member her name. He skirmished for
time to think it UP.
'T certainly do remember you, hav-
ing passed some time with you very
pleasantly last evening. But am not
sure that you have not mistaken me
for some one else. F"
How ridiculousr'
''Who am %

this way for purpose"
''I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll make

James Smithson Hawksworth."
Have you pencil and paper?"
Jim tore bit of paper from letter
and handed it her with a pencil. She
wrote the name he had given her on
the paper and put it in her bag.
81 agree to your terms" she said
But, mind. if there is any catch /
won't pay. Now tell me who l am
You're Miss Turnlee.
Jim bowed himself away and pro-
ceeded to put a plan he had in his
mind into operation. His brother Bill
had returned from South America a
few days before. and the two were still
alike as two peas In pod Jim went
home, where he found Billie. whom he
told Of his agreement, adding:
Nov. Bill, wish you to call on the
girl tomorrow night, personating me.
The next night will call on her my
SELF
Bill assented and the next evening.
after being thoroughly coached by his
brother, made the call. He asked the
young lady to write his name ON bit
OF paper, which she did, and before
handing 1t to him she took care to COM
pare 1t with the name Jim had given
her.
The next day the twins had their
photographs taken standing side by
side. AS soon as the pictures were de-
livered Jim put one OF them In his
pocket and, with a written statement
from his brother that he had called on
Miss Turnlee on certain date. went
to see her himself. Miss Turnlee, who
could not divest her mind OF the sus
picion that some trick was being play
ed upon her, was a bit ratified. She
was looking for some difference In her
writing the names on the two different
occasions. After chatting awhile, dur
ing which period she scarcely heard
what Jim said, he drew the paper on
which she had written the name when
bis brother had called and. handing 1t
to her, asked her to write his name be-
low the one she had written before.
This time she was in no hurry. She
studied the name she had written, COM
pared it with the one Jim had given
her and held the first paper to the light
looking at it and through it Jim
handed her pencil, but she refused it,
seeming to suspect that there might
be something wrong in it After much
thought and hesitation she wrote the
name under the one she had already
written. but even then she seemed
loath to part with the paper. However.
q time came when she reluctantly sur
rendered it.
"I suppose now it will depend on my
not mixing you up with the other Wis
itor. If you have played me fair

All / have to do is to say when he
comes that he is not you. When is he
comingg
''He has been here"
Been herer' Miss Turnlee looked
fncredulou.s.
HE was here some time ago. He is
my twin brother. .
He drew the photograph of himself
and his brother and showed it TO her
with blank stare; then. the explana-
ton coming to her. she exclaimed re
proachfully:
That's not fair
Jim admitted that if was biz
tricky and said that he would not hold
her to her bargain unless she preferred
to be held
what forfeit am to payy' she
asked.
Jim did not reply at once. The lady's
curiosity was aroused. She urged him
''Yourselfr' he said at last.
Miss Turnlee did not pay at once but
she did in time-not. she said. because
she had lost fairly. but because Jim
assured her that If she did not his life
would be wrecked
