"I do not; mean xor you to tuae pan in it Come with me." She led the way to the aloove and parted the curtuiua. "Sil there until he leave." "I have no wiah to overhear your con versation." " l!ut I have reason! for wiihing yoa to do o." "It ehall be ao, then," "Onr interview will not be an extend ed one," waa her figniflcant comment aa she drew the onrtaina together io at to shut me from sight. My situation waa peculiar. But for her command I could never have con sented to play the cowan in that man ner. Tbe thought that poeaibly she might need my assistance helped to jus tify the breach of decorum on my part A minute later I heard a footfall on tbe carpet and the voioe of my double: "Ah, Esther, I'm delighted to meet voul You must have been worried over my absence, but really it couldn't be helped." I judged that he advanced to take her band, bnt if so she rejected it, and the two sat down near the window on the opposite sido of tbe room beyondwy siKht, though not a syllable escaped ine. As yet she had not spoken, but he gave her no rest. "How do you like my looks without mv mustache? I "As well as with it," she coolly re- nlied. "But why did yon remove It?' "Ob, jnst a fancyl I like a change now and then." "You are sure there was no special reason?" "Of course. What are yoa hinting at?" k- "Do yoa know a gentleman named Mr. Edwaid Kenmore of New York city?" The cool headed villain could not bide his confusion, though be made a atrnns effort at a rally. "I judire yoa refer to that poor devil who stole your chestnut and was caught before be could get out of tbe country. He claimed that that was his name." "While the others insisted, yon among them, that he was Hank Beyer that is. yourself." "It was not I who did so, though I was present with the party who made a social call upon him, but suppose we let that business drop, " added tbe young man, foreseeing tbe complications that were inevitable if the conversation went on as it bad started. "Hut I do not choose to let it drop. and there was now a ring in ber voice that was new to uie. " What do you think, Henry, of a man who commits a crime ami then urges the punishment therefor npou a niau whom be knows to be Innocent? "I should say it was dcooed shabby treatmeut, provided such a thing ever took plaoe, but I have a better opinion of human nature tban that. "So bad I until yesterday. I can im atrine no villainy more debased than that, and yet, Henry, it is precisely what yoa have done. "Have a care, Esther. Such words are unpardonable. Yoa do not realise what you are aayiug. "I realize every word and mean it Yon stole our horse night before last from our stable.

Yesterday afternoon yon rode him down to the junction of tbe roads and told bim to a Mr. Kenmore, who mounted and rode bim to Aldine. Tbe horse wss identified by several who had been out looking fur bim and wbo took tbe direction towaid your home. Tbe esse appeared strong against him wbo had truated your honor, aud ynu helped along the impression of his guilt by ev ery means iu your power. You removed your mustache and dressed differently ; not only that, bnt disguised your voice and went into tbe tun witb the angered men wbo sought bis life. He punted yoa oat snd appealed to yoa in vain. Yoa have visited this section an infre quently of late that very few know of tbe chanpaa In yonr personal appear aniav Yoa were able to deceive Ihetn, and bad yoa posseaecd tbe courage would bare helped run down tbe tuan after bis escape from custody." This was a scathing amkifiiiaient, and I should have given a good deal for a look at tbe couatenanos of tbe man at whom the words were directed. But be bad nerve, and I beard bis liht laugh. "It U aa interesting ttory which yoa kav. told; bat, my dear girl, yoa have 3 WHO? ETC, ETC. get things awfully mixed. Tba young man iu whom yoa are so interested came up from New Orleans with me on the Bouuie Belle. He is a professional gambler whose name I have forgotten. We parted at the SouthSeld landing. and tbe next time I saw bim waa when I reached Aldine and found tbe mob hotfoot after bim. I went into tbe inn witb tbem, not dreaming wbom tbey were bunting. Then I learned for tbe first time that he waa supposed to be myself. Every one waa referring to him as Hank Beyer, because it can't be de niel tbal he bears a close resemblance to me. Since no one seemed to suspect my identity and tbe people were in a most dangerous mood, I let tbe fancy go, relying upon tbe future for its cor rection. If they expected the pleasure of lynching Hank Beyer, I was willing tbey should have it, and one of these days I should have tbe laugh on them. That's all there is to that story, dearest Esthe." This piece of fiction may be classified as of the daring order. It mnst have been that long immunity had rendered Beyer reckless, for when all tbe circum stances are remembered no yarn could have been more absurd. He must have known that its falsity was certain to be exposed very soon, bnt with the rash self confidence be had already shown he probably believed be could brazen it out, though how a child could have seriously entertained such a belief is beyond my comprehension. "That story, Henry, wonld be inter esting if it were true, but it is not, aud both of nt know it "Yon are ready to accept the word of any one in preference to mine?" he remarked in an aggrieved tone. "Yea; I should accept that of a con vict In the penitentiary above your affi davit. I repeat that it was you who stole tbe horse from Colonel Mansley, from me, auR then cnuuiugly made jt appear that