A Blunder. Jl
[Original.]
When I left home for Miss Harmon's ]
school for girls my father lived la Illi
nois. When I -was graduated he had
removed to Bankton. X. Y. lie gave
me the street and number, but he was
a lawyer, and lawyers were In tho*1
days proverbial for their wretched
handwriting, so 1 found It difficult to
make out the address. As near as I
could come to deciphering the name of
the street It was Lafayette. This was
not correct. It was Sabello street,
leaving the station on my arrival, I
took a cab and told the driver to take
me to 50 Lafayette street. When 1 saw
the house I was surprised that my
father could afford to live In It. I had
left a two story frame cottage In the
west to come to a four story atone
front house lu the east.
I paid the coachman and, going up
the stoop, rang the bell. A maid came
to the door whom I had never seen,
aud I told her to tell mother that 1 had
come from school. She asked me whom
she should say had come. I told her
??her daughter, of course," aud, going
luto the drawlug room, looked about
me at the haudsome furniture, still
wondering how father had been able to
purchase It. The maid went upstairs
to make the announcement.
1 waited quite u long while for her
return. When she came down she told
me that no one was at home except my
mother, who had recently had a cata
ract removed from one of her eyes and
was obliged to remain In a dark room.
I was surprised, for I had not been in
formed of there being anything the
matter with her eye, and as the maid
said I was to go up to her I ran up
stairs aud through a room that had
been darkened so that one entering my ,
mother's room should not let In auy
light. The chamber occupied by my
mother was so dark that I could scarce
ly see my haud before my face. I
didn't know which way to turn till sh?
called uie. and eveu then I went In the
wrong direction till she had done bo
several tities. Then 1 found her sit
ting lu an easy chair and put my arms
around her neck.
"Why, child." she said, "why did you
write us that you would come tomor
row? Your brother would have met
you at the station."
I was startled. My mother's voice
had changed. Could it be that her
trouble with her eye had broken her
faculties.
"There's some mistake about that,
mother dear," 1 replied. "1 wrote that
I was coming .on Thursday. Thursday
and Friday by a bad writer uiav be
made to look alike. Perhaps there's
where the error lies."
I was about to speak of her trouble
when I heard the door of the ante
room open and shut. Then the door of
the room 1 was In opened, some one
hurried In. aud a man's voice said:
"Where are you. sla';"
"I'm here."
"Ellen toftl uie you'd come, and come
a day ahead of time."
My brother Tom. ten years my
senior, never called me anything but
"sis" and "slssey," but there was some
thing wrong with his voice. I had no
time to wonder what had caused the
change when I felt myself clasped in
two strong arms and lips pressed
against mine.
"What's become of your beard?" I
asked.
"Beard! I never had one. We've
been counting on your coming. Moth
er Is shut up for the present, but she'll
come out all right. Tlte doctor sny8
she may have the light In one week
more. Awful glad to see you? I mean
to feel you, ha, ha! Can't see any
thing In here. Have to rely on the
touch." And he gave nie another good
hug and several kisses. "But com?
out Into the light. I want to see how
you've Improved. You won't mind,
will you, mother?"
"Not If you don't keep her too long."
l'utting his arm around my waist, he
Jed me out through the anteroom, and,
opening tbe outer door, we stood ou
the threshold between the room and
the hall.
1 say we stood there, and so we did.
We didn't get any farther, at least not
Just then. Never were two people more
astonished, bewildered. We were en
tire strangers to each other.
"Great Scott!" was bis exclamation.
"Heavens!" was mine.
Jle dropped his arm as If it had l>?en
sIjM, and 1 quickly drew away.
"How In the name of"?
"1 must have got into the wrong"?
At this point he regained his equa
nimity. "ff you're not my sister, you're
certainly worthy to be any one's sister.
At any rate, I'm happy to mako your
acquaintance, even by mistake, though
I assure you I don't usually on so
slight an acquaintance"?
He paused, ami my face flushed crim
son.
"Come," he said reassuringly, "tell
me how It happened."
I told him uiy story, and he replied
that his own sister, who had been
away from home ou a long visit, was
expected the next day. He Insisted
that I needed a luncheon and ordered
one, aud while 1 was eating It he tele
phoned for a carriage. When it came
he got In with me and began a hunt
for me for mjLx home. My father's
name was not In the directory, but I
told my new found friend that he was
an attorney, and. drlvlug to the offlco
of one of the profession, wo learned the
address. Ten minutes later I was with
my own family.
The family Into which I had blun
dered became my Intimate friends.
The daughter called on me, and the
ron has been so attentive to me as to
ne shall see.

[Original.]
When Alice Coale told me that she
wus engaged to Tom Martin I - felt
a sickening seusatlua about the heart
that could only come to a young per
son. I might feel a bitter disappoint
ment today, but It would not be of the
same kind. Alice looked at me su*
prised. "Why, what's the matter,
Johu?" she said.
"Nothing," I replied, endeavoring to
pull myself together. "Only I'm afraid
Tom mightn't turn out good enough
for you? that's all."
"Oh, that's all, Is It? Well, don't
worry about that. A fellow as smart,
as popular, as trustworthy, as Tom
Is good enough for a far better girl
than I. Mother soys she'd rather
trust to his judgment In business mat
ters than to that of older heads."
"Oh, I only meant he wasn't good
enough for you."
"You lumbering, good natured stupid,
John," she said, taking my hand and
pressing it caressingly. "You will al
ways be my dearest friend."
That was very kind of her.
A few months later I was startled
by one of those mysterious rumors that
are spoken under the breath for a
brief period before they become pub
lic property. It was that Tom Martin
had beeu borrowing money from any
one who would lend It to him. Then
I heard that he had disappeared. Fol
lowing closely on this came the ncw9
that Mrs. Coale had given him all her
money for Investment, and he had
either supk It or taken It with him.
Since ho had paid none of his debts
it was presumed that he had trttien It
with him.
Detectives visited, his room and took
away every scrap of paper they could
tlnd there, though Tom before leaving
had left uothlug to 9how where he had
gone. He had borrowed a book of
me. and 1 went to his room to see If
l could And It. It was lying on his
table, and 1 carried It home with me.
That evening I took It up and opened
It. Between ,^he cover and the title
page was a library card on which
were entries of several books taken out
within a few weeks. The book he had
borrowed, from me was "Australian
Sketches." I wondere l what kind of
HteraturVhc had been taking from the
library. Curiosity, mingled with a
feeling that 1 might gather some clew
with reference to ills a<?ts, led me the
next-day to take the card to the library
and have a look at the books he had
been reading. What was my astonish
ment to tlnd that one was upon Cen
tral America, three upon Honduras
and a fifth on the rubber Industry of
that state.
After some thought these were my
deductions: Tom bnd at first thought
of going to Australia, but had changed
to Central America. He had selected
Honduras and when he got there
would Invest the mone.v he had tnken
In either the rubber trade or a rubber
forest. More likely the latter, sluce It
would give him a better chance to hide
from the world.
The day after I reached these con
clusions I started for Florida and from
there sailed for Honduras. Lauding
at Puerto Cabello, I went into the In
terior. I made Inquiries for an Amer
ican who had come to Honduras to
negotiate for a rubber tract. The
state Is not a large one, and any one
going there with money would not re
main unnoticed by its people. Of
course it would be useless to Inquire
for one by the name of Martin, for tho
skulker was doubtless using an as
sumed name.
It was Just two weeks to a day when
I learned -of a man answering Mar
tin's description who was dickering for
a rubber tract some ten miles away
from me. 1 went to where he was und
on a porch in a small town came upon
the man 1 was hunting. When he saw
me he collapsed. 1 told him that all I
wanted was Mrs. Coale's money or as
much of It as he had left. If he would
give me this he might stay where he
was for all me as long as he liked;
If not he would go back to stand trial.
He turned over eighteen $1,000 Unit
ed States bonds, which was what re
mained of Mrs. Coale's little fortune.
I receipted for it and started home.
I found that Alice had taken a posi
tion and gone to work._ The evening
of my return I called on her and her
mother. This was the first time I
had seen them since their misfortune.
Mrs. Coale chlded me for having kept
away In the hours of their trouble,
while Alice maintained a cold reserve.
I didn't know whether to attribute It
to the cause her mother mentioned or
some other. In truth, the seemed
stuuned. I'm not naturally facile In
opening subjects and sat for some
time, speaking ouly wheu I did speak
on commonplace topics, trying to frame
what I should say concerning the ob
ject of my call. I knew 1 would make
the mother glad, but was all In the
dark about Alice. Finally, despairing
of finding proper words, I took the
bonds from my pocket and tossed them
on the table:
I "They're yours." I said. "1 tracked
him and got them. There's only a
small loss."
I'm very poor at descriptions, among
other things, and it wouldn't do for
ine to try to give the scene that fol
lowed. Mrs. Coale was so beside her
self with Joy that for a time she forgot
even to thank me. Alice broke Into
sobs and, clutching my hand, her head
sank down on It. When I came to
myself I found my eyes wet and my
arm around her" waist. But mean
while I'd had It there for some time
without her discovering It either, so I
didn't hurry to take It away.
Well, I was promoted from bost
friend to? tho other thing.
