I certainly do! He was 1ny roommate at college. VVl1y, do you- -know him I? Allen was g'etting rather excited by this question. Yes very well. My friend and! I were walking one day and he gave us a ride back to town. He sopke of having fixed a broken leg for a. young chap, Allen Patterson, by name, I think. Well by jove! Can you beat that. I happen to be that Allen Patterson and it was my leg that was broken. Are you sure that you're not my brother? Ellen asked full of excitement. Your brother? I didn 't know that I l1ad a sister. VVhy do you ask? Ellen told her story and how she had happened to ask about her childhood. I am going to send a telegram to Aunt Lucy and ask her if I have a sister. If you prove to be my sister, Ellen, all the better. Let's have another dance, what do you say? They started for the hall but Ellen was claimed by Doctor Cathaway who was also a guest. USO this is your game is it, H Doc? So long, Jo and I will hop this 0116. Eh Jo?l' Seems as if we would, came from t'Jo as tl1ey danced away. It makes me so happy to think that Ailen is my brother wl1ich I think he surely must be, Ellen told the Doctor. IVhat! Allen your brother? Are you crazy? No just happy. Seems as though he does look enough like you to be your twin brother since you say that he is. The party came to an end, and tl1e guests departed. Jo happier than when she arrived and Ellen thrilled' over her brother, for such he proved to be. The next week after the party and after Ellen told her aunt Grace about Allen she invited him and Doctor Cathaway for the week end. VVith Allen came news of a large sum of money which had been left to each of the Patterson children, unknown till