THE COMPROMISE
Sy GLADYS P. ANOERSEN.
Mrs. 4dama was making prepara
tions for the noon meal when the door
opened quickly and girl about six
teen rushed in. qnlts out of breath.
Tin here at last mother."
Mrs. Adams glanced up from bar
work. "I was calling Vivian she
said.
"Why. mother, I am Vivian." The
girl threw back her curly head an1
laughed merrily. "Won't yon ever be
able to tell us twins apart r
"1 thought by the way you came In
through the door 'twas Virginia. She
always comes in like a shot from a
gun. Where have you girls heenr
"IHiwn by the river. The wind
blew so we did not hoar you when
you first called."
"Well." said Mrs. Adams. "Miss
Emery hns Just been here and Invit
ed both of you girls to her musleale
next Wednesday evening.
"She snld ; was Blnr to be Jint
fraud. Professor West, wbo hns jiw
returned from France. Is cuing to
sine. He Is Sergeant West now, vou
know."
"You said she Invited us both?"
Vlvlnn gasped.
"Yes, dear, nnd I am afraid ymi
have a hard time decMinj;." her m,. ti
er answered.
"There's nothing to decide. It's Vir
ginia's turn. I went to the sn.
last month, you know. (h. h.m I
wish we hail more than one : .'it
dress!" she exclaimed passionately.
It was not until Wednesday morn
ing that Vivian appeared to cheer up
somewhat. She had a consultation
with her mother, who Interrupted
her by exclaiming, "It will never do.
Of course there's no harm In It, hut
If ynu get Into any trouble, don't
blame anyone but yourselves.
"No one will ever know about It."
responded Vivian confidently.
Til go down to the village now and
call at Mrs. Blake's. I know she will
be willing."
Mrs. Blake lived across from Miss
Emery's, and she received Vivian cor
dially. That evening, Virginia, In her
pink silk muslin that belonged to her
and her sister Jointly, went timidly
up the path leading to the Emery
home, feeling very happy.
Miss Emery, In beautiful brocaded
Ilk, was passing through the hall
when Virginia was shown In by the
butler.
"Which one Is Itr she asked. Tm
orry you both couldn't have some."
Virginia was placed where she could
see everyone who played or sang.
Then she gave herself up to enjoy,
ment. She watched Sergeant West
eagerly. It was only In dreams thst
she had ever heard such tones.
Sergeant West saw her and met tha
vivid glance of her eyes.
He turned to his hostess and said.
"Can that young lady slngT
"Indeed she can," answered Mlsa
Emery proudly.
The next moment Virginia felt a
hand on her shoulder. She looked
admiringly Into Sergeant West's face.
"Will you sing for me?" he asked.
"I will plsy fur ypu and you may
sing what you please. Are you will
ingr "I'll try," she answered shyly.
It was nearly an hour later that
Sergeant West again remembered the
girl.
"I want you to Ring once more," he
said. "I have a plan. Tou have a
voice, and with teaching, you could
become a singer. Perhaps I can ar
range to give you a couple of hours
each week."
"I'm afraid I am a bit timid," said
the girl, "but since you ask me I will
try."
He was sorry for her as she stood
by the piano. Her face was very
white, and her lips almost stiff.
"Have courage," said the singer.
"Ton did so well before."
The accompaniment began; but
when an untutored, but rich contralto
voice commenced the song there wss
a sudden discord among the keys of
the piano, and Sergeant West wheel
ed ahont and stared at the trembling
girl beside him. "What does It
mean?" cried the artist.
"It cannot be possible that this girl
has two distinct singing voices, one
very high and the other very low."
The girl at whom everyone was
now looking, tried twice to speak he
fore she could say a word. Then she
stammered. "I I am the other twin
If you please, sir."
"You are not the one that sang
first?" he asked.
"No, sir, that was my sister, Vir
ginia. It was her turn with our
dress "
Vivian stammered, then was silent.
One half-hour before, Virginia hud
slipped out unobserved nnd met her
Rlster at Mrs. Blake's. In their hurry
In exchanging gowns. Virginia had not
told her sister she had been obliged
to sing.

returned to New Tork. While ha
was waiting for his train, he saw two
girls In plain gingham gowns, hurry
ing down the road. It was Virginia
that spoke for both.
"Sergeant West, we could not help
coming to see yon off and to thank
yon."
Happiness shone In two pair of eyes
when he answered, "I .shall not forget
the lessons I am to give you when I
return next month."
