BUTTERFLIES AND GIRLS. CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK. Helen did as she was told. and Jim put the butterfly on her hand. It clung to her fingers and straightened out its wings. When she felt it creeping up her hand, she jumped up and flung it off. "Oh !" she almost screamed. "Oh! how could you put that dreadful thing on me?" Jim saw that she was really frightened--but he couldn't understand why. "I didn't mean to scare you, Miss Helen, but you said you wanted a Papilio, and I thought you'd be delighted to get it." "I said I wanted a Papilio?" she asked in bewilderment., . Then she understood . "Oh, yes-I-I did. B-Bpt yo.u fright ened me. Won't you catch it for me again?" But Jim wasn't listening to her. He was gazing with amaz ed eyes at a couple, which was coming into the conservatory. It was Bob, and a girl, the ex act counterpart of the one he was talking to. Helen turned and followed his gaze. When she saw the couple she motion ed to the girl, who came over to her. Bob followed the girl, and when he saw Helen he was as much astonished as Jim, for there stood two girls, exactly alike in dress and appearance. Bob put his hand to his head. "I say, have I had too much punch, or are there real ly two of you?" One of the girls laughed. "No, Bob, you haven't had too much punch. This is my twin sister Alice." "And are you Helen?" "Yes, I'm Helen." "Well, tell me please, which one I've been talking to," Jim pleaded. "You've been talking to me. Alice was with Bob." "Well, which one did I dance with," he pursued. "You danced with Alice." "Well, I'll be dog-gone," was all Jim could say. Both the girls laugh'ed. "We've fooled you all for ages--ever since Alice came back from Virginia," Helen ex plained. "Sometimes I went with one and she with the oth er', and the next time we would change around." "Mr. D)arden, do you remem ber' the night you helped me classify the butterflies?'' Alice inquir'ed. '"Certainly." "Well, Mr'. Merrivale was in the parlor with H-elen.'' "And I thought he was at the co0-ed home." Jim laughed. "And you saidl you were at FlIinn Hall."

"Then Miss Alice, here's mate for your Papilio," Ji took Alice's arm and lead h< to a corner of the conservator where the butterfly had flu teredi.
