"Dearest Dolly:
"I cannot begin to toll you how glad
I am again to lie writlug you—guess 1
acted like a cail about TW1 Corling—
but at tlie same time you must admit,
little girl, thut you gave mo some
cause for anger. Dear, can't we call
It quits? And as for—"
The letter fluttered from Molly's An
ger*. Who in the world was writltg
to her like this? Why, she had never
had a sweetheart In all her lonely life,
and out of a clear blue sky—this. She
flushed guiltily as she thought of the
"little girl." and hurriedly picking up
the scattered sheets, finished reading.
The rest of the letter was tilled with
thrilling tales of travel, bits of humor
ous adventure, and—between the lines
—a uian's yearning fur home and "his
girl. It was signed "Monty."
Molly's life had been singularly un
•veutful as far as men were con
cerned. Kver since she could remem
ber she had lived with her mother as
her ouly companion—the mother
whose soul and miud w ere buried deep
lu a past of which she never spoke.
The day the letter was received she
had been, for her, unusually blue aud
lonely.
She could not help feeling lu her
secret heart that the letter could not
possibly be for her, aud yet—it was
rather nice to be called "dear"—
Molly hastfl} snatched up the en
velope, and as she scanned It a sec
ond time the smile died from her fine:
"To Miss Dolly Koberts, Sargent
School, Cambridge, Mass.," she read.
So that was It! She had frequently
beou confused with lK>lly Koberts be
cause of the similarity of their tames,
although they were as different as
night ami day. Pretty, frivolous, tickle
Dolly—why. the whole school was
talklug about her now for eloping
quite dramatically a week ago! Yes,
aud the uinu's name had been Car
ling !
She sat quite still. A daring thought
had entered her mind; this Mni.lv was
a safe distance aua.\. Dolly was cer
tainly beyond caring—sellout would oe
closing now lu a week und Molly could
send huu tier similiter address. Who
would be the wiser If she wrote to
Monty, pretending -lie was IVilly: She
could tyjiewrile her letters, so that
Monty would not suspect; he was too
far away to hear of Dolly's latest en
price. Molly, at this moment, was far
from the placid being her schoolmates
thought her.
The plan was carried !hr>.ugli with
out a slip. Molly wrote ->:.e of her
Inimitable letters—clever, humorous
and sensible. An answer came lu
time, then letters tlew buck ami forth
all summer and fall.
Thus matters stood until one crisp
morning In early IVcfiuher. As Molly
was leaving the school building, a tele
gram was put Into her hands, and
with a sinking sensation Ir. her breast,
she tore open the euvelofie. The
words stared up at her through a
blur:
"Meet me ou U:3o train today Must
»<•*■ vou— Monty."
Molly stood dazed: her little w oriel
was crumbling about h< r feet
As the hour approached, Molly's
sensitive soul shrank from the task,
but somehow she found herself at the
station, waiting with a heavy heart to
break her poor bubble Into a thousand
crystals.
The train rumbled Into the .station,
the crest gates swung open, nLd a
throng streamed through. Molly, slek
wiih misery, turned away and loaned
despairingly agniust the Iron gale.
Suddenly she was startled by a
touch on her anil, ar.d a deep voice
said a bit unsteadily:
"Molly, you wen*—no ;.<od—to
come."
In her distress she did no: notice
that he called her "Molly;" she did
not even stop to wonder how he ki.ew
her. She had only an instant's Im
pression of a tanned, rather good
looking face, and earnest, Mulling
eyes, then—
"UJi." she cried, "you—It's all a hor
rible mistake—I lied to you. 1 ni>ened
your letter to l>ol!y by mistake—-and
I was lonely, ar.d—"
The pitiful recital en .led In what
Sounded suspiciously like a sob. and
the tall young man In the ensign's uni
form patted her shoulder clumsily.
"There, now," he soothed gently. "1
knew all the time—and I'm glad Polly
did elope, because now I have you."
Indignantly Molly shook off his
har.d, and demanded warmly:
"You—knew?"
"Well, you sims" explained the young
man genially, "when I received your
first letter I knew that somebody quite
different from Polly had written it. 1
made guarded Inquiries of my sister.
Peg, a senior at Sargent, and she told
me about Molly Hobbins. who was al
ways being confused with Polly Rob
erts. It sounded reasonable and so—
well, I've been busy falling In love
wi'li you ever slr.ce. \Yh,r. 1 knew you
the minute I aiepped through tlie
piles."
Molly's opposition was fast dirain-1
Ishlng. She allowed herself to be led
to the street, but once there she,
stopped suddenly.
"Wo haven't been properly Intro-!
dnced." she declared, primly, "1 don't i
really know you."
"What you don't know," declared
the young man magnificently, "woc't |
liurt youl"
