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." ROh nnswere
