Roach, of course, thought it was an elaborately staged ‘cut’ He couldn’t have understood Mise Pru- dence. But Horton did. He knew that, for her, Roach had been non-eviden- tlal.

We have those classic cases of double personality, for exam- ple, In which the patient 1s absolutely unable to recognize those whom he has known before, and sometimes to see them, even.” “Wait a minute,” said the doctor. “On the way home Horton, who was greatly distressed, renewed his suit. He couldn't restrain himself; he was terrified, too, and wanted to have the right to take care of the girl. He asked her to marry him. “‘Why, I have loved you all my Iife, dear,’ she answered. There wasn't the smallest hesitation on her part about accepting him. She remembered Roach, but she never remembered that she had been engaged to him. And it is my opinion that she would never even have seen him, had he stood up in front of her at any later date. Fortunately, she was not put to the test.

Click! Hal Dunean woke up from his slum- ber on the sunny side of a pile of lumber at the sound, rubbed his eyes and stared suspiciously at a spruce appearing young fellow “shooting™ him with a camera—and a smile. “Hey! what are you up to?" chal- lenged the aroused sleeper. “Oh, I've got a famoue story on you and [ wanted your picture to make it more interesting,” explained Dave Lind. *“I'm a reporter for the Star. One of your chums told me about you and piloted me here. I gave him a dollar to do it. I'l give you five to go over what he's told me and add enough to it to make a two-column ‘special'—what do you say?" Hal Duncan looked bored. It was not the first time he had been the subject of pictorial publicity. Hal was unique as a tramp and a good deal of a gentleman. Something of a | mystery, too. It seemed that about two years since he had appeared among the hoboes. They made a favorite of him, for many a story was told of his care for poor sick fellows | and homeless ones, many a stirring tale of some thrilling exploits in a ramble over half the country; a fire discovered in time to save a whole business block, a knockout of foot- pads who would have killed a victim but for his interference, the rescue of two little children from a burning building. Hal shared everything with his fel- low unfortunates except his moral na- ' ture of his self-respect. He never got down to rags. He was a reformer all throngh and had made a famous speech in behalf of the poor and op- | pressed that had got into the papers. ! But he was dead to the old world, | Wwhere apparently he must have once | led a life of what people ocall re- &pectablility. Now for a moment he seemed about to resent the proposal of the ener-| getlc young newspaper reporter, then | with his usual careless self-abandon | he shrugged his shoulders resignedly and said: “All right. I need the money and I guess I can give you good value.” Pathos, adventure, humor—through many unique shades of rare human in- terest Hal led the Interested reporter. The Star Had Made a Fearful Mistake. ' pityingly and admiringly. “There’s your money,” he sald, “and you've given me some good stuff. say, though, it seems a pity to see a man of your intelligence wasting your life llke & common tramp. Why, ! my friend?” | “Call it the ‘wanderlust,’ diagust with the so-called respectable wnrld!"' laughed Hal. “I have found warmer hearts among the wreckage of human- ity than I ever knew in soclety.” The “why” of the reporter, who left Hal, with a cheery "Good luck,” sent the latter Into a sudden reverie. | “Why,” Indeed! Before his mental vision passed a series of vivid plc-] tures of a small fortune left to him, of being “the best fellow” in his home village. Then love—his head drooped sor- rowfully as he thought of Hazel Green. How he had loved her! how | winsome she had been—but strong drink bad not then relaxed its awful influence over him. He finally found ! himself penniless. Pride, remorse tortured him. A man who had money | and position became his rival HMI knew that Hazel loved him, but a bet- | ter man had come between. Hal left the town desperate and became a | homeless wanderer. With a sudden spurt of resolution | he banished the memories that so tor- meanted him and arose to his feet. He placed the fivedoilar bill in his| | pocket. Then he poticed some papers the reporter had thrown aside. They | were political campaign documents | reciting the views and giving a speech of Rodney Walton, candidate for con- grossman in the district, | These also Hal thrust into his pocket. He proceeded to a barber shop and thence to a store where he purchased