Exact similarity of names between t wo individuals who are not related in any way is generally cause for considerable amnsement to those who know of it, but Anson Marthen, civil engineer and rail way builder, whose headquarters were in Now York, suffered more or less nearly every day of his life for the reason that there was another man of exactly the same name who also lived in Now York, but had no business or profession what ever. The men were unlike in almost every particular, except that both were bachelors and fond of ladies. Anson Marthen, the engineer, earned a pleasing number of dollars every year, and always paid his bills as soon as they were pre sented; his nominal double never earned a penny and never paid a bill when he could avoid it, and as his peculiarity hacl become prominent enough to be talked about, it occasionally subjected the honest Marthen to exasperaiing indig nities from persons who know itho name, but not the men who bore it. The dis honest Marthen, on the contrary, cot all necessary credit at tailors' shops, livery stables, and even hotels whore the exist enco of the two Marthons was not known; he had merely to devise some excuse to talk of railroad and engineering to be taken for his entirely reputable double. His bills, in the course of time, reached the engineer's office, and were the cause of much profane language from the wrong Marthen and much fun among the two or three clerks and draughtmeu whom the busy railroad builder em p)loyed. Worse still, the honest Marthen waf sometimes chillingly received by personm to whom he was introduced and whc had heard of the other bearer of th same name. Worst of all, ladies some. times seemed disappointed when he war presented to them, for his rascall3 double was handsome enough to h< talked about, while the engineer, al. though of perfect manner, unfortunately had rugged and disproportionato foa tures. When, finally, he was arrested one afternoon on a charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses, the 'omi plainant being the father cf a lady to whom lie had just b)een presented, and the oflicers catching him as lie emerged from her house, the lady herself behold ing the affair from a window, ho went in his wrath to his lawyer and prep)ared a petition to the Liegislature, that for reasons already stated in this story, he might be permitted to assume his mother's fammily name as a middle name. But even this relief lie could not ex pect, until more than half a year later, for the arrest occurred in Jane and thme Legislature would not meet again until January. One thing, however, lie could and would do; ho would manage to see his troublesome double so that he might afterward know him by sight and defend himself against him whenever he found himself in close social or business prox. tmity to thme rascal. To find the dishonesi Marthen was no easy task; it required c fortnight's effort on the part of two dif ferent detectives, but at last Marthem was informed that the man whlo live< upon the engineer's reputation was a Saratoga, so the indignant man hastil, p)ackedI his trunk and hurriied off to thu crowded village. On the traini ho chanced to find a pica sant and entirely innocent traveling ace quaintance. A well-dressed, nmot un comely lady who sat in front of him eji deavored1 to raise a window and Marthiem hastened to assist her, getting a p)leasantl smile and a word of thanks in payment. Marthoen skillfully involved the lady in conversation, and fiding, to his great delight, that she was amiable but not smart, quite susceptible, yet not in chined to flirt, lie became very devoted. He detested smart women; several of his friends had nrrried such beings and niever ceased to regret the step; smart women had of ton tried to "catch" Mar then himself, for an ineome of a thou sand a month was not to bo despised, andi he had not always escaped with ease. Marthen fully intended to marry some day, but ho had been determined that lhe would be entirely satisfied with a plain, rather stupid woman if only he couIhi find one who was amiable. The trip to Saratoga consumed six hours when Marthen first made it; nd as one-sixth of this time has often been. enffieient to the birth of violent admira ions of men for women, it is not remark %ble that when the journey ended Mar. hhan was so favorably impressed by hii new~V acquaintance that he regretted, omn leaving the train, that he had not strainiet his habitual courtesy enough to lear' her name, and ask the honor of bein,. again allowed to meet her, for she bnii let drop the fact that she was a widow Awas now too late to do this, but mno I oo late to hopo; he wassure of findint friends at Saratoga; he could hardly hel, seeing her somewhere, somehow, if b~ remained, for she had intimated that sh~ expected to spend a month with some rel atives; his profession consisted in thec work of ovoroomia o)b.taoia. so e fel sure he would -mhakg his way again to riho side of tiffs pleasant little ladf,. and perhaps.. His rever!a and resolution were ime. - rupted as he signed the hotel register for when the clerk tead the signature hat official winked at rather a rough. looking man with whom he had beer talking, then the rough-looking man read the signature and exclaimed: "You're just the man I'm looking for, "r. Marthen-I've only just been able to find out whexo you were stopping can't, you give me a check for this carriag hill ? its heen running nearly a month, ind the boys said you-" "I'm not the man you want," still lMarthen, first saying somethiig that would not look well in print. ''Your name is" "Yes, yes, yes," interrupted Martin; "bit there is another man of the sans namne and hoi a swindler. I came her to run bini' ?lown; I've got detectiv ": after 'ii; come hero this evening an, they will put you on his track." For an hour or more Marthen was ii very bad temper, but he grew caline when, strolling out tb look at the crowo: of carriages and their occupants, he met several acquaintances who had tempor arily abjured billiards or flirting for th( same purpose. As he chatted with on of these a carriage passed slowly and Mairthen saw in it the amiable litth widow he had met on the train in the morning. She did not seem to recognize liim, but his friend raised his hat and Wias smiled upon. 1:Who is she, Jenks ?-tell me, quick." "She's Mrs. Whitlayton, widow of Will Wlitlayton, who was just starting to make a fortuno in wool when, a couple of years ago, lie took pneumonia and died. He left her twenty or thirty thou anid dollars, though-enough to inake lazy, well-dressed fellows swarm around her like flies around a sugar barrel." "Has she any family ?" asked Marthen. "No; she makes her home with. an iniele and aunt whom sie doesn't love ally too well, I'm told. A young widow must have a home, though, you know, if she doesn't want to he talked about. Excuse me a moment," continued Mar then's friend, taking the arm of a gentle iman who was about to pass them, 'here's a good fellowyonougihttoknow, Craici: do you know may friend Anlson Marl lair Mr. Marthen, Mr. Crunch." "I'm very glad to know you, sir," said Mr. Cranch, "but, if it isn't too ilmpi dent a question to ask on so short re (-a1intance, wIhy are you strolling on foot with Fred iere, while your charmin)p fianree is riding alone ?"
