He had proved q tough nut. however, and had driven the gang off in a battered condition. William Brown exactly fitted the description of one of the trio. or course he vigorous ly denied the charge and raised a strong doubt but when he was placed in line with twcIre other men the mer- chant walked straight up to him and said:
 You are the man who entered the store first and asked me 10 change a twenty dollar bill for vou."
 "You are making a serious mistake" " replied Brown. "I can prove that I was in Tcrc Uaute the night you were assau.tci.'

BROWNS FIVE DOUBLES
 By NJ QUAD Copyright. 1914. by Associated LlJ-
 eTuTy Press.

At tho age of thirty and still unmar- rrna William Brown made visit to a western state. Up to tue day be left home he had never been out Ot the -.rr of Vermont. His adventures be- .r.m fn Chicago. He was sitting iu the office or a hotel when a grim faced man entered aud walked up to him and began:
 "yau internal sCoundrel, but l feel like killing you where you sit"
 "What do you mean" asked Mfr. Brown in great astonishment
 "vnv. you measly apology for man. how dare you ask thut question" shouted the stranger. If you think voa have got safely ont of that affair vou are mistaken. I'll have revenge on y5u if have to live a thousand years to do it.'
 It was a long time before William Brown could get to the bottom Of thfu-< Then he discovered that he was sun7osed to be Henry Williams, who bad been hanging about a certain vfrIa-o fifty miles away for several months and who had become engaged to the village belle. borrowed money right and left and proved himself to he d had man in many directions. The man who was talking to Brown was 1 inc girls father and he had been look inr Chicago over for a week before the yermontcr's arrival. The first I,frr. of course. was a prompt denial. ] The next was for Brown to prove his l identity.
 When Brown had established his identity he went his way, cOnsoling himself with the thought that not more than one man in the world could . look near enough like him to be a twin brother but three days later he found thar it was mistake. He was in . Evansville to see a certain person and
 vas talking business in the mans of-
 fee when he was arrested on a war rant made out in the name of Richard Roe. which charged him with hay ing passed counterfeit money on liV- cry stable man two months before.
 He lay in jail for three days, and then
 hIs case came up for examination.
 Brown was in a fair way to be convict
 ud when dentist saved him. It was
 remembered that the drummer had
 had tooth pulled before he started on |. the drive The dentist had also found 1 two or three others which needed ill- iugs. The minute he looked into l Browns mouth he declared that he
 could not be the man.
 Browns third adventure was more . funny than serious. A day or two aft 1 er leaving Evansville, as he was rid
 ing in a passenger coach, a woman
 boarded the train at a station and .. came along down the aisle and greet