a hat and some collars and a tie. His clothing was not bad and, brieked up, he would scarcely have suggested the tramp to a casual ob- server long sinoe Hal had recognized tt evil of strong drink and had elim- inated that feature of his reck life. The possession of money made a gen- erous meal at a restaurant a luxury. Then he secured a cheap room at the hotel and skept in a real bed for the first time in months. There was a fair at Derby,,a, town sixty miles away at the extreme edge of the district. Hal felt like playing | the gentieman while his money lasted. | He bought a ticket for that place, the morning. newspaper and selected a comfortable seat'in the tratn. “Hello!” he ejacuated as he opened | the sheet—"here's my story.” | There it was and next to it was | boom for Mr. Walton, the congression- al candidate. Agd then Hgl Duncan S TR THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., JAN. 18, 1915, StlleT Groadly. The Star had made a | fearful mistake. They had got the plc- ture of Hal over the Walton article. There he posed as the lauded candi- date for congress! The journey was a slow one and Hal was glad to put in his time look- ing over the campaign literature he had picked up the day previous. A sample speech interested him. Evi- dently Mr. Walton was reaching for the popular vote. A good many hu- mane sentiments that he enunciated rather feebly were greatly in accord- ance with Hal's ideas. “How I woyd like to set myself loose on that Bubject in a genulne free and easy way!" ruminated Hal. When he arrived at Derby he found the fair and a big political meeting the attractions of the day. Posters announced a mammoth mass meeting that evening to boom a certain ticket in which Hal noticed the name of Rod- ney Walton. It was late that afternoon, just as Hal came out of a restaurant that a prosperous looking man stopped, swared at him, drew a newspaper from his pocket, glanced at it and then went up to Hal. “Mr. Walton, surely?” he sald. wouldn’t have known you only for your picture in the paper. Why, vou must come at once to headquarters. A speech from you will just about fill out our program.” At once Hal comprehended the situ- ation. A whimsical resolution seized him. He had been mistaken for Mr. Walton. He allowed himself to be introduced to the committee, he was given a royval banquet. Then the speeech! Hal Duncan let loose all the eloquence he possessed. “Why, the crowd just went wild!” enthused a committeeman. “Mr. Wal- ton, you have carried the day for us. We wish to entertain you tomorrow—" but with the morrow Hal had gone. The masquerader was a good deal surprised when a month later the Star reporter ran across him in an- other town. “Been looking for you for a week,” declared the latter. “That speech of Yours elected Mr. Walton. He wants you—bad."” He wanted this natural orator so badly that when Hal returned with the newspaper man to Wallsville, he engaged him as his secretary forth- with. Hal Duncan became a changed man. One day he stole away from Wellsville and visited the home of his childhood. It was to find Hazel walting for him, Yes, true womanly love had disdained all new suitors. “I knew you would come back,” she told Hal, serene in his cherishing arms. “My heart was with you through all the long ordeal that has shown you to be a man among men.” And then there was a wedding and Congressman Walton gave away the beautiful bride.

Whistler won't stay under the same roof with that wild Irishman.” Moore, in the inside, remarked in his sweetly modulated volce, “Why drag in Whistler?” One of the most characteristic con- versations with the great artist is re- ported by Frederic Keppel. Mr. Keppel first called upon the art- fst at the Tite street studio, where the famous portrait of Sarasate, “black on black,” stood at the end of the long corridor that he used to form a vista for proper perspective of his work. Laying his hand on Keppel's shoulder, he said: “Now, isn’t it beautiful?" “It certainly is,” was the reply. No,” said he, “but isn't it beauti- ful? “It is, indeed,” said Keppel. Whistler raised his volce to scream “Damn it, man'!” he piped, “isn't it BEAUTIFUL?" Adopting the emphasis, Mr. Keppel shouted: “Damn ft, it is!™ This was satisfactory. “What “Home, Sweet Home."” It was dark and cold and the gaunt and leafless trecs were swayed by fit- ful gusts of wind that spoke of com- ing rain Plodding Pite and quickened their pace i a place should overtake burst of energ versation. “Wot's up with yer, Pete?" inquired Willie. “Yer look as if yer goin’ ter Weary Willle | order to reach e the storm m.
