Evening had come again.
 In fact. it was almost bedtime. Frances and sat before the hearth in the library. looking silently into the red heart of the dying emhers of fragrant pine cones. For in the heights of the Pocantico Hills it often is chilly on summer nights.
 My darling sat on low fauteuil. her chin resting upon her hand. her beautiful eyes fixed dreamily, in serHtably, upon the fading coals. In her lap lay the spread Of the crimson pajamas.
 She was thinking -thinking--I won- dered what, And was thinking how jolly rum it all was; that Francis wasn't Frances. that the professor wasn't Billings. Colonel Francis Kirk- land wasn't Foxy Grandpa and wasn't the frump's father after all: and that the trump. herself-bless her. her name was Elizabeth-wasnt Frances and wasn't Q trump at all. but Just jolly. nice. homely old dear. you know And I was trying to catch and hold SOAA.N CA sa41 RNd&1A AhStl luiISS IHe professor had dtscoursed upon about ancient Occidental what 8 its.name. and astral bodies. ohsession, psy. chical resarch and all that Sor, of thing.

Come on back. dearest" he pleaded. You have been dreaming"
 And under the light of a great reo cluster of grapes, pendent from the mouth of grinning Bacchus, l recog- nized with horror the yellow mat Of hair and freckled face of Billings cub brother. On the instant. with a bull like roar. Billings sprang forward. but l was quicker still. But fleeter than either of us to reach the scene were the two elderly men, together with Miss Warfield, the housekeeper, and a couple of maids. Frances darted like bird to Foxy Grandpa. and then the figures of the women shut her from view
 Billings and l had paused. halfway to the landing. IL looked as though the elder Billings was amply capable of handling the occasion now. He had backed the youth against the wall be- hind and his language was of a kin& l hated to have my darling hear Every time the other offered to ex postulate. his father broke out again
 You are disgrace to an houored name!" be roared. And the only ex- planation left for me to offer our guests is that you are drunk and don't know where you are,"
 .Oh, father," faltered the boy. And then he turned his black shrouded figure to L4e pale marble against which he leaned and seemed to me his very heart would sob away
 Whats the matter. dad?" came q voice from the head of the stairway What In thunder is all the row about?''
 By George'" gasped Billings. Ev- eryhody looked upward-one of the women screamed. For there. slowly advancing down the angle leading to the landing. his yellow mop of hair shining above the dark collar Of a dressing-robe, was the duplicate ot the youth covering under the elder Billings wrath.
 And out of a dead, tense silence, came his voice again:
 Cant any Of you speak," He touched the figure on the shoulder Who are you?" he asked in all odd, strained voice.
 The black figure turned toward him face agonized in grief.
 II don't know" came a voice pitt fully-his voice, 1t seemed.
 The cub just stood like a statue for moment-stood as we all stood Then slowly his hand went out and touched the hand of his double Slowly his fingers swept the face, the hair: grad ually his eyes closed, as though he were sensing by touch alone.
 Suddenly a loud cry leaped from his throat.
 Sister" he shouted And he swept the black figure to him.
 Then. tossing back his head. the youth faced us with blazing. angry eyes, looking as David must have. when he faced old what s-his-name.
 If there's a man among you. I'd like to know what this means?" he cried.
 There was a blank silence for an instant, and then
 Perhaps l can explain" said a voice
 And up the stairway advanced Pro lessor Doozenberry.
