A Mistaken
Identity
By F. A. M1TCHEL
Arnold Tucker, aged nineteen, met
and wooed Alice Bruhmrd, aged six
teen. Both being too young to marry—
so their parents thought-consent was
given to the match only on condition
that they part, not to see eacb other
for two years, if tbey were then of
the same mind no objection would be
j raised to their union. They were uot
| to correspond, except (luring the last
week of the two years' separation, at
which time they would need to tuake
arrangements for their meeting.
One morning Albert Tucker (not a
relative nor even on acquaintance of
the said Arnold Tucker) was banded a
letter by n postman addressed In a
feminine baud and asked if it belong
ed to him. The writing was so Indis
tinct that I ucker could not be sure,
but replied by taking It In with other
I letters handed him at the same tune.
| On opening it he read the simple an
(nouncement:
I I win h© nt the Grand hotel on Tuesday
and shall tie pleased to see you that eve:i
i Ing. Tou will find mo In Parlor B, second
; floor, at 8 o'clock. ALICE.
Albert Tucker knew ;i great many
girls, a number of whom he had made
love to for the purpose, as be express
ed It, of passing the time, and was uot
conscious of any of them accepting his
attentions through any more serious
motive. He did uot remember any
particular Alice, nor did In? recognize
[the chirograph.v He simply made a
mental note of the appointment and
when the evening came around reach
ed the Grand hotel at S o'clock and
went to Parlor H.
A young lady whom he bad never
seen before rose from her seat with a
bappy smile to meet him. but the smile
faded luto a look of perplexity.
"1 never believed." she said, "that
two short years could have so changed
you."
I If Albert Tucker was anything bo
was gallant.
"Two long years, you mean."
"Have they been long to you?" some
thing of the smile returning with a
5aint blush.
"Each has been an eternity."
The lady looked up tenderly out of
i pair of heaven's blue eyes. Bert
did not mistake; It would have been
brutal for him to mistake— at least so
he considered It Me bent forward and
kissed ber lips.
Meanwhile he wus racking his brain
to place the girl among those to whom
be bad on some previously forgotten
occasion made love. He could remcrn.
ber a Retry, a Louise, an Ethel, but no
Alice. As for the last patronymic lie
could remember only two of them. Miss
I Bra Ina i d resembled a girl he had met
at a bouse party at the home of his
friend Charles Beale a couple of yea
before and had become "spoons" with.
He suspected that she was this girl,
but was not sure, lie determined to
take si aie risk to find out
"I would not suppose." he said, "that
so much would happen since that de
lightful period we spent ;it Charlie's."
"Charlie: What Charlie':'
"True, you were not with us at
Charlie Beale's. Two years Is a lone
while, especially when parted from one
we love. Events become confused."
"I hope persons have twi I ccnine
confused in your case. U'ns there some
girl with whom ymi remember to have
had a 'delightful period •' "
"Xot at all. Now I remember; it " as
a stag party "
"A stag party! l>» 111 on have delight
fnl remembrances of stag parties?
But this is ii"t pertinent to our meet
ing. The question with us is, Having
been parted for two years, having
grown oliler, ilo we wish to accept the
promise made us when we separated'/"'
Bert would have given worlds to
know what that promise was; indeed,
tie must know what it was or give up
this struggle at pretense.
"1 have forgotten." he stammered,
"just what that promise was."
Had nn ice bolt been shot between
the two It could not have effected a
greater chinge. The girl started, then
recoiled from him.
"What have I done?" he gasped.
"What have jvn done? Von have
stabbed me to the I: -art. While 1 have
counted the months, i he weeks, the
days till we might take advantage of
that promise, yon have forgotten what
!t was. Oh, heavens! What shall I
do?''
She threw herself on a sofa and bar
led her face In the cushions.
"There is something wrong here,"
said Bert in desperation. "Are you
sure 1 am"—
She started up "Yon are Arnold?"
"I am not. 1 am Tucker."
"Arnold Tucker, and you have for
gotten"—
"I'm Albert Tucker."
"Albert?"
"Commonly called Bert. And now,
for heaven's sake, do tell me who you
are! I must admit 1 can't place you."
Tucker never forgot that withering
look.
It was some time before .Miss i'.rain

was, and there was an explanation

A BLIND MAN S
FIGHT
By M. QUAD
Copyright. 1914. by the McCluro
XtuspH per Syndicate.
Without doubt tlie most singular
I duel that ever took place In the United
Stales occurred at Santa Fe. N. M.,
many years ago. It occurred several
! years previous to the first Pacific rail
j rond aud while yet every pound of
goods going to the far west had to be
hauled across the great plains by
freight wagons or sent around Cape
, Horn by sea.
