Elwell is an artist. He has a son, Jim, aged five. Late that night the woman bears twin girls and dies without revealing her name. The Elwells adopt the girls. The story then moves forward 18 vears. The twins, now growing to beautiful womanhood, have been named Margaret and Elizabeth and nicknamed Rusty and Betty. Jim Elwell enlists in the World War. He then discovers that one of the twins loves him and he loves her. Put in charge of a machine gun unit at the Battle of Sedan, he fs shell-shocked, and through a mix ercd as John Powell, a buddy of his. He is semoved to an American hospital and reported ad.

The realization that the mystery which had hovered over their lives since birth had cleared, together with the announcement that they were now heiresses to millions, seemed to have knocked the breath right out of the twins, “Heavens, Elizabeth,” Rusty crled, sounds like a fairy story!” And Mollie Elwell showed also that she was glad of their good for- tune, although, like her husband, she realized instantly what it was going to mean to them when only | he and he were left in the little home. Dut the mother of Jim Elwell, even with her unselfishness and her goodness of heart, was human, and she could not stop the thoughts that crept into her mind as she listened, half subcongciously, to the attorney’s description of the splendid home, the girls when they that awaited lives in Indian- | entered their new | apolis.
