f Tho Real Townsend ij
A Complication That Was Born X

By MIX It K. MIHLRCIL
& Coiiyrtslil, 1510, ly American rraat
Association.
Tor tho EiUnghnina," I said to Uk
levator Uv a 1 handed blm mj
card.
I whs la a Now York apartment
houe for call ou sows old friends
of mine. Tim elevator boy banded my
card to tho telephone boy, who an
nounced to tho Effingham that Mr.
Townsend bud called.
"All right," said the Utter after re
ceiving a reply. "You're to go up."
1 Htopped on the elevator and was
soou utiticrvd by a maid In a black
dress i id a wlillo rufltcd apron into
the draw lug room of an apartment on
the sixth floor. There vi no ouo In
the room, which surprised rue, for 1
was very Intimate with the F.Olusbam
aud upoMl that at the announce
ment of uiy name the whole family
would be wultUix to greet me.
It was fully ten mluutes that I sat
waiting when I noticed that the light
shining through u keyhole lu A door
opening Into pa adjolulng room sud
denly save place to daikiK-M.
"One of the girl," 1 "aid to myself,
"Is "spying ou me. That's a amno two
cau piny at"
I got up from my sent, strolled
i about the room, lookluu ut the pic
tures ou the TV in I us If to kill time
while waiting, and 'ii I reiiclutl the
door in tmestiou jvil U.v turn d tic
knob and threw the 1im r op.'ii.
There, kneeling so as to bring nu eye
opposite the keyhole, was a youn l:idy
1 bnd never awn. Her face wus rl:i
aon, aud after looking nt me for a i o-
j ment sLo covered her face with her
; bands.
I saw at a glunce that uoi only one
mistake bud been made, but several.
There might be fifty famine In tlio
building, aud there were probably
more than one named Kmnghatn. I
J bad doubtless got luto the wrong flat.
! But why was the girl peering at me
through the keyhole? Perhaps there
! bad been a double coincidence of
names, she knowing some one by the
j name of Townsend, pr she did not
j know any one by that name and was
anxious to reconnolter the visitor be
fore apiearlng. My curiosity being
i aroused, I resolved not to spoil my
i chance of enlightenment by giving
anything away. I proposed to listen,
not to talk.
The girl arose and, still blushing to
the roots of ber balr, came forward.
"I am mortlfled beyond measure."
she said, "at being caught In such a
position, but you most admit that be
fore receiving a call from the man I
am to marry I would naturally desire
to see him unobserved myself."
"The most natural thing In the
world," I replied, repressing a start on
learning that I was to be the girl's
husband.
"I received your note." she contin
ued, "saying you would call yesterday,
and later your telepram that you bnd
suddenly bcn called away. Then
when you were announced Just now I
was taken quite by surprise, having
expected that our meeting would not
take place for some time yet."
"I decided not to go."
"My act Is certainly not calculated to
give you a favorable Impression of
me, I admit. Just think of a man call
ing for the Drt time on a girl be Is to
marry, whom he has never seen, and
finding ber peeping through a keyhole.
It's simply dreadful!"
"Rut becoming. To my taste, a girl
never looks so well as when blushing."
"But there Is no necessity for us to
stand. Re seated." She sank on a sofa.
1 1 on an easy chair. "I have fought
j against sm b. a murriagn, but my guard
j lan. who has certain views for my
j property, has tinully worn me out Be
I sides, he tells me that you are as much
Interested from that point of view os
I. Nevertheless I have told him that
after seeing you If you were repulsive
to me the matter should not go any
further. And that Is the reason why
I was endeavoring to get a peep at you
before meeting you. I intended If yon
were disagreeable to mo even In ap
pearance that I wou'd after nil decline
to receive you."
"Knowing tlib), I'm sorry I didn't
leave you free to make a decision."
"I should have decided to meet you,"
she replied to this, casting down ber
eyes.
"Thank heaven!"
"You mean that you are pleased that
these schemes for the development of
our properties are to bo carried ojit,"
she said archly.
"I assure you," I replied, with an
injured look, "that these property
schemes have nothing to do with my
aatlsfactlon at finding you In every
way so much more attractive than I
bud hoped for."
There was a blush ut this, not of
BiortlQcation, but of pleasure.
".Vow. I beg of you," I contiuued,
"not to speak further of this matter of
property Interest that bas brought us
together. Let us couslder our pro
jected union one of Inclination alone.
Yet before doing so 1 would Hfco to
get one matter out of the way so thut
it may not Influence us. Please write
on a Ut of paper what you couslder
the amount of your possessions, and I
will do the same. We will exchange
these papers and will both know what
wo are to rpect primarily from each
other."