I Two men in a Rogers & Blair outfit
! fell in love with the same girl in Santa
! Fe. One was an American named Jack
1 Ilines. and the other was a full blood
| oil Mexican. who was simply known as
Don. The girl was a half breed, and
none of us outside the two rivals
j thought her worth lighting over.
The affair had gone on for seven or
' eight months before the outbreak
; came. We were In Santa Fe, making
I ready for a start east, when the Mexi
can one evening approached a fire be
I si,ie which Mines sat alone and threw
j a package of powder on the blaze.
J With a leap aside he escaped conse
! ijucnces. but Jack Hines was blinded
\ for life, it was a contemptible thing
' to do. and but for the civil authorities
the Mexican would have been lynch
i ed As it was, he was kicked and
| beaten and bounced out of camp. A
! day or two later, as the girl had gone
back on lilm, lie tried to carry her off
by force, but had to let her go when
j she stabbed him. Ilines depended on
her pity in his misfortune, but she
; calmly told him that a blind husband
i would be of no use to her and laughed
1 his tears to scorn. lie had a relative
! in the city and was taken in and cared
J for, while the Mexican crossed the Bio
tli-nnde for a time. It was a year later,
j and Jack's old outfit and all his friends
' happened to be in Santa I1 e again
' when I'on returned. He had grown
I uglier and meaner in the twelve
I months. We would have picked a fuss
I with liiui atul shot him down, but Jack
j Ilines had no sooner heard of his pres
j once than he said:
I ' Hoys, you must arrange for a duel,
j I shall never rest content until I have
killed that Mexican!"
| "But you are blind:" we protested.
I "Never mind that. ! must fight him
I Mild Kill him, hliud or not, and the
; whole f Santa Fe shall look on!"
i When we found that he would have
j If so we carried a challenge to Don 8nd
I also asked the authorities to let us
have a public duel. Some weak ob
jections were made, but they yielded
the point. A fight of some sort was
an hourly incident, and duels came off
two or three times a week
"Yes. I will meet the Americano." be
' said, "and I will slice and cut and
' prick for one hour by the watch before
I give him the grand fiuish! The crowd
that looks on will see some of the finest
knife play ever shown on this side of
the river. Tomorrow nt uoon, eh? I
will be as prompt as the sun!"
You may believe that when the re
port spread about there was a great
excitement. It was generally believed
that the blind man would fall an easy
victim, but even his best friends said
that lie had better die with a knife in
his h:'lid than to live In a helpless
state the rest of his life. To three or
four .lack confided his belief that be
would triumph. Ills hearing had be
Ci-nie as acute as a fox's, and he
would make his ears see for him. He
i was in perfect health, had the nervo
and courage of a lion and he believed
lie had a chance.
I At high hood of nn August day OTer
I -I.non people, many of whom were worn
I on. assembled on the smooth turf to
j witness the strange combat A ring of
I ropes was formed, and the spectators
formed another. It was to bo a duel
with knives, and seconds and a referee
were appointed. After each five min
utes there was to be a rest Foremost
among the spectators was the girl who
had caused it all. and she was free to
say she didn't care who triumphed.
Each man was allowed to wrap bis left
arm In a serape or cloak, and all cheer
ing or advising was forbidden. The
blind man was pale faced and nervous
as the fight began, but his hard shut
teeth told of the determination in his
heart The Mexican was all bows and
smiles and confidence, and as he was
known to be an adept with the knife a
groan wunt about the circle as the two
stepped forward to open the fight
That duel was something to be re
membered for all time. From the blind
inn's movements no one could have
told that he was sightless. For four
five-minute rounds they fought with
only a few trifling scratches on either
*ide. but If there was any advantage
it was on the side of the American,
who had the full sympathy of the
ifj'vd, Mexicans and all. When they
•:i me out for the fifth round Don wink
er? and chuckled and said it was time
he began slicing cars off. nines had
located his man in a hair's breadth,
and as they faced each other the Amer
ican leaped forward like a flash, caught
the knife on his and threw it to the
left, and the next instant his own blade
had found the heart of the man who
hurl blinded him. We who were only
five feet away could not follow the
movement, so swiftly was it made, but
it was a successful one and, of course,
ended the fight Hines told me that
during the fight he seemed to see every
move and motion made by the other
and from the first felt sure of victory.
A public ptirse amounting to over a
thousand dollars was raised for him on
the spot, and about five hundred was
subsequently added, and he was sent
east to some institution and is today a
teacher of the blind and a man too ten
der hearted to kill a fly.
