A TRIFLING
MISTAKE
By THOMAS R. DUNN
I wag dressing for dinner one even
ing . when tue telephone bell rang.
Stepping to the Instrument, I beard
very sweet feminine voice nay:
"Is that you, Mr. PeuifoertonT'
"Yen, I'm I'eiiiberton."
"You're to he nt the corner of Elshth
and Walnut this evening at 9. Take
the cab you will find there and"
"Who are you?" I uUeJ, liut under
standing all this talk.
"I'm EUle Strong. You will be driv
en to the park entrance. Go to the
fountain, where you will find Edith.
Carry a rose In Oh, henveus, some
one Is coining:"
There was a dirk and that wns the
end of these remarkable instructions.
It was evident that there had been a
call for some one bearing my name,
and the telephone girl or the person
calling or some one had marie a mis
take.
Now, I would not on any account
take advantage of such a blunder to
gratify curiosity, pry into other peo
ple's affairs or for any other puriHwe.
But I felt it lncumlient ou me to cor
rect the error If possible. This other
Pemberton would not get the message
Intended for him. the driver of the
cab might wait all night on his box,
and Ettie might grow no desperate as
to drown herself In the fountain. It
behooved me to set matters rljiht.
I called up the telephone ottlce and
asked who had given me the last call.
I might as well have asked the op
erator to tell me how many grains
there are on an ear of corn. I look
ed In the directory for the name Pem
berton, but mine was the only one
there.
There was nothing for It but that I
should go to the corner of Eighth and
Walnut streets, take the cab, proceed
to the fountain and tell Edith that she
needn't wait any longer because the
real her real Pemberton had not
been Informed of the meeting.
I confess 1 was somewhat curtooa to
know why a conveyance had been pro.
tided and what was to be the upshot
of the business. But I resolved etm
ply to state that a mistake had been
made and ask no qmwtion. I thought
via the! " cery to carry a rose In order
j that I should te recognized for the
' echar f allow or I might m wU txjj
two), so ou my way to the place
where I should meet the carriage I
stopped nt n flower shop and bought
one. The cab was In position, and I
opened the door. The driver asked if
I was Mr. Pemberton. nud I told him
that I wns. Then lie drove me to the
park. I alighted and went up the
walk to the fountain.
Two girls were standing looking at
the dripping water, and one of them
on seeing the rose In my hand left
her friend nnd made straight for me.
"I have come to tell you," I said, rais
ing my hat, "that there has been a
mistake."
"Good gracious! What's gone wrong?
Is it all olT?"
"A telephone message came to me
this afternoon from a lady whom I
don't know."
"Certainly you don't know tier. Tou
are not expected to know her."
"You see. I'm not that is, there's
only one person of my name la the
telephone look"
"You're Mr. Pendleton, aren't you?"
"Certainly I'm Pendleton. There's
no doubt about that, but"
"Come! Let us hurry. We'll be too
late. .Maud told me that If I failed her
it would break her all up; she wouldn't
lie able to get through with It."
If this young woman had been a
scarecrow or suspicious looking I
might have al tempted further explana
tion. I'm she was hs pretty as a
pencil, ii ml if she wouldn't give me a
chance It seemed to me that I was
excusable for letting her have her way.
I'uttlng her arm through mine, she
hurried me to the cab. We got In.
and the cabman drove away without
any Instructions. 1 presumed he had
been given them before
"Now I'll explain." said my kidnap
er. "You see. Maud Farnsworth and
Nod Iligles have lufii dead In love
with each other for a long while
Maud's parents think they know bet
ter whom Maud wants to marry than
she does herself. She und Ned are to
be married secretly, and yon and I are
to lie the witnesses."
Oh! That's alir
"That's all! Why. Isn't that a good
deal?"
"But please tell me what I have to
do with It."
"Why. Maud has made all the ar
rangements She asked nte whom I
would like to take tr.o to the psirsouage.
and I said It rialn't ma;ter to me; she
uilglit find s.iiit. o'io herself. She said
she would and made all the arrange
ments."
I leaned back on the cushion and
chuckled
"What amuses you'" asked my com-
Mllloo.

"1 tried to tell ypu that a mistake
has been made, but you wouldn't listen
to me. I am pleused to learn that no
hnrtn has been done. On the contrary,
I have inude a very pleasant ac
quaintance."
I told her the whole story, at which
she was greatly amused, remarking
that It was a good joke on Maud. At
the parsonage Maud started on seeing
a stranger In me. but us I was only In
tended for a witness and she was Ten
much rattled nt the step she was tak

And that's how I met '-he girl I mar
