It was not a very elaborate apart- | ment, that into which Robert was | shown, but it was good enough till the funds came, he told himself phil- osophically. Scarcely, however, had he turned on the gas and prepared for | & refreshing wash, when there was a timid yet imperative tap on the door. | “Come in,” sang out Robert, and, fat and consequential, yet with a marked servility in his manner, the proprietor of the hotel whom Robert bad noted in the lobby entered. “Oh, Mr. Stewart, sir,” almost gasp- | ed the pompous boniface, “a dreadful mistake has been made.” “He has found out that I've got only | a dollar,” mused Robert darkly. “New bellhop, landlord. “Clerk just noticed your name. This way, If you please, sir— 1t you please,” and graclously and soli- citously the speaker waved Robert to the elevator, bowed and scraped all | the way down three flights, and ush- ered him into a magnificent apartment on the parlor floor. “See here,” blurted out the mystified Robert,” this expence—" “Ordered, paid for, Mr. Stewart, 1 assure you," interrupted the landlord. “Expected you, sir.

It took quick-witted Bob only a brief | thinking spell to understand that Rob. | ert Stewart was a common name | “Two Robert Stewarts, eh? he ! ruminated, “and I've arrived first | Wonder where the other Bob {8 at the other end of the line? Why not!" | What Bob asked himself was, if he the assumption thrust upon him. He had just gone 'Hmugh an experience where frolie nd darger were daily concomitants f a rude frontier life. He had been with a surveying crew, staking off L. great Tanipah Valley. The gov- ernment had encouraged an Irrigation project, and land in the valley had gone up on a boom. : There was not a foot of land in the Tanipah district Bob had not gone over. In fact, struck with the future | possibilities in view, he had got the owner of a ten lhousand acre tract, the cholcest property in the section. | | to give him a ninety dave’ opton on | his holdings. The engineering com- pany had defanlted on pavment. Bob ! had thus far arrived at the outpmmi of civilization on his way to colh’ct‘ from the company at Denver, to find | himself stranded. i “I am supposed to be the Robert Stewart who owns that guit case” he soliloquised. il right, I'li occupy till he comes, and trust to luck to get out of the scrape.” Adventurous DRob found two suits Inside the ed up a phot thought he had a face. e adiiir flancee, of the oil “Lucky fellow of money, too, 1 can’t grudge me : pose. good bed ar j bronzed. and in outing costume, walk- | i ed up the steps of the Empire Hotel | pendent alr, in his situation.

I'll play the game to uu‘ limit.” { Ome hour later Bob sat at a ban- ! table, surrounded, as his compan- : to make him believe, by “the lvading citizens of the town.” Bob | had donned one of the suits at the ho- ! tel Ju.ge Slattery had called for him. He was whirled away in an au- tomobile to the club. There were In- | ' troductions, a feast, and feeling com. ! fortable over a grand meal, Bob I teamed on these kind friends who . feted and landed him. | Then the judge and some others led him into a private room. And then they tulked business. Bob opened his ¢res wide as he learned the details of t business. He was encouraging uncommunicative. When he got back to the hotel he winked at him- self in the mirror and chuckled. When the train from the east ar- rived the next morning, a well-dressed voung man was conveyed to the Em- | pire Hotel. He approached the clerk's desk with the simple words: “Robert Stewart.” “Ah, yes, show the gentleman up, ' | boy " Thus it was that Robert Stewart No. 2 intruded on Robert Stewart No. | {1 The first Bob was tactful. Inside of ten minutes he had explained, and had ! his double in name laughing. | ‘You see,’ he said, “it's lucky I let them take me for you. As I get it, | | you are out here to buy up a lot of land for an eastern firm. The specu- { lators in this town got options on five | thousand acres of Tanipah at rock bot- | tom prices, and expected to put it | over on you at a five hundred per cent. ' advance. Besides that, the land is | the poorest you could pick up. If you | vish to invest, give my option a8 1 ghow.” | Which Robtert Stewart No. 2 did, which Judge Slattery found out and [ lunk into obscurity with his confed- | erates. The belated Bob saved his ' firm fifty thousand dollars, our Bob' “r ade ten, and the original of the ! thotograph turned out to be a al|~' ter. | Then the friends learned that some- ' w they were distantly related. They | ned east together, and there was o introduetion for Bob to charming | Idith Stewart. ‘I ean't ask you to change your me,” obgerved Rob one evening, aft- er he and Edith had got pretty well painted, “but I can ask you to vour home.
