Later Alfred heard his twin come

about his brothers face, so he kept
his eyes closed.
In the morning came a surprise.
Charles countenance bore no smiles.
Instead, he scowled.

But Alfred could not remain away

about which tiny waves played and

Alfred did not seek her society. He
had merely wanted n glimpse of May,

But May turned her head and no

He advanced slowly, n~ervously.
Never had she looked more beautiful

effect rejected his proposal, although
he had never made one.
Come and sit beside me- she IN

means of a long step he gained her
side without landing in the water.
Don't they entrance you-these far
distances?" she asked. See that wide
expanse of blue and there's IA tiny
ship close to the horizon"
They engaged in desultory CONVEX

suddenly May turned on him, with
wide eyes cleaning blue like the sea

in the history of the world as one Of
its most momentous dates. On that
day was formally opened In Washing
ton the conference on Limitation of
ornaments and Far East questions
which. IT ii is successful. will go far
toward curing some of the worst ills
of what we are pleased TO call civili-
zation. The projectors of. and partici-
pants in. this meeting do not enter
tain the illusory hope that 1t will re-
suit Immediately. or even soon. in the
abolishing of warfare. but they do be-
1ieve. n the world trusts. that their
deliberations and agreements will settle
~peaceably the tangled affairs of the
Pacific and the Orient. and so far cut
dow the naval and army programs Of
the great powers that the tax-burdened
peoples will experience a tremendous
financial relief. and the threat of an
other general or ven important war
will he far removed.
II was In the handsome auditorium 90

opening session of the conference was
held. When Secretary of State Hughes
arose 10 call II to order, he faced the
most distinguished assemblage of men
sand women this country ever has seen,
Great Britain, France. Italy. Japan.
Belgium. Holland and China had sent
each some Of her most eminent states

acknowledged Of the first rank. AZ
ter the delegates were the extensive
advisory STATS. and. Of course. the dip
lomatic corps was there in full force.
The members of the senate and house.
invited guests and other privileged
persons filed the hail to overlooking.
Mr.. Hughes. In opening the confer
ence. welcomed formally the foreign
delegates. and stated briefly the oh
jects of the gathering. President Hard
ing then stepped forward and. after
the storm Of applause had subsidized, he
told more at length Of the hopes and
purposes that had led him 10 invite
the powers to this conference. He
spoke persuasiveiy and well even the
most pesslmistic Of his hearers could
ro help but feel that there was a
fair chance that those hopes would he
realized.
After The formalities. the confer

ain. Kept nj home for the present by
the Irish negotiations and the unem-
ployment situation. he cabled to the
government the assurance that he

Alfred's Twin

they suddenly found themselves deal
ing in love.
Nice looking young men were AL
fred and Charley Kearns, but never
had they been sufficiently lured by
feminine charms to plunge into the
sea of matrlmony. They were con-
firmed bachelors, they thought, with
minds for nothing but business.
When at home Kearns & Kearns
took pains to dress decidedly different
because they were twins who looked
almost exactly alike, eve when side
by side, n they were anxious to
avoid complications in their dealings
with patrons.
BY some stroke of good fortune "A
man came to work for the firm who
was exceptionally reliable and pro-
gressive, and the twins decided they
would go on a frolic and leave him In
charge. During their five years of
business moi one vacation had they
attempted, and they thought 1t was
high time they tasted of a little recre-
alton. So they went together to the
northern resort.
ONA a ihiNt AltN saw opDOILulll-
ties for fun in their looking alike, so
they dressed exactly the same in sum
mer buds.
The trouble all started one afternoon
while Alfred was walking along the
lake shore in quest of oddities in beach
stones. A young woman engaged in
the same pastime almost bumped into
him, because both their heads were
down us they searched the shore line,
and they struck up an acquaintance
ship. She was a pretty girl, who was
summering with an aunt in a lake
shore cottage, and she had some fas-
cinating ways about her. Alfred es-
corted her home and learned her name
was May Winters. He arranged to see
her again a few nights hence.
The very next afternoon May re-
sumed her hunt for beach stones, and
1t so happened that Charles Kearns
was out for a stroll In the same local
ity. She called to him, and naturally
he responded and hurried to her side,
although he wondered at her action.
The ensuing conversation served as
an explanation, and Charles did not
say he was moi Alfred. The brothers
were out for n lark so whv misc this
opportunity.
Charles old Alfred of the incident
and they agreed to continue the de-
ception for a short time. 1t was not
quite right. of curse, but no doubt
May Winters was a summer flrt and
1t would do no harm to teach her a
lesson.
But, ala for the success of the
lark! kearns * kearns fell In love,
and the trouble began. Alternately
they called upon her and took her
canoeing and to dances, and by agree
ment the one who was not so engaged
kept to his room in order to avoid
complications.
