A MISTAKEN
IDENTITY
By EDITH V. ROSS
Ono summer evening while strolling
In the twilight Albert Hamilton was
walking along beside it wall over which
he could look Into urtractlve grounds.
Suddenly be heard a voice call: -
"Hob!" _
Turning, he saw n girl dressed In a
dainty white costume coming down a
slope. She was looking intently at
him. so he stopped and waited for her.
"When 1 saw you coming." she said,
evidently much ugltated, "1 supposed
you had made up your mind not to
believe that malicious story and were
intending to tell me so. When I saw
you pass my heart sank. Do come In
and listen to what I have to say."
Mr. Hamilton was young; the girl
was very pretty. She had evidently
mistaken him for some one else, prob
ably her lover. Surely the likeness
must be something remarkable. He
was about to set her right when It oc
curred to him that be could do so a
few moments later Just as well. Ho
stood looking at her without speaking.
"Do come. Bob," she pleaded. "I
can explain the matter to your satis
faction if you will only listen to me."
Here Is a girl, thought Hamilton, who
has been maligned to her lover. He
has got up on his ear and gone off in
a huff. Quite likely 1 may be of serv
ice to her He mounted the wall and
entered the grounds. Still uudecided
as to Just when he had better make
himself known, he said nothing, acting
a part that might mean that he was
or was not the [>erson the girl evident
IV mistook nilll lor. fMit* siuuu ueiuio
him, 'tier e.\ es uiolstened with tears,
and told lilui ii story of woman's ma
llKiiit\ that astonished him.
lie resisted u temptation to take her
to tils breast ami assured her that her
explanation was perfectly satisfactory.
But while he was sJraining a point of
houor lu listeniiijr to a story intended
for another he would be expected to
bestow a caress intended for that
other. lie racked his brain for a sub
terfuge lu order to avoid doing so. his
inteution being to take advantage of
the girl's mistake to benefit her. More
over, he believed lie could serve her
better In his present position than un
der his own Identity. Turning to her,
he looked her iu the eyes with a reas
suring, a kindly expression, and said:
"I believe every word you have said,
but there are reasons which 1 cannot
explain to you why any outward rec
onciliation should not take place be
tween us at present."
"There ran be no other reason than
that you have put her In my place and
don't feel that you can be untrue to
her until you have heard her reply to
the charges I have made against her."
What luck! now kind of her to
give him a far better reason than be
could have invented himself.
"Nevertheless." he said, "It Is only
the form that needs to be observed."
"When shall I see you again?"
"Not till I hold every nee, bower and
trump In the pack, including the Jolly
Joker."
"Oh, what a relief!" she exclaimed,
giving his liaud a fervent pressure nnd
looking up at him through tearful eyes.
lie remounted the wall and dropped
to the sidewalk. Turning, he saw her
throwing a kiss, which his conscience
permitted him to return In kind. Then,
passing out of sight, lie said to him
self: ^
"By Jove! If I fail to bring the fel
low round I'll lose my Identity In his
and do ail the lovemaking myself."
Mr. Hamilton made the acquaintance
uf friends mutual to himself and the
parties concerned, keeping himself in
the background. Those w-ho saw him
were astonished at his likeness to Bob
Mesereau. the recent fiance of Miss
Leila Bartholow. Through them Ham
ilton transmitted bis explanation. Un
fortunately It came too late. Mese
reau. unknown to Miss Bartholow, had
been dividing bis attentions between
her and the girl who had traduced her
find had gone too far with the latter to
withdraw. He proved to be a weak
man, nnd it is questionable If he dared
withdraw. Her iiifluonee was strong '
enough to bold him.
Hamilton now considered now ne
could become Mesoreau's substitute.
He had found a Miss Everett n bosom
friend of Miss Burtbolow, through
whom he had sent bis explanation, and
with this lady he consulted. She fully
exonerated blm for the part be had
played, and after the failure of her
efforts to move Mesereau assisted him
in extricating himself with the lady
whom he had sought to benefit Miss
Everett volunteered to explain his ac
tion to Miss Bartboiow.
All that passed between the two
friends was never made known to
Hamilton, but after a time he receiv
ed a note from Miss Bartholow thank
ing him for bis kind intentions toward
her. Later Miss Everett went with
him to call on the Jilted lady, and when
the latter saw him sbe studied bis
face, then admitted that sbe saw a
difference, but was not surprised that
she had not seen it under excitement
Hamilton's first visit was not bis
last He had surmised that his like
ness to Mesereau would be an advan
tage with the lady. It proved the re
verse, for she had turned bitterly
against her former lover. Hamilton
had not only to win her anew, but un
der this handicap. However, be suc
ceeded in the epd, the handicap being
offset by Miss TVirtholo^v's approval* of
what she wan pleased to consider his
honorable conduct when she mistook
him for another. -:--r ■
