If you sou Lilian and tlicn visit Pertllta, j yoii would lie able to detect the great likeness that they hear to one anoth- j or, yet were they brought together 1 j m have no doubt that it would be easy enough to distinguish them. Yet, as you see, tlieir pictures are as nearly alike as two photographs of one per- j son might lie. Lilian's photograph wns tnkcn two years ago, when she wns only I I: hence Its extrcmoly youthful appenranee, though she herself f looks4pnrcoly older now. This other ( picture, Perdltn's, wns taken when she wns nlso 14. This explains the reason of the greater resemblance be- * tween the portraits than there ever J will be between the originals, one of the girls being older than the other. I r have often observed when looking r through nn album of portraits that this ! rule holds. There may be many children In one family all quite different !' In features, yet a great likeness is observable among tlie photographs taken A In their babyhood or childhood. Thus ^ It wns that the accidental possession , of a photograph of Pcrdlta at 14. with 1 which 1 could compare that of Lilian at the same age, led me to the con vie- L tlon that such a resemblance could on?

Molded, as they are, so ? nearly alike. It Is not unnatural that t they should admire the same man. But y there Is no time for speculation. I t must act." I, "What Is your plan?" "I have none?that is to say, I have ^ not definitely decided upon anything except the end which I have in view. The details must bo made to conserve my final purpose, and they must be as ^ circumstances may demand. All that I enn say is that I intend to save both girls from the fatality which hangs ^ over them. I must now hurry home to j dinner. Tonight luy wife and I will call upon the Van Oortlandts." a 44Ah! You are going there? So will ^ I. I will meet you there. My visit to- j night will have a new meaning, a t greater Interost for me. A new thought is in my miud, an idea arising from the past, where I supposed I had laid j It away forever. Perhaps the old j dream may be revived. It may be the best solution of the problem of the fu- , ture. It may be that, after all, at the j crisis of my child's career, I may give her a father's love and do so without j disturbing her faith in her mother by ( unfolding the truth. The past Is bit- , ter, and the present hangs heavily up- j on my soul; but, my friend, the clouds ( may part, and sunshine and happiness ( may be mine even at the end of life. ( At all events, I owe you much. You < have brought me to a full recognition ( of the wrong that I hnvo done and have showp me the path by which I may make some reparation. Above all, you have taught me that justice may be tempered by charity." "Justice and charity arc twin sisters, colonel," said Mr. Mitchel, "and should go hand In hand through life. Good by until tonight. 1 trust thai your hopes may be realized. It may be best for Perdlta. Poor glrll The uext few hours will be bard for her." . Tlie two men grasped each other's hand warmly,'and at that moment was born a friendship which never died. At, the Van Cortlnndt residence two women were seated at the dining table, both silent and each mechanically partaking of the food set before her, but so deeply lost In thought as to be oblivious of her surroundings. The elder woman, Mrs. Van Cortlnndt. wore that look of serenity which distinguishes one who hns lived an uneventful but easy life. If any sorrows had eoine, they hud proved but temporary, for In the abodes of luxury sorrow Is an unwelcome guest and Is soon dismissed. The bitterest tears tlint flow frjm human eyes cause no abrasions on the lids If wiped away with line soft linen. Yet the rich as well as the poor have hearts which , may be restively discontented at times. Mrs. Van Cortlnndt was an excellent specimen of well preserved womanhood despite her advancing year* and i the ivw streaks or gray wmcn oniy uiadc her luxurious growth of hair seem nil the blacker from the contrast. She had been born of parents who boasted a lineage that reached back to the crusades, a family whose men had boon loyal and true to country and to home and whose women had been fair and chaste without exception throughout the records of mnuy generations. Moreover, she had l>ocn born to wealth which afforded every luxury that human heart could crave, all save one perhaps. And with the perversity of life's fortune which is so common, despite her heritage, despite her wealth, the dearest wisli of her heart had been denied her. She bad ever ? - VV? II IUIIRT ronton ticnlly inclined, a strange characteristic when the phlegmatic temperaments of all the members of her home circle are remembered. Indeed sentiment was so foreign to her home that her own feelings had