Patsy Donovan Is probably proving

cUtton. 1JU.
There Is moment In my life that I
can never forget, fan you guess what
It la? A death acene? No. A pro
posal of marriage? No, A terrible ae
ctdentr No. Well, what Is It?
The seeing of my own Individual se'f
In duplicate
I wa Bitting at a typewriter in an
offlc wher I was at the time m ploy
ed, and. happening to look out Into the
court, there on th other side of the
quadrangle at a window on story be
neath m stood my own Individual per
son. The only difference between my
other self and m was In the dress. I.
alttlng at my typewriter, was In plalu
offic costume; I In the otber part of
the building waa richly clad In street
dress.
I dropped my work, 'rose from my
eat and. pale and trembling, went to
my employer and asked to be excused
"OWn DAT I MW IT AO AIM."
for the rest of the' day. He aaw by
my appearance that something of mo
ment had happened and at once grant
ed my request He asked me If I
would tell him what had troubled me.
and I said:
"Shortly before coming to your em
ploy I Buffered a nervoua breakdown
and passed several months In a sani
tarium. I was discharged .as perfect
ly well, but a few moments ago I suf
fered a relapse."
"How were yon affected 7" be asked.
"I aaw Oh, don't ask me. I can't
tell you what I saw. - It was some
thing ordinary, but It waa awful."
Now, my employer, Edward Wheeler,
had treated me since I came Into his
service with great consideration. In
deed, It seemed to me at times that I
waa becoming more to htm than mere
ly hla typewriter. We were In his prl
rate office wltb no one else present,
and, seeing that I needed soothing, be
spoke to me In a quiet voice, taking
my hand In his. The touch rather than
the words quieted me. Placing me in
an easy chair, he said:
"Tell me more about this matter."
I told him how I had seen myself at
an opposite window.
He attempted to reassure me by say
ing that I had seen another person. I
told him that if this was the explana
tion there would have been aome dlf-.
ference between the two. however
alight Waa It not mere reasonable to
suppose, since I had suffered from
similar visions before, that this one
waa the effect of a physical weakness T
He did not assent to this, but re
frained from arguing with me, saying
that if I desired It he would call a car
riage and send me home, but he
thought it would be better for me to
occupy my mind with my work. If I
had had any relative in th world, any
home to go to, I would have declined
his advice. As it was I accepted It.
He recommended my remaining where
I was for awhile, and an there waa a
comfort in having him near me I wan
glad to do ao. He handed mo a news
paper, then went on with whnt work
he bad before him. I nat there for li'ilf
an hour, during which per-ioiitt cam:
and went. Then, feeling better. I re
turned to my desk and to work.
Mr. Wheeler did not mention thin
matter to me again for several Any;
then one morning when standing be
nlde me with some papers be wished
me to copy, looking out Into the court,
heaald:
"At which window did you see your
double?"
I pointed to tb window, but he made
no further remark and, turning, went
away.
Very gradually my vision, as I called
It, ceased to trouble' me. or, rather,
came mors and more rarely Into my
mind, and when It did ! wan better
able to put It nway from me. 1 had
quite recovered when one day I aaw It
again.
When I ai.y that I met my other self
on the street, that my other self parsed
me, reflecting my own look, and that I
waa again seized with terror. It munt
be remembered that I was In an over
strung condition. It la easy for a nor
mal person to say, "Why didn't you
go to her and say somethlngr My
answer Is that I believed ber to be a
creation of my own brain, nu evidence
that I was again sufferlrg from what
I feared might result In radness.
V
I was out at lunch at tb Urn and
en my way back to th office. Aa soon
aa I reached It 1 went to Mr. Wheeler
and. sinking luto a chair, wild in an
almost luaudibl whUper:
"I have acvu it again."
Tula time h gave in a differeut
treatment, lustcad of the aympatlvetlc
soothing I bad received from hlio
before b t rented me with aeverity.
"NonHiiwr be said, "You've seen a
real person. You are working yourse.f
up to a fmiy by tbliiklug your brum
la In an ahuoruml coudltlou."
"How could this be when my other
self reflected the expression on ui.v
own face?"
"The other ih'Ijoii was doubllo a
much astonished aa you."
1 declined to be com Ineed.
"I waa lu hopes." he added, "that
you would uot see the person for
awhile, for 1 believe that au explaua
tlou is forthcoming 1 have only tliU
morning come upon au advertUeuieut
which 1 think bears on the case."
"An advertisement!" 1 exclaimed.
"Yes. I was debating with , myself
whether if 1 should sKiik to you abonl
it 1 would throw you Into hysterics."
"Hysterics: Why should It?"
"Oh, you ure all nervlshed up nud
ready to twist anything Into vldem
that you are kslng your mind. Sit
down there." polntlug to a chair. "1
wish to ask you some question."
I seated inyaelf, wondering what was
coming.
"Did your aunt ever tell you any
thing about your parentage T'
"Not much. I waa very sensitive.
She died when I was quite young. 1
knew there was something very un
pleasant a family akeleton-and l
dreaded to know It"
"You ar Edith Webster, aud you
were called Polly by your father and
mother."
, "How do you know that?"
"Never mind. Your father aud
mother were divorced about a year
i I on my way back to th omc. A aoon
after yon were bom,"
"Is that tbe skeleton T'
"You were retained by yonr mother,
who died when you were four years
old. Do you remember her?"
"No."
"Your aunt took you at your moth
er's death. Your father disappeared,
supposedly to get- rid of paying the
alimony fixed by the court at the time
of the divorce. Your aunt had nothing
to leave you: consequently you are
earning your living as a typewriter."
"How did you come to know all
this?",
"I came to know It from my Interest
In you. When you told me that you
had aeen your doubje I felt Bur you
had aeen some real person who re
sembled you. You may remember that
I asked you at what window you had
seen your vision. Well. I went into
the office to which that window be
longs and made inquiries."
"What did you Arid out?"
"Not all 1 wish to know. You are
too emotional for me to give yon all
my confidence Just at present. I can
only Bay now that I expect to prove
tbat tbe person you aaw Is a woman
and not a creation of your brain."
I begged him to tell me more, but lie
would not. and I was forced b go
to work unsstutfled. I consequently
blundered all tbe afternoon. Though I
wa reassured, one thing troubled me
Mr. Wheeler'a severe treatment of me.
And yet I felt tbat It had done more
to enable me to shake off my nervous
ness than when he had aympatlii7.ed
with me. Indeed, he told me after
ward tbat he knew I needed Just such
treatment.
A few daye later Mr. Wheeler came
to my desk and told me to come Into
his private office. At the same time
he looked nt roe with a kindly smile
and added:
"I have a surprise for you. Yon
mustn't let it shock you."
Wondering. I went with blm. I
found In his office a man and a wo
man. Great heavens! Tbe woman was my
vision.
She came toward me wltb out
stretched arms. I drew back In fright.
"Don't be afraid of me, Polly. I'm
Dolly, your twin slater. Father often
talked to me about you and snld that
'when his ship came In' hp -would find
you for me. He died Just aa the ahlp
came In, and I have been bunting for
you ever since."
She put her arms about me. and my
head sank down on ber shoulder. She
patted me affectionately and suld:
"I don't wonder you hove been
wrought up over seeing me. When we
met on the street the other day, al
though I have been long looking for
you, I was so atartled that I let you
paas. I turned back nt once, hut had
lost you In the crowd. You don't seem
aa strong us lam, but you won't have
to work any more. We're rich. Father
left half to you that Is, if you were
alive and I contd find you. When
father and mother separated mother
took you and father took me. You
have the same rights aa I."
As soon as my sister and I withdrew
from our embrace I turned to look at
Mr. Wheeler. His eyes were bent on
me with an expression that went
straight to my heart. I put out my
hand to him Impulsively and returned
Is glance wltb one of the same kind.
"Without his Interest In the matter
I doubt If we would have ever got to
gether." said my sister.
Gradually all tbe details came out.
and I heard how Mr. Wheeler had
learned of my aister's presence In the
tlry and had seen her advertisement
for me. Dolly and I are both now
married. I married my employer. I
am In excellent health and have no
fear of seeing any more visions.
My experience goes to ahow the pow
er of the mental faculties over the
bodily. I verily believe thnt had the
matter not been brought to a climax
I should har been a nervoua wreck.

