A Mistaken
Identity
By F. A. MITCHEL
Arnold Tucker, aged nineteen, mot I
and wooed Alice B nil nurd, aged six- I
teen. Botli being too young to marry— |
so their parents tiiought—consent was
given to tlie match only on condition
that they part, not to see each other
for two years. If they were then of !
the same mind uo objection would be j
raised to their union. They were not
to correspond, except during the last
week of the two years' separation, at
whicli time they would need to make
arrangements for (heir meeting.
Otie morning Albert Tucker (not a i
relative nor even an acquaintance of j
the said Arnold Tucker) was handed a
letter by a postman addressed in a
feminine hand and asked if It belong
ed to him. The writiug was so indis
tinct that Tucker could not l>e sure,
but replied by taking It in with other
letters handed him at the same time.
On ojieniiig it he read the simple an
nouncement :
I will be at tlie Graml lio;on Tuesday
ami shall be pleased lo see you thai even
ing. You will i'unl me in I'arlor li, second
floor, at S o'clock. ALICE.
Albert Tucker knew a great many
girls, a number of whom lie had made
love to for the purpose. as lie express
ed It. of passing tlie time, and was not
conscious of any of them accepting his |
attentions through any more serious j
motive, lie did not remember any
particular AWt-e. nor did lie recognize i
j the cbirography lie simply made a I
I mental note or' the appointment and |
when the evenln-; came around reach- j
ed the Grand hotel at 8 o'clock ami !
went to Parlor it
A young lady whom lie had never
seen before rose from her seat with a
happy smile to meet him. but the smile
faded into a look of perplexity.
"1 never believed." she said, "that
two short years could have so changed
you."
If Albert Tiic!:er was anything he
was gallant.
"Two long years, you mean."
"Have they b.-eu long to you?" some
thine of tlie smile remming with a
faint blush.
"Hat li lias been an eternity."
The lady looked up tenderly nut of I
a pair of heaven's blue eyes. Bert |
did not mistake; it would have been
brutal for him to mistake-at least so
be considered It He bent forward and \
kissed her Hps.
Meanwhile he was racking his brain
to place the g'rl among those to whom
he had on some previously forgotten
occasion made love. He could remem
ber a Betty, a Ioulse. an ICthel. but uo
Alice. As for the last patronymic lie
| could remember only two of them. .Miss
ttrainarn rcscuum u » <■
at a house p:«I'ly at the home of Ills
friend Charles Bonle :i couple of years
before ami had become "spoons" with
lie suspected rlint she was this girl,
but was nut sure lie determined to
take some risk to And out.
I "I would net suppose." lie said, "thai
Iso much would happen since that de |
Mghtful period we spent at Charlie's."
'•('liarlle! What Charlie'*"
"True, yoi were not with us at
Charlie Beale's. Two years Is a long
while, especially when parted from one
we love. Events become confused."
"1 hope persons have not become
confused in your case. Was there some
girl with whoui you remember to have
had a 'delightful period';' "
"Not at all. Now 1 remember: it was
a stag party "
"A stag party! l>o men hive delight
ful remembrances of stag parties?
But this is not per inetit to our meet
ing. The question with us is. Having
bean parted for tvo years, having
grown older, do we wish to accept the
promise made us when we separated/'
Bert would have given worlds to
know what that promise was; indeed
he must know what It was or give up
this struggle at pretense.
"1 have forgotten." lie stammered,
"just what that promise was."
Had an ice bolt been shot between
the two it c»u!d not have effected a
greater change. The girl started. I ben
recoiled from liini
"What have I done?" he gasped.
"What have yon done? You have
staldied me to the heart. While I have
counted the months, the weeks, the
I days till we m.glit take advantage of
that promise, you have forgotten what
it was uli, heavens.' What shall 1
do?"'
She threw herself on a sofa and bur
ied her face in the cushions.
"There Is something wren? here,"
said Bert in des|H*ratioii. "Are you
sure I am"—•
She started up "You arc Arnold?"
"1 am not 1 am Tucker."
"Arnold Tucker, and yon have for
gotten"—
"I'm Albert Tucker."
"Albert''" I
"Commonly called Bert. And now.
for heaven's sake, do tell me who you
•ire! I must admit I can't place you."
Tucker never forgot that withering
look. .
It was some time before Miss I'.rain
ard deigned to inform hlm who she
*as, and there was an explanation
Tucker was a cool chap. He apolo
gized for Ills share of the mistake,
adding:
"I can only offer to return the one
thing you have given me."
| "What Is that';" asked Miss Brain
ml.