ever been held in check, hidden within her own bosom and unsuspected by those who thought that they knew her best. Once a flutter of hope had entered her heart. She had met one around whom her fancy formed a halo which transformed the man into n god, but the lover that might have been was silent. Another, with a longer purse, came into iter life and won the eonseut of her people even before eonsuiting her. The loved one made no protest, but offered conventional platitudes by way of congratulations, ami so the dream faded, crushed out of her heart by maidenly resentment and the fear that iter unrequited affections might have been suspected. So this page of iter life, the only one upon which a romantic paragraph bad been 1 written, was turned down, occasional- 1 ly, at Jong Intervals, to be opened and * reread. 1 Her marriage to young Gabriel Van * CortIntuit, a scion of a family ns aristocratic as Iter own and with wealth 1 I hat even exceeded her father's, lind * been one of the gay fetes of a gay senmil In the metropolis. The honeymoon ' being oyer, they had settled down to a liome life In which the entertainment * >f the best people was tlie most con- 8 mleiiniis fnn?n?? n<i.? * jluuussiuus euvied c he beautiful bride her possession of ^ ler lmn<i?oma husband and her luxurious home. Yet ouee ngmn wealth <* 'ailed to procure what her soul most 1 sought. The yeard passed, and no J iffsprlng blessed their union. ? Disappointed in the flrst instance. 11 the determined that in this second she tliould not be entirely unsntlsllcd. So e )lans were made and dertflls arranged, 11 u which respeet at least her money 1 tided her, and when at length the ar- ? Ival of the infant was announced I1 tone doubted that a genuine Van Cort- ^ nndt had been born into the worldtone but that honest old matron at ? he maternity hospital and that other l) rontfltt, the patron of the institution, rho had Indeed suggested the scheme 0 the young couple and had lent them 1,1 ler aid. At the appointed time a closed cariagc had been driven to the hospital. ^ rom which emerged two veiled wo- c' leu* ^"hoilnirrlcdintn Ui<vimlbUn?t.o-*ui d rhere they were joined by the matron. n a few moments three tiny little " .'"dies were brought in. One contain- ^ d a boy baby. (1 "No, no!'.' said Mrs. Van Cortlandt. J1 1 want a girl. The boy will be able Jo make his own way in the world l> i-hen he grows to manhood. I wish ? o save one of these little helpless ba- e lies of my own sex." Then the matron showed two others, ' ioth girls. One was large and round nd rosy, with eyes wide open and J taring at those about as though In- " [uirlng why she had been awakened, 8 or very wide nwake she wns. The s it her was tiny and pale and asleep, one n irm hidden . beneath her wrappings, ' he other limp and lying In view, the r lngers now stretched wide apart, now * losing again Into a little fist that was c uytlilng but a weapon with which to n Ight the world. This nervous twitch- t tig of the hand was all that showed <1 hat she had been disturbed by reuiov- a il from her crib. M/*s. Van Cortlandt leaned over and c ooked at the children, glancing nux- I ously from one to the other. > "Which should she select?" a qucs- I Ion of vast Importance to these two t lttle ones. c She gently grasped the twitching t innd of the sleeping child, and iimne- 1 llately Its nervous movement ceased, t ind It lay at rest. Her heart was < touched as she thought that the contact with her own flesh had Imparted I peace to the sleeping babe. Then her eye fell upon the little linger, and her ? heart beat faster. It was curiously 1 curved. She remembered one other i whose Angers were thus fashioned. A deep crimson flushed her check as she thought that this slight uerornuty In the child would keep fresh within her memory that one bright dream of her life, and, hastily dropping her veil as she arose, she said simply: "1 select this one." Shortly after this her husband had gone to the war, and she was alone with her new found treasure, which grew into her heart till It became, as It were, a part of her being. Yet, to her great surprise, the longer the child lived and the older It grew the more faded and Indistinct became the memory which she had thought that the sight of the curved fluger would keep green. In her love for tl^e young glr' and her pride In the child's budding benuty her own heart's longings were satisfied. It puzzled her to think why she should have revived these memories tonight, and therefore she sat silent at the table, musing over the unsolved problem. "Why does It all come back to me tonight?" * Is there any subtle truth In telepathy? Did she unknowingly feel the Impress of the surcharged thoughts which another mind, was sending In her direction at