co see her; l was dissatisHed-ro a month Then called on her. What was my sur prise to find h.r a different person from either of tla two l had known. From tuc moment wc met she talked Of womeu's rights. womcUs voting, womcu's superiority t0 men and final . Iy told mc that I iaJurGoruI with her in any of these objects lo which she proposed Co Gcyo,, har life we must proceed by separate paths.
 IIcfr her maddcugd Had l not been puzzled as well would have broken my engagement then and there, but curiosity prevented. Several months passed in which l continued Co visit her. hoping that she would settle down into her old personality rcsolutcly When she was another would turn away from her. when she was my own .
