I shall be very glad to meet the young ladies at their birthday party tomorrow evening.” Mr. Whitman went on his way mind- ful of the daughters born in leap year eighteen years agone. They were as alike as two roses on the same stem. They had known no mother since their infancy, and yet they had arrived at the threshold of womanhood model daughters and misses. Only one thing troubled Mr. Whit- man as to the future of Myra and Lu- cile. It began to look as though they would never marry. From early child- hood they had never been separated for so much as a single night. Their tastes and preferences were similar. When one smiled, the other respond- ed. When Myra was moved to sad- ness, the sympathizing tears of Lu- cile came into evidence. A sort of delicate telepathy influenced these gen- tle spirits when apart at any distance, if even for a brief period of time. As they grew up, what one had she was not satisfied until her beloved sec- ond self possessed its duplicate. Dresses, ornaments, pets—there must be a natural ownership or one or both became unhappy. Two such charming spirits could not fail to become socially popular. For all that, they gave little encourage- ment to the young men attracted by their beauty, their social position and| the fact that the indulgent father was| of independent means. There was always some special er- rand they had for father each day They Were as Alike as Two Roses on the Same Stem. that he went to business. It was a de light to him to perform these little services for the loved ones at home. That morning when he kissed the voung ladies goodby he had asked them what especial gifts he should bring for the coming birthday. “Just a bouquet of flowers, papa,” Myra had said sweetly, and Lucile echoed the request. “Any special kind?” he asked, with a mental reservation as to a handsome ring he had already selected for each of them. “Oh, yes,” smiled Myra, “We want some Love in the Mist. Ever since we first saw Aunt Hespah's pretty coun- try garden, we have felt lonesome be cause the flowers we brought home with us faded so soon. They remind- ed us, too, of dear dead mamma’s old home. They are not the kind that town folks sell. Do you think you could find some, papa?”’ “I shall certainly try to,” but Mr. Whitman visited four florists in suc cession on his way to the office to be informed that there was little call for “wild” flowers and that only occasion- ally a few came into the market. At length, however, Mr. Whitman chanced into a neat, well-kept little shop presided over by a handsome, clear-eyed young man, who looked as if living with the flowers had refined his whole nature. He smiled in a pleased way at the request of Mr. Whitman. “I can make up one bouquet,” he said, “and my brother, I think, can provide another. You see, we each run a business. About Love in the Mist—we have my mother down in the country ship us a box right through the season. They don't always sell, but we like to have them as remind- ers of the homestead. They seem to keep us clean and fresh from the grime and rush of the big city.” “T declare!” ejaculated Mr. Whit- man, secretly wondering at the coin- cidental preferences of his two girls and these two boys. “Tll telephone Bob at his store and make up my bouquet. Where shall we deliver them, sir?” inquired Ned A} ton. Mr. Whitman handed the young florist his card and went on his way.

Theén he made up a bouquet of Love in the Mist in stock and started on his mission to deliver them. He reached the Whitman home, an isolated old- fashioned mansion, surrounded by ! shrubbery. As he ascended the front | steps and reached out to ring the bell, the front door was pulled open vio- ! lently from the inside and a vision of two pale and terrified, but beautiful faces bewildered—nay, dazzled him. “Oh, sir!” gasped Myra, call the po- lice.” “Yes,” panted Lucile, “two men are ([l (¥e can fix that leaky roof. Our Motto is. in the house—burglars! They climbed in over the kitchen roof and the serv- Modest Prices and All Work Guaranteed, ants are all away.” r “And they have got into papa’s room where he keeps his valuable collection | of coins,” added Myra. “Run for help, one of you,” directed Ned, acting quickly, and casting his | bouquet on the doorstep. Then he dash- ; ed past them. He was up the stairs in a flash. A sound in a near room at- tracted his attention. He rushed in to find two rough looking men prying open a cabinet. One of them Ned grappled and-floor- ed. The other with a cry of alarm ran to the open window and leaped out. At just that juncture Bob Alton ar- rived with his bouquet. If his brother Ned had been inspired to reckless valor at a sight of Myra's lovely face, the soft pleading eyes of her sister made Bob her instant cham- pion. Behold, then, a climax—Ned marching burglar one down the stairs, Bob staunchly blocking the flight of burglar two. The police were summoned by tele- pone and the robbers disposed of. Then the timid sisters insisted papa must be sent for. Would their brave knights errant remain until Mr. Whit- man arrived? Ned explained their mission. Two gasps of delight greeted the two bou- quets. They were as much alike as the twin brothers, as the twin sisters. The quartette sat on the porch, and as Lucile glanced at Myra with Ned by her side, an expression of rare com- placeny crossed her face. There seemed to be a general pairing all | around, harmonious and pleasing. “Why, I say!"—Mr. Whitman paused as he appeared upon the scene. He (ff | simply stared. It was like a picture— the smiling girls, the radiant young men, the dazzling bouquets. He extended a cordial hand to the bright young fellows who had skvedl the alarmed nerves of his daughters" and his own priceless old coin treas- ures.

When Annie landed at Ellis islaud g she was taken directly to the down- town home of her employer. She had but one friend in the city, who lived much further uptown. When Sunday came Annie said she wanted to call | on her friend. Her employer took her there and called for her after tea and took her home. Next Sunday Annie said she would visit her friend alone. She was given careful directions, ending with the solemn caution to be sure to take the eame car as last time. “I sure will,” said Annie as she started off. Two hours later her employer left the house and when he got to the cor- ner was astonished to see Annie stand- ing there anxiously looking at every | car that passed and muttering angrily: ' “Foor hundred and wan! That's not it! “Foor hundred and wan!” i Stepping up to her he asked: “What's the trouble Annie?” “Throuble?” anewered she. “Throu- | ble enough! Here I've been, for two mortal hours waitin’ for car foor hun- dred and wan—and sorra a sight of 1" “Why are you waiting for car 401?" asked her employer. “Why?” fairly shrieked the exasper- ated Annfe. “Why?
