"Please stop this nonsense, Dick, il
don't love you. Why, lve known you
for simply ages, and I will not marry
you unless 1 love you. Tho man I
marry will be someone whom I will
meet and full In love with instantly."
Barbara's face was determination it
self, and tho word "Instantly" waa
very emphntlc.
"So you see, Alice," Dick finished
telling his sister, who was herself hap
pily married, und thereforo doubly in
terested in all lovo affairs, "whero I
am. I think sho loves me, and doesn't
know It. That sounds conceited, but I
believe It's true. She's tho only girl I'll
ever love,, and how I'm going to havo
her is beyond tne. Alice, sho won't
even let mo touch herl"
Dick's voice was hopeless and Indig
nant, all in one.
Alice's eyes sparkled in a way which
Dick well knew. It was a suro Blgn
that her brain was busily hatching
Eomo scheme. Alice hud never fulled
Dick, and this was to be no exception
to the rule.
"Listen, Dick, I hjivc it Fully guar
anteed. I'll have Alice down here for
the week-end. 1'ou are to come down
on the same train. I'll let you know
Just which one. Barbara has a wonder
ful new coat and you, my dear sir,
arc to foot the bill for a twin sister
to that sama coat, if I can possibly
find one liko it in tho city tomorrow.
Are you on?"
Dick nodded. Ills fueo was a study.
Ho wua striving to follow Allco, but his
face was so blank that Ills glster
laughed outright.
"Then, Dick, you ar to leave the
train only after you aro sure Bnrbara
gets off. Then, no matter who U at the
station, yoa hear, no matter If tho

and I "kTiSw you. AI53 TTul Is TOOTo lo
tho point, I know girls. Nothing ven
ture, Dick, nothing gain, you know."
The 5 :14 wus never quite so slow to
Dick ns It wns the following Friday. In
the car ahead he caught a glimpse of
Barbara, keeping himself, however,
well out of her sight. To Dick's
wrought-up nerves tho wheels seemed
to repent over and over, "Nothing ven
ture, nothing gain. Nothing venture,
nothing gain."
As the train stopped nt his station
JDlck braced himself. The tlmb to ven
turo wns at hand.
Three strides brought him closo to
.Barbara, and, forgetting his Instruc
tions and obeying only his natural Im
pulses, he caught her up in his arms.
It would have taxed the strongest im
agination to have called that kiss but
brotherly. For a moment Barbara was
stunned, and then her wrath was
poured upon Dick's defenseless head.
If Alice had not appeared hurriedly
upon the scene with exclumatlons of
surprise upon noting the likeness of
Barbara's coat to the ono she herself
was wearing, Dick would probably
have boarded tho train and gone on,
nof caring where li took htm.
"Of course Dick mistook you for mo.
Naturally ho would. My dear, where
did you gef a coat so liko mine?"
Dick breathed n sigh of relief.
TJmnks c to Jbe stars for n slstor like
Alice. But The end wns not yet.
Dick spent a wretched Jinlf-hour
waiting for the girls to come down to
dinner. Alice's husband had taken
himself off, for which Dick was do
"voutly thankful. Not that Bob wasn't
a nice enough chap, but this was no
time to talk politics, etc. In Dick's
opinion something more than the ato
of a nation was to-be settled within
the next few hours. He turned quick
ly upon henrlug the door of tho living
room open.
It was Barbara. "Allco will be down
in a few minutes." Barbara's eyes
evaded Dick's.
"I'm sorry, Barbara, for the mistake
I so stupidly made nt the station."
Dick's face was quite calm, and Bnr
bara could not know that he was se
cretly calling himself n liar.
Barbara's face flushed. It was n
long moment before she spoke, and
then her voice was very low.
"Dick"
"Yes, dear." Was he to win arftcr
all 7
"All those people at the station saw
you kiss me, and they do not know
you mistook me for Alice. What
what shall we do?"
"You know, dear" Dick was smil
ing now "people who are engaged to
each other sometimes kiss when they
meet. Why not become engaged to me
and thnt will give me the privilege of
" Dick stopped.
"Kissing mo again." Barbara fin
ished as Dick's arms closed about her.
Alice softly opened the door, beck
oned for her husband to peck, and as
softly closed it again.