an innocent man was the criminal. Yoa consented even that he should be supposed to be you for the sake of making your villainy successful, though it is beyond my understanding how yon hoped to succeed. But heaven baa prevented the success of your wick edness. Tbe man is free, and yon oan only save yourself by flight. Accept my counsel aud flee without an instant's delay." A slight sound showed that the caller had risen to his feet. His voice had a monrufnl, pathetic tone as he said: "Are yon in earnest, Esther?" , "Never more to. Until I hHd received the proof I never believed it possible for a human being to lie as haso aa yon have proved yourself to be. Once I beld yon in tome regard, aud even pitied yoa, believing yoa were vilitied and were innocent of tbe wrongdoing laid at your door, but now I know that great as have been the sins of which yon were accused the bnlf of them has not been told. I despise yon beyond the power of language to express. " "Those are cruel words, Esther," he pleaded, taking a stop toward her. "But true. Stop I Do not come nearer or I shall call for help. I pray that I may never look upon your face again. Henoeforward we are strangers to the end of life." "Bnt, Esther, dear Esther, will yon not hear me?" "Not a word! Out of my presence, and if you wish to save your worthless life you will not linger by tho way. Tbe whole troth will soon be known, and yoa will have to take tbe place of that man whom yoa so deeply wronged" Bat tbe caller had heard enough, and did not staud on tbe order of bis going. Mist Mansley and I once more Were alone. CHAPTER XXIV. It woold be difficult to analyze my feelings during the remarkable inter view between my double and Mist Mansley. Her wordt were too plain to be mistaken, and when Hank Beyer went forth from that southern borne it was with the knowledge that everything was ended between bim and tbe beaute ous woman of whose love any man might feel proud. Unto few indeed la given the privi lege of making tbe acquaintance of a member of tbe other sex as nan teen mine In this case. Miss Mansley bad been tbe meant of saving me ftom a vio lent death, for It Is beyond supposition that I could have effected my escape from tbe room in tbe inn without the help she gave at the critical moment My gratitude was deep, and yet so per verse is male human nature that I was uncomfortable and restless over a poiut that I bad no right or business to allow to intrude into my mind. When abe left ber home on the pre vious evening and walked to the banilet of Aldine for the purpose of helping the man in imminent peril, did she believe be was Hank Beyer, whom she hod now just dismissed from her presence? My belief waa tbat sbe did, and believing tbua I was miserable. I waited In the alcove until sbe sum moned me forth, when I resumed my old place directly In front of ber and at one side of tbe room. I was amazed to observe scarcely any signs of agitation over what was certaip!y an extraor dinary Interview. She was a brilliant brunette, with bair and eyes of Intense blackness aud a complexiiai almoet olive. There seemed to bea faint heiht ening of color and a brighter luster in tbe ryes tbat intbralled me. "I am puzzled over one thing."" sbe remarked with that qniel tell rjrsaet- sion which was one or ner mow aaiuira bl characteristics "Can I b of any help to your "It Is my anxiety regarding your safety. I do not know when father will return, and every bonr of hit absence Increases your personal danger."

He saw me enter your grounds and knows I am here." Tbe information startled her, and sha rose and went to each of the windows in turn, scanning all of the country in her field of vision. "I sue nothing to cause alarm," she said, coming back to ber teat, "but there can be no question that it exists." Such being the fact, it ia my duty to depart at once, I have no right to bring trouble upon the household from whicb I have received kindnesses that I can never repay or forget I will leave." "Stay a moment," she said at I rose to my feet "We most make no mis take. If father returns and yoa are gone, be will be displeased with me." "Why?" "Because yoa were invited to onr home, and a Misaissippian defends the safety aud honor of hit guest to the death." "A most chivalrous sentiment bat it renders my dnty none tbe lest argent " "Have yoa decided whither yoa will go and how yon will reach that point?" "I can walk to Sonthfield and there take tbe steamer op or down tbe river. " "And in trying to do to place your self in tbe hands of the very ones whom you have been seeking to avoid. I should put my chestnut at your disposal were it not for one thing." "What is that?" " Your unpardonable insult " "Heavens! Uf what intuit have I been guilty?" "Yoa bought him for $50." I joined in her laugh, but the flash of mirth instantly passed, and the add- fiff She rose and went to rarh of the irfndovs a turn. ed, "Mounted upon him yoa need fear no pursuit " " But it overtaken by accident how shall I explain the possession of the ani mal which it is believed I have already once stolen?" " Refer inquiring ones to me, or, bet ter still, perhaps, I will give yoa a bill of sale tbat no one can question." "You ore fertile in resources, bnt it will be difficult for me to return your animal after riding him so far." "I have not asked yoa to return him." "Assuredly I shall do so." "Have yoa not already purchased him?" "But at a price that tbe rightful owner considers an insult Besides, the one from whom I bought bim was not the owner, and my title therefore is de fective."
