 This romance began several months ago when File was eating eggs for breakfast one morning. The shel Of one had name and address upon II, and he copied it before breaking it open. He said nothing to his chum at the time, believing that such mat ters should be kept private. Not more h--eA NbNifAt OA Atth6 ldleE SluOfR was eating the same sort of breakfast food and these was an address upon one of the shells. Like his chum's it had been written with an indelibla Ink. and, although nearly washed of, it was easily decipherable. Sidore wrote letter and said nothiuk to File.
 She Got Their Photos
 By means of the mails two court hs n
 ed exchanging photographs Both Si- dore and File agreed and their photo graphs went west without delay. Tn fact, from the notes that have recent ly been compared it is probable that the Hkenesses reached the young lady on the same day. She immediately sent her picture to both young men.
 Both were charmed with it. It was case of you for me and me for you' with both of them. In fact. they both had it so bad that their friends began to notice a change. Fin ally two proposals brought forth let ters of acceptance.
 One evening while the two were to- gether File chanced to ask his friend what was troubling him.
 Seems as though you might be love-sick.' he ventured. from the manner in which you have been acting for the past few months"
 Don't think I've got anything on you retorted Sidore. Tn fact. you've been going around like a sick pig so long that it's changed your face"
 T think I'll take a trip out west as soon as I can get of" said File. ri just don't feel right, that's all"
 Confession Eases the Strain
 "West!' almost shouted Sidora. ] Why. I've been thinking about that myself Now, on the level, there's girl out there, isn't there?"
 Yep asserted the other. Found ! her address on an egg. Got her pie | ture, too. She lives in Topeka. Kan.
 What" yelled Sidore. Topeka. the address on an egg. Why. the same thing happened to me. I've got | a photograph from her. too"
 Not the same one" confidently as- | sured File. Couldn't be. This one has already said Yes to me"
 Sidore went after his photograph. l He showed it to File and the latter almost tainted The picture he had i produced was the same as his. The | name and address of the original were | identical too.
 Then the chums talked things over. | They were too good friends to scrap. l and realized that one or the other i must lose. They agreed to wait until 1 both can get or for a leave of ab- sence and put the whole matter in the ! hands of the girl The loser is going l to be the best man, it is so decided. i The only thing feared is that the | lady may have a few more mail r. l ances on hand and that one of them will get there first.
