FoBtor-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Good Out OEvil By D WIGHT NORWOOD As I entered tho station 1 ran up against a beautiful display of llowers In a shop window. I havo nlwny-9 been fond of llowers. nnd, entering the shop. I bought a rose, an Amerieun Beauty, and put It In a buttonhole of my coat. On reaching my destination, stepping from the train, 1 ran into something nwro beautiful than the rose At least It was more engaging. A young girl who seemed to be inking. In with rapid glances those who were alighting fixed her eyes upon me, gave i idfiii ul' recognition, ntnrtcd forward, halted, then us I was passing her might my hand and said: 'Walterl' I am free to admit that bad the roung lady been an old lady or even a nomoly younj; lady 1 should have at once In formed her that she was mis taken In the person, and I am free to admit that this Is what I was in honor bound to do. But I didn't. I i Led at her and .said: "Are you" "Yes. I'm Lllllnn. -If you hadn't worn the rosu 1 don't bollevo 1 should have recognized you." "That Is not surprising consider ing" I gave her time to ilnish what 1 dared not risk finishing myself. "We'll talk later. Just mow we must be going. You must have your trunk sent to the house." I demurred, on the ground that 1 would incommode tho family, where upon she said that there was no one In the house but her mother alid her self, and her mother, being an invalid, was for the present keeping her room. This was, to say the least, unfortunato for my self respect, for It threw In my way an added temptation. I suffered myself to be guided to a cab and. tell ing tho young lady that I had no trunk with uie. was driven to her homo, an eminently respectable residence, and was at once sent up to my room. On the bureau stood u photograph of n youth probably flvo or six yeaj'S younger than myself. It arrested my attention because It resembled me. A maid brought me somo towels, nnd t hazarded asking her a few questions. "Who Is that?" pointing to the pic ture. "1 think that it's Miss- Lillian's Uansay." Before the maid left the room 1 had enough information to last mo till I could get more. I learned that Walter was un objectionable person to Miss Lillian's mother because ho was con sidered wild and could not support a wife, no was expected any day to arrive in order to arrange for the wed ding. He and Lillian had been be trothed when they were very young and had not met since. I went downstairs. Dinner was on the table, and Lillian nnd I dined alone together. Tho first thing I said to her after being seated was: "Has your mother withdrawn her ob- Jectlons to mo?" "I- can't say that sho has. You must try to break down her prejudice by being nice to her." How I fenced to prevent Lillian from learning that I was an impostor would tako too long to tell. Nearly everything I said was Intended to draw forth Information to help mo ln my deception. I was ln constant ter ror for fear Walter would appear nnd exposo me. nad I known what he was doing at that moment I should have felt easier. 'After dinner I proposed that I should visit mamma and try to placate her. I found the old lady very much preju diced against me. I asked her what was tho basis of her opposition to nic nnd learnod that it was general worth lessness nnd especially that I had con tracted the liquor habit. Notwith standing this lamentable condition I felt comforted. I could cure myself, and tho other fellow could not At least I believed that if I chose I could cut him out beforo ho could reform. In order to gain timo and not ex poso my deception I made a plea of being tired with traveling, though I had come but twenty miles, nnd went to bed early. What bothered mo was that it was naturally expected that I would caress my fiancee. And under tho circumstances I was not quite so base as to do so. Onco ln my room I was frco from that temptation. I dured not attempt to go through tho next day without glvlug myself away and rosolved on a confession. And this part of tho episode I Hatter myself I handled very well. I confessed to my prospective mother-in-law. At tho samo timo I proposed, ;with her con currence, to find out whnt was keeping Jiiy double nnd If ho was really worthy of her daughter. A deslro to avail her self of my services saved mo from what I deserved, nnd having been fully posted by her I disappeared from tho houso without Lillian's knowledge, took a train for tho plnce whoro Wal ter lived nnd found thnt ho was recov ering from a debauch nnd getting ready to visit his flnncee. I sent him a telegram ln his mother-in-law's namo to nwnlt a lottor, returned to her nnd Lillian nnd beforo seeing tho latter had an Interview with tho former. When I saw Lillian ngalu she know nil. Sho 'declined to meet mo till her feelings and her mind wcro somewhat composed and sho had becomo scusl bio of thq fnct that I had really dono her a favor. There Is nothing moro of this story to tell except that I married tho girl I had so dishonorably saved from a worse fnte.