"The kiss "
A smile broke into a laugh. The real
Tncker never appeared, and the spu
rious Tucker eventually married the
girl. " /
Told While
Waiting For
A Train
By EDITH V. ROSS
"You detectives," I said to Bentley,
"must liave lots of queer cases to tell
about. Can't you give me one while
we're waiting for the train?"
Bentley looked nt his watch. The
train was due at 12:15, nnd it was Just
12:05.
"The only one I can think of that Is
short enough to get into ten minutes
is a case wherein a valuable sapphire
had been stolen. The thief was known,
and all there was to do was to get the
property. A Jewel is so small that it
can be easily got away with, or If
necessary to the thief's safety It can
be lost either where It can be found
by him or where It eau never be re
covered.
"A man of the name of Prlchard and
stolen the stone from one who saw
him take it Therefore there was no
doubt about It. I was telephoned for
Immediately find was with the owner
live minutes after the theft. He de
scribed the thief to me—a man with red
head, striped waistcoat and tuft of
beard on his chin. lie had gone up the
street. I was to find him and recover
the property.
"Not much chance, eh'/ That's Just
what it was—chiinee. 1 hurried up the
street and had the good luck to see a
man as described coming out of a Jew
eler's. That was enough for me. He
might have sold the sapphire to the
Jowelr. if so it would keep; If not
it was my job to get it. i followed
him to another jeweler's and. going in
after him, waited for him to offer the
article for sale. But ho gave me a
suspicious look, asked the Jeweler to
show him some scarfpins and went out
without betraying himself.
"Of course 1 followed hltn. Being
quite sure from his having entered the
second store that lie had not yet parted
with the stone and believing that he
had It on Ids person. 1 shudowed him,
or, rather, kept close to him, in order
that lie might not drop It without my
seeing him do it. Of course this gave
me away to liiiu, and It was not long
before bo knew what I was about
though I fancy he wondered bow I got
on to him so quickly and possibly how
I got on to him at all, for he did not
know that lie was seen to take the
property.
"The problem with him now was how
lie could elude me, if not how he could
pet rid of (he gem in a way that would
admit of his getting it again, or, if this
also was impossible, how be might drop
it where i! would be lost to him. ne
dodged into alleys, cut Into back yards,
went through buildings, but I kept not
over twenty yards behind him. Then
lie ;onk a trolley ear. I boarded it and
was so cruwtli'd that If I had attempt
ed to take the sapphire from him he
might have been nMe to lose It with
out tny knowledge.
•lie stuck to the car till it reached the
lertiiiij.il which was on the outskirts
of the town. There were a few bouses
where I lie car stopped. Iieyond that
open arouud. My quarry set off walk
iiitr on a road till ho came to a fork.
There ho hesitated which road to take,
and I made up tny mind that he was
losing his nerve.
"lie didn't take either road, but,stoop
lug, picked up several stones. 1 know
what they were for and drew my re
volver. Suddeuly he turned and stood
at bay. The next thing I knew a stone
grazed tnv cheek. I called on him to
stop throwing stones and give himself
up. producing my revolver to enforce
my demand. Whether or not he believ
ed I wouldn't shoot, he kept on throw
ing such stones as he picked up on the
road, some large, some small. At last
i tired a shot to miss, and this brought
him to terms.
"'I want a valuable sapphire you
have in your possession,' I said.
" 'I ain't got no sapphire,' was the
dogged reply.
"I advanced and arrested him. Tak
ing him back to the trolley terminal
near which was a i>o!!ce station, I took
hiin to the latter and searched him.
"The sapphire was not to be found.
"lie bad beaten me after alL The
only course left me was to drop him,
putting another man on to him to shad
ow him with a view to being on hand
when ho regained the stolen property—
that is, if he had got rid of it where
lie could dud It again. So I held him
till I had got a man from the agency,
then let him go. I took a trolley car
back to town, and the thief took the
same car; also the man I had directed
to shadow him.
"Prichftrd on the way home abused
me soundly, declaring that I had in
tended to rob him and he would have
me arrested and sent up. I paid no at
tention to him, buying an evening
newspaper and reading it. When we
reached the city I left him In charge
of my deputy and went home to din
ner.
"The next morning when I went to
the oilice there was Prichard In charge
of a policeniau. My shadower had
watched all night before the house
where ho had slept and in the morn
ing immediately after daybreak had
followed him without himself being
noticed to the place where he bad
stoned l ie. I'rii hard spent nearly half
nn hour looking for something. Final
ly lie stooped, picked up what seemed
to be a pebble, put it in his pocket and
returned to the trolley terminal. There
he was arrested, taken again to the
police station and the sapphire found
in bis pocket. He had thrown it at
me as one of the stones.
"A very Ingenious way of getting
rid of It, wasn't It?
"Here comes onr train."