. . THE DIVINE YEAST.
Bagged as to clothes, 'but clean aa
to face, a ten-year-old newsboy led
dog Into the office of a loan agency
at Kansas CJUy.
Plainly tbe boy and the dog were
cbnms of long standing and close fel
lowship. "Do youse leoj money here?" he fal
tered when the clerk Inquired what
be wished. - " 'Cause If you do I'd llki
to borrow two bits on this here dog."
There was a gulp In the boy's throat.
He hastened to recite the merits of
the animal. "He's a mighty good dog.
be Is. and his name's Hover, and"
the youngster's voice trolled off Into
a partially conquered soli.
"Don't worry, Itover." turning to
bis chum. "I ll Ku you Hack agin,
old boy, 'cause you an' me's got to
stick together." There were teara In
tbe blue eyes of tb j kid.
Said tbe clerK:
"When .1 told blm we did not lend
money on dogs tbe child appeared ac
tually relieved."- And when asked why
be wa In such dire need of 25 cents
be Btammered: ,'
"Well, my sister, abe la seven years
old. and this Is, ber birthday, and she
Is sick, awl I thought I'd like to get
her a present, because w'r poor, and
ah doesn't, get present Ilk some lit
tle girls." f ,
Upon being questioned as to how h
would be able to repay tbe loan and
redeem hla dog he brightened.
"Why, you see, I sell paper, and I'd

He waa willing ,
For the aake of the sick sister Rover

Mark the child!
Does It seem pitiful thnt a young

Yes, but there'll In the boy tbe niak

Infant Hons and bears are now gen

mer times the word "wbelw" would
have been used. Kvery edition of the

the lion or bear. A "cub" meant nrtg
Inally In Engilsn only a young fo
But by Hhflkespeare'a time It was h
slhle to tsifc. of the "young suckling
cuba" of a-sh bear, and Waller even
applied "cub" to a young wnaie. now
known aa a "calf." The origin of
"cub" la not really known, though the
conjecture connecting it with the old
Irish "rub." a dog. wonid make it akin
to the Latin "cams" and Khgllsh
