‘E OR TWO? MARY DEANE IN LONDON SOCIETY. CHAPTER L One evening in the April of 1884, the Scare ‘was trundling siow!y in from San Paolo Fuerl | Murl. The flickering light of the lamps fell upon ‘the dingy babite of six monks op their customary ‘Way into Rome for the night, a couple of peasants and two foreigners, the one an English gentleman Of about thirty, the other an American somewhat Younger. A thunder storm was without, large t ‘thickly upon | Grops of rain were already falling iy upor the windows which the light within turned to} Slate color. A lighy cloud of tobacco smoke was curling about the heads of several of the passen- | gers, the American's big cigar out-doing the | Cigareties of the othera He bad soon found out | ‘that the Englishman had been visiting the English | cemetery at the request of a friend he had left in ‘Naples, and not to see Keats’ tomb, which had Deen bis own object. This led him to ask as many questions about Naples as he could think of and | twexpress his curiosity concerning the object of a independent traveler Baving chosen that time for visiting Naples, then heavily stricken with | cholera, . | “They quarantined you, sir, I guess,” he re-| marked. “I was fearfully ted,” answered the Ep- jliskman. Then be went on .o extol the wonder- | fal exertions of his friend, the Swedish doctor | there, and to say that be himself had fallen tll and bad been sent aWay as no longer of any use. | ‘The subject Was interesting, and they discussed It | until au interruption occurred. ‘The bell sounded, the car stopped, and a man entered quickly, with the rain running down in Fils from bis bat and shoulders, and seated him- self opposite tue two, who, like himself, were for- ‘bere 13 always something that strikes one as weird in a lighted vebicie moving along through a dark night. The contrast of the rain, darkness and storm mutterings without, and the glitter Within, in which the sent uving Ngures showed up tn vivid light and shade, struck the Eugitsh- an with fresh force, a8 the new comer arrested Dis special attention by something he could Seareely define, and at once attracted and re- ulsed him. More tuan once he caught his som- Driliiant eyes fixed upon him under the shade | of sfelt hat. An absurd fancy struck him that be Was traveling With a belug from another world, ‘who Was somehow bound up in his own fate. He Watcbed him furtively, and saw him lean forward | with an tndifferent air, to read the initials on the ‘sumall Vailse he himself had between his feet. The American, Who had done the same, observed this | oo, and said to hts neighbor, “Now, sir, 1 never Feuember seeing such queer ‘letters! as ‘yours for the faitials of an Englisuman, as I take you to be.” The young man Lughed silghtly at this trank curiosity. “0. @ Q Well, pernaps it 1s an un- usual comoination, I never heard of another Tamily called by my name, Questin, though for ‘aii that we donot boast any special blueness in our blood.” ‘The car stopped again, and the conductor looked | in, gesticulating to the latter comer. He, however, Shook his head, and signed to him to goon, and nd One got out until the car reached its resting piace. “Sir,” said the American, as le stepped off the car, “there is my card. Ifyou ever come to the states, there is one man there who wili give you a Welcoine, of any other man who has been risking is life by his own tree will among cholera victims, as I guess you b. nd that man is Septimus s. | Perkins.” Wherewith he nodued, and sipping | bis card into the other man’s hand, disappeared under his umbrelia. ‘The Englishmen did the like and thought no | more of S. % Perkins until three days later be | met him again. “Say,” began Mr. Perkins, “do you ever carry such a’thing as a double about with your” ‘Mr. Questin, surprised and amused, demanded an explanation. | “Ouiy,” rejoined Septimus Perkins, “that gentle- man who got into the tramcar with us Tuesday | evening was, I take it, cut out of tue sume bit of cloth as yourself without any alterations You Must be @ good sort that a couple of you are Reeded im the world. You look at yourseif in te lass next time you feel at loggerheads wita mman- ind, and ther Fou'll see him.” “I'fancied the face was familiar to me, but | Giant think of my own,” said Mr. Questin. | “But I guess that don’t matter, if you were not Out too late that same evening.” went on Mr. Per- kins: “you look lke Wanting quinine and brandy pretty stiff.” | Questin acknowledged that he had not felt very Well since; that he had been imprudent coming Dack so late, and that he was not sufficiently re- covered from his ilness in Napies to take such liD- erties with Koman sundown. This was the extent of is acquaintance with Septimus Perkins, but it carried with it cereain Consequences, to be hereafter developed. A fortnight later on the night mail for Paris was stopping at the long, dark piatform of Beifort, on the froutier. All passengers were called out by the guard, who ran, lantern tn hand, along the train, and porters were tumbling out the luggage | Ft nner exasperating to the owuers. ‘The chill air smote them as they descended, bags in hand, | UnWiilIngly aroused from Wraps ahd slumoers.
