But certain branches of nomadic disposition had seen it to venture over and, weight ed down with luscious fruit, were brooding over the territory by the roadside.

 As he did so slight sound star- tied him. A girl, black -haired girl, suddenly popped up from the other side of the wall. The fingers of Ray alton Augustus Herring closed on empty air. His hand came down with guilty sWiftness and for lack of anything better to do with it, he put it in his pocket.
 "Oh," he said. "Oh-er-ar-um i. beg your pardon"
 More of the girl appeared. He per- ceived that she had great iris-col- ored eyes that put him in mind of the sea at sundown, and a wide mouth which looked as if it wanted to laugh.
 "Go on," she said, regarding him semberly. Don't let me stop you"
 "Well, I really-you know, I was-, nt. That is, if you'll let me explain ." Royalton stopped, aware that he was jittering.
 T see," said the girl. You didn't want an apple. You were just mea- sllring something! Making a cal- ctlation. perhaps?"

 You mean they're twins?"
 She nodded. "Even worse. They're dead ringers for each other. Not only that, they dress alike, think alike, act alike. That's why I say that if I marry one, it's the same as marrying the other"
 Royalton puffed in silence for minute.
 Tt ought to be easy," he said at last. 'Why don't you grab the first one you see and call it day? No use racking your brain. One pins the same as another"
 The iris eyes seemed to take on 8 sober look. But if you're not sure whether you want pin .."
 "Ah," said Royalton, wondering why the sun should appear so bright. That's another story"
 The next instant the clouds blew up.
 "But I guess I've got to want one," said the girl. That explains the golf ball."
 Mot to me, it doesn't"
 "Well don't know why I'm tell ing you all this," she said. But it's like this: I'm going to marry either Ronald or Wilfrid. By that I mean, only one of them will be the bride groom. You understand that of

 She picked ID the ball.

 "Yes. But on second thought, it looks more like Wilfrid. Ronald cuts them deeper.v E T see." said Royalton brayely.
 The girl laughed. "You couldn't possibly. You don't know Ronald and Wilfrid."
 Come to think of it, you're right" said Royalton. "Who are theyT
 "Theyq Oh, they're my fiances."
 "Eh?"
 My fiances. The man I'm going to marry"
 "Fiances2 Ronald? Wilfrid? The man you're going to marry?" Roy- alton sank down on the running board of his car. Look here, you'll forgive me if appear a lit- tie dumb. But don't think I've tumbled yet. Now let's get together. Have g cigaret first"
 Thanks" said the girl, joining him on the running board. WELL, now, as get it the posi- " ton is this: There's Ronald and Wilfrid and they're both your fiances. But, being old-fashioned, you're only going to marry one of them. We'll, somebody's going to get the thin end, aren't they?"
 Mot necessarily" The girl shrug- ged. You see, if I marry Ronald I'm practically marrying Wilfrid. And if I marry Wilfrid well, to all intents and purposes, I've mar ried Ronald. Get it?"
 Royalton Augustus shook his

 Royalton nodded. "It's all right so far"
 But I can't decide which. So we're settling it on Saturday-with a golf match"
 Ronald against Wilfrid, eh? So they're golfers?'
 'They are not" said the girl dis dainfully. They're the worlds worst, both of them. You should see the lawn. Fathers nearly crazy"
 ''I begin to see. Ronald and Will frid are here, practicing."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-22

Suddenly Royalton looked at her. A wisp of dark hair was chivying her left earlobe. Her profile was straight and fine, ending in an Ill- take-care -of-myself chin. And all at once, he knew. This was the girl. To end girls. At the same time line having to do with faint hearts and fair ladies crowded into his mind. By gosh, this thing mustn't be.
