Are you Willy The voh-e came from a very pretty :rl who was looking Into my face In qulrlngly.- My inline is William, uud It Is so common for men that I was not especially surprised ut being asked the question by a stranger, thinking her to have made a mistake In the per. sou. My reply was: "It la". "1 supposed so by the violets. Cutno: let us get ou to the train. 1 have m.v ticket" She alipiied her urm through mine us confidingly us If I belonged to her. Not knowing what to do I did nothing, bin I fully Intended tu inuke her aware of her error at once. ' "That last letter of Clam's." she suld ax we walked to the Iralu. "decided me." Curiosity here stepjied lu lu bike a hand. I wondered what Clnrn hud suld In the letter. "L'm." I suld by wuy of saying notb big. Hut by this time we reached lin ear steps, uud I banded tho young lady tu She took a seat, uud I sat down beside her. I Hud thus fur taken no advantage of her mistake. I would lei bur go 011 a little further before head ing her off. I have noticed that If a woman has unythlug to suy she will usually say It without encouragement. "Clurn Is Just too lovely for any thing." suld the girl. "Uiul" "She has been very kind to mp. When she wrole me that you bad grown tired of your lonely life, that a big city like New York is of ull places In the world the most desolate, thai you wished she would Introduce you to some girl who would make you a good wife and without the bother or a courtship, I realized -that It was the same for meu us fur women, und. while I didn't like your words 'the bother of coiirtlng'-l felt that lu the main you were right. Then I received her letter inuklng the iirrungeuieui for us to spend the week end with her and saying that you would meet me for this train and would wear u botitou ulere of violets." I hud got the whole story In a nut shell. There was none of that shooting out lu different directions like a burst ing rocket, but a concise narration of facts. Just then the conductor ciiiue along hiking tickets. My compiiuliin showed one for IMine. a station not quite so far as Seubrlght. Both tickets were tnken up. and she did not see that mine was lor u different station from her. I begun to explain: "1 dure say you will blame me when you buve heard" "Chiru told me all about your mar rluge und divorce." she interrupted. "I may as well say right here that I don't consider you In the least to blame. Indeed I don't see how you could have acted otherwise." Why not make the break right here'; I concluded to plunge. "1 am not a divorced man." I said. "I buve never been married. I think you must have made a mistake. Kor whom have you tnken meV" Slip looked at me lu astouisbuiput. "Clnrn gave me no name except Will She said your other name would come later If (the affair proceeded." "I am' quite sure there has been a mistake.

Hut I re gret that you should have fallen Into the wrong hands. Is there anything I can do in right matters?" "No. no. iid!" ; "How do we know that If you have! made a mistake Kate has not?" The young lady was apparently at least calmed by ibis. At any rate, she i seemed Interested.