this moment? And I'erdltn, too, was silent, thoughtful, But she lived only In the present, i mo pnst was n neaten tracic over which she Deed not dwell, the future a dim vista into which the young never look except with a gaze of hope and a feeling of security. "All will he well," say the young who look Into the mirror of the future. But the present and the Immediate morrow?of these I'erdltn thought much, thought deeply, and was troubled. What ought she to do? What would she do? Two questions were these which might have a single answer or which might be treated quite | differently. , "What shall I do?" she asked herself < a thousand times. "I love him so! How t can I let him go away without me? J IIow can I live without him? IIow < can 1 refuse to do what he wishes? \ t?-I? - ,?uvu ji woman loves a tnnn, should 1 she not prove that love by making nil t saerllies? Sliouhl she hesitate to give e herself to him at all hazards? No, no! t I love him! I must go! Tomorrow 1 t will go! It is settled! I am so glad r that at last I have decided." I At this moment her mother. In her t dreaming of the past, was bonding over ' the tiny babe ami observing the little 8 linger lying nt rest within her own ? hand. As Peril it a looked up she met j, the loving enzo, and there was instant- c ly a revulsion of feeling within her V breast as she lowered her eyes again. y "Mother! What would mother do?" ti she thought. ''She loves me so. She ^ would die If I left her. But other girls ^ leave their homes. Yes, but somehow * It Is different with me and my mother. She loves more than other mothers ^ love, and I love her too. We have al- (s ways been so much to each other. No, no! I cannot go! Mother would die, b? iud then I should reproach myself for- *? jver. A wife like that would be a burIon to any man. So I cannot go. The m Ironm is over." * But she fell to dreaming again, and ^ iiu iniruon or nor dream was her love rr 'or Matthew Mora. (lt They had sat down to dine later than isual, and, though the dessert avos just irought on, both Avomen were relieved o have their thoughts diverted by the sj ound of the bell.

"You know our Rose is soon to; nake her debut In society, and after nc hat eventful occasion Ave shall be ^ bilged to receive more than In the , inst. But during her childhood Ave a\-e llA*ed rather quietly." , "My Avifc lias felt the responsibility m, f rearing a young girl to be a heavy urden," said Mr. Mltchel, laughing. OJ] She says that she will regain her rp recdoin after the child is fairly , tunclied." < "Yes, indeed I will," said Mrs. Mitch- ^ I. "Of course you knoAA', Mrs. Van (jj( ortlandt, that Rose is not our oavo ^ lilId. That makes a great difference, ll0 on't vou think?

But, then, you can hard- ' J r he a judge of that, you who have ln, eon blessed with a daughter of your wn. And such a daughter!" She add- as d the last words turning graciously award Perdlta and smiling admiriugy upon her. Mrs. Van Cortlandt winced a little at hose words, but showed nothing by ier conntenauce, which had been eliooled for many years to guard her ecret. Before she could reply a scrvnt entered and announced Colonel Myton, at which Mrs. Van Cortlandt ose to receive him, at the Banie-rrmw ronderlug that he of .all men should ^ ouie on this night. What mystic con- w lecttOu could there he between her houghts of him and his arrival? She *j lared not venture a reply, even to her- ja elf. The colonel entered with dignified asc and self command, such as would >e expected from the man of the * vorld and the soldier that he was. * Nothing in his manner betrayed that " his was aught but the most casual all, nor was there anything in the greeting between him and Mr. Mitehel 'rom which one might have suspected hat they had seen each other before >n that day. Advancing toward Mrs. Van Cortlandt, he bowed low as he said: "My uear inonu, i hoik* you win parilon mo for having remained away ^ from you for so long. It is almost a )( month, I fear." "Five weeks, colonel," said the lady, j, laughing. "I fear time goes lightly v with you in your world of business and ^ pleasure. We two women, alone in a great house like this niglit after night, r keep a better reckoning of the visits of our friends, do we not, Perdlta?" The colonel was charmed to find that r In the chronology of her heart she liad ( noted the flight of time between his visits. fl "Yes, Indeed, mother," said Perdlta. advancing. "We always miss you. y colonel, when you remain away from us for a long time." "So, then, you, too, like to have me come?" Tlio colonel's voice trembled n little, and It was with an effort that he ( controlled himself. lie admired the girl's marvelous beauty, and he wondered that he had taken so little cognizance of It hitherto.
