A Duplicate
Disposition'
Dt CARL SARGENT CHASE
"I am engaged," said my friend Rob
Turner, "tu a irl who M-ems t ihae
two IixKnitiiis. At 1 Lime be Riven

genuous, childlike, bappj-po-iuky and
with It all extremely amisible."
"Which of her dUpwitioiis do you
prefer?" I aked.
"1 don't know. I c-onfewthnt a
mau who thinks and plans, is pref.-r
able to one who dm not. Nvert In
less, 8D amiable woman Istthe delight
f a household, I wish you would
make her acquaintance and tell hip
whi. h Hide of her makeup, you-prefcr--Just
for curiosity, you know."
I was Introduced by l'".U t Alpha
Whltcomb why her parent -jiarut-t
ber for the first letter of the (Jreck
alphabet 1 wafi at a lo.s to know and
made a numUr of calls iin her. As
Rob's tnot tntini'ite friend. I was'-re-eel
veil with a welcome; Imt. of eoure.
I didn't tell her that 1 had ln-on intro
duced to (study her duplicate diisl
tioii. What Boh had said of her ap
peured to he true, though during a call
I found that either one of her disposi
tions was In the ascendant. She- was
never both during the same ilL
It seemed to me that when slow was
the serious Ming Wliitcomb she bathed
slightly different from when t-he was
the amiable M! Wlilt conib, hnt I
have, known persons to appear like dif
ferent persons under different, emo
tions. The Whltcomb drawing room
where I was received was always, dim
ly lighted by these glol. lamps intend
ed to give a BillHlued artilic hue to
everything, and I confess that 1 found
It difficult to even pet a satisfactory
look at the young lady.
I had not vli-ited Miss Whltcomb
many times before I discovered that I
preferred her Infinitely in her amiable
character. I will admit that this may
have been due to the fact that when
she was In this mood she seemed to
assimilate best with my njvti makeup.
At any rate I was always delighted to
find her in lighter vein and correspond
lugly disappointed when she was seri
ous. However, whether it was that
she saw that the former disposition
suited Die best she finally received me
as the Jolly, frank girl who accorded
ho well with my own idiosyncrasies.
It was after I had seen her several
times In this mood, passing each time
an evening with her, that I began to
feel that I might be placed in a coin
promising position toward my friend
Bob, her Ounce. It occurred to me
that I waa falling In love wllh the girl.
My visits nront be stopped at once. I
ha4 UjiuUaed iwu a week when 1 re
ceived a note rouTher ttlallng that Le
wbhcl to see me about a matter which
was ho trivial that I was sure It waa a
mere excuse to have ue call again. I
eonf.-s I did not have the strength of
will to refuse her Invitation. I called
nd met with unmistakable evidence
of her favor.
I was frightened. It was evident not
only that I had conceited a liking for
my friend's fiancee, but that she bad
cowaivrd a liking for me. What waa
to lie done? I thought the matter
er and telephoned !lob that I wished
to see him the same evening. When
he came 1 told him that I bad studied
the double disposition of his fiancee ao
far as was necessary and was ready to
report. I Infinitely preferred ber when
she was the genial, amiable Miss Whlt
comb. "And yoo have tio use for ber when
she U the steady Miss Whltcomb?" be
asked.
"I did not say that. I said that I pre
ferred her In her lighter mood."
"I)o you think you could love ber In
that mood?"
"What a question! I shouldn't think
of loving a girl who belonged to my
friend."
"Nonsense; I don't believe there U
any man. however honorable, who
would ghe up the woman he loved for
his friend simply because that friend
had forest.llhil him."
"Well, what of that when the girl Is
true to the man she first met?"
I "She Isn't In this rase."
j I was thunderstruck. Ilad Miss
Whltcomb confessed to her lover that
I lie preferred me to him?
I "ISob," I said, "what are yon drlv-
I Ins at?"
! "I Introduced you to a girl with two
i depositions. I prefer her serious side,

how would it do to divide her between

' What does all this mean?"
j "I will meet you at her home this
j evening and explain. lie there by 8
o'clock." And without a word more

MY WANT

By MOIJ.IE K. U'LTHEWFIi.
When I waa eighteen years old,
my fal her nml mother both Mug
dead, mid I, not having cent lu tlm
world, said to a friend one day that I
thought I would tuko n trip to Kurope.
I well remember the look she gave me.
Indeed, so Impressed was she with tin
absurdity of my Idea that she didn't
think It worth whllo to remark upon
It. The truth Is I wns dreaming aloud,
Rut a few weeks laler 1 learned
that 1 hud been left a legacy of $(M).
Then I put my dream to practice
Dreamers nro not understood. There
Is likely to be some method In their
madness, hut their more practical sc.

rrnbbe.1 old mnld. Hha waa not only

diea Kho waa ao stingy that aba
would not tip u t,mn atewardista,

What could I do-tea the creature

her all the way over, and when we
readied Southampton, she being unable
to leave the ship without assistance. I
was obliged lo take her ashore with
me. When I got her there I felt com
pelled to take her to London.
"Hadn't you any relative to come
with you?" 1 naked
"No, and I couldn't afford to pay the
way of any of them If I had."
"Can't you afford lo hire soma one to
take care of you?"
"No."
Well, the womnn continued to grow
worse. had the choice of deserting
her, leaving her to the tender men lee
of nobody or staying with her. I didn't
s ruplu to tell her that she was spoil

better go on and leave her to her fate.
Hhe might ns well have told me to give
her poison to gut rid of her. At first
she wouldn't do anything to relieve ma
if she could, and afterward ahe
couldn't. 8he continued to sink, but
remained nllve, ao that I couldn't get
"way from her and pursue my trip.
There was one curiosity In Undon I