Now, 1 flatter myself this was very
foxy on my part. I wn not sure but
that I vtomd like to win this gli'l. and I
did not cure t d so, rendering myself
liable to a charge of deception other
than in permitting her to continue In
a mistake. Wc exchanged the ll.
aud It turn. si out that my possesion
were double hers,
-''h.v," she exclaimed on looking at
the amount on my slip. "Mr. Markucy
dld not tell me that there w such an
lueiuallty as that. 1 don't understand
why you who had never seen me
nhottld have desired me simply on ae
eouut of a pnM-rty consideration,
mine being but one half yours."'
"I said to you Just now ttcfore this
Interchange of Information that after
It had levu made the sordid part of
this transaction should lie dropped.
Now let ns talk of other matter."
By skillful management I learned
that the man I had been mistaken for
had gone away to be absent several
weeks aud that no communication was
likely to take place lietweeu him and
MU r.ninghnm until his return. At
tlrst I permitted myolf to drift on
luto tho false Hisltl i carelessly, but
ti, iw and again twin ,es of conscience
would come to mo a; id. more than all.
a distaste for the denouement thut
wai sure to follow. At tho end of this
our tlrst meeting It was evident that
we were mutually pleased with each
other, and If we contiuued to be so the
wishes of the lady's guardian would
be carried out. What theee wishes
were or how far they would tend to
ber ccrkiiment 1 didn't care. When I
nive to go she said:
"Bat yon are uot going before see
ing my stepmother aud my half sis
tvr. They are my only relutlves."
"Pardon me." I replied. "I am rath
er shy of meeting strangers, especially
under the present circumstances. How
would It do for them to get a sight of
me the way you dld-through the key
holer "If you ever mention that again you
may consider the matter broken off be
tween us forever. After all. I thluk it
us well that you should meet them
during a later visit."
"I'm sure of It. ITow often do you
think you can eudure a call from me?"
. "As often as you like."
I wondered whether Miss Kll'ing
ham considered that we were engaged
and would graut mo an engaged man's
privilege or, rather, exeet me to take
It. I didn't w-lsh to presume so fur on
a mistaken Identity aud was going
away without a kiss. Tho lady must
have considered herself engaged, for
she made it plain that no such cold
departure would please her. I took
the kiss, and. though It was Intensely
enjoyable, I felt that 1 hud received
that to which 1 was not entitled.
When I stepped out of that apart
ment bouse Into tho open air 1 was
fairly overpowered by the change
which had come over mo since 1 bud
entered It There were pleasurable
sensations confused with borrlblo an
ticipations. What would I do during
the next fe.v weeks while this other
Towuscud was nwuy? Was I to try
to win the girl? I conned over the
questlou as to whether T no it would
be honorable fcr me to do so. There
were several isilnts In my favor. In
the tlrst place, 1 was twice as well
fixed In worldly possessions as the
other fellow. In the second, I had
found fuvor in Miss Efllughum's sight,
and she bud yet to see blm. Khe
might on meeting hi in take a great
dislike to him. I secretly hoped she
would. I took pleasure In deplctlug
blm in my mind's eye as a red headed,
freckled, suub nosed . chap with the
forehead of nu ornng outang.
I went straight borne, sat down In
an easy chulr and tried to think of
some plan whereby I might come out
of the matter with eclat Instead of con
tempt, but fulled to find one.
WLut would have been tho outcome
had 1 uot been pierced with an arrow
shot from tho little god 1 don't know.
It would probably have been fur dif
ferent from what it- was. I voWed to
keep away from Miss Effingham and
tho consequences of my tlrst visit to
her. I kept my resolution by calling
the next day, and the next and the
next, for two weeks, every day ln
teinlln:,' a confession and never making
one. Meanwhile the mutter between
us was a uso of desperate love.
I went to see my sweetheart one
day und learned that the sword sus
pended over me bud fallen. I found
ber lu the room where I had first met
her, tulking In au excited state to a
man who, as I entered, looked at me
scrutiulzlngly. Miss Effingham, a If
to shut us both from ber mind, snuk on
a sofa und concealed ber face with
ber handkerchief.
"Who ure you, sir?" I asked. "The
lady does not geem lucllued to Intro
duce us."
"I am Edward Townsend."
"And I am John Towuseiid."
"I am the Townsend, sir."
"Edltb," I said. "It's all out. You
mistook mo for this gentleman, and I
permitted you to continue lu your mis
take. All thut remains to bo done is
for you to decide between us."
"Leave me, both of you," she walled.
The other Townsend and myself nat
urally obeyed and nt tho same time.
It was an embarrassing walk through
tho corridor and a miserable ride down
the elevator. I was much put out to
discover tbat the real orlglnul Town
send was a far better looking man
than mystif. When wo parted ot the
outer door we both raised our hats
politely, scowling nt each other, und
weut In different directions,
Wltbln a week a lilt lo note came to
mo addressed In a woman's hand. 1
tore It open. It read:
Ilcarest; co nh to in".
Then I knew I way the real Town-send.
