Ind.. one night in October. l898.

islnicd on the train.
Eiweli is an artist. He has a
son. JIM. aged 5. Late that night
the woman bears twin girls and
dies without revealing her name.
The Elwclls adopt the girls.
The story then moves forward.

Jim Elm-ll enlists In the World

of the twins loves him and he loves
her. ..

And so the two returned to their

Could it be. they began to ask one

flu and was unable to write? For the
last letter they had received from
him was the one tellinz of hls iliv
ness and the probability of his hav-
ing to remain in the hospital for on-

As a matter of fact. bud the El -

Wtol‘l‘llf effervescent fiction make
itself particularly manifest in the
manners of these ttvo girls. The
smiles and laughter that had once
brightened the little home were seen
and heard no more.
They went on long. and walks to
gether. One day they made a 911'
crimege to the woods where Jim's
heroic first old had saved Rusty from
the ravages of ruttlesnokepoison.
“This is the very spot where he
laid you down." sold Betty. The
place then was covered with snow.
but Betty knelt down there and
cried and offered up n little prayer
born of despair.
Every place they went. it seemed.
held a thousand memories of Jim.
The woodshed in the back yard
where Jim used to "clean up" and
shine his shoes and. at times. read
in solitary splendor. The back fence.
where Jim one day had vaulted over
to take a beating at the bands of o
prizenxhter Ind over which the cro-
quet ball. propelled by Rusty'- un~
crrlng young arm. had found its
mark on the enemy's head.
Grief seemed to affect them «lust

ina more than o. “pal" as it did on
Jim'- bclbrothcd.
And Mollie Elwell, looking on
through the eyes of a. mother, love
new intc sided and softened the
more by son of her own great lor-
row. called herself again and pain
the question that had been in her
mind ever since tint night in June
before Jim went away.
Which we- the girl Jim had loved

which the girl that had loved him

they both love him in the some my?
it seemed impossible. she told her-
self. that such a condition could
exist when both were. without Quec-
tion, wholly devoted to each other.
And oo-tbe question remained un-
answered. So for u Mollie could

This city of the dead. they told
"each other. held the grave in which
their Jim Icy sleeping under the sod
where the poppies grow. And that
grave. .‘tlollle Elwell was beginning
to believe more and more as the
weeks merged into months. held the
hearts of both the girls.
Not once did Mollie let her lips
speak the question that was in her

The girls thrashed this out one
day themselves.
"Do you suppose." l'iusty asked.
“that we ought to tell Mollie our
secret?” . .
Betty shook her bend. “Not yet.
Some day, dcuP. but not now."
Rusty sighed. “Poor Jim. Who
else but Jim ever would have
thought of exacting such a prom-
ise?" She began to cry.
lieity pulled her shoulder. "There.
there. now." she soothed. "We‘ll
just wait. dear. and some day the
proper time will come for telling
Mollie. But not now. Don't you
think I'm right?" ‘ "
"Of course." Rusty sighed. "I just
wanted to be sure."
This was how it was that Mollie
Elwell was kept in ignorance of
which girl it was that Jim Elweil
had loved. But never a word on the
subject from her. She and Prof
wondered at times. too. whether ony- .
thing ever would come out of the!
strange meeting Jim and the girls
had had with that woman in Chi-
cago. Prof had written. as Jim had
suggested. to Nine Kingsley's addrcu
in New York. But the letter bod
come back. ~
But Demo Destiny did hold some-
thing else in store for those two
girls whose mother’s name had re.
mained such a mystery these years.
She held the ends of the broken
threads of their lives. and these end-
she was beginning to pick up even
then in o. hospital over in the copltsl
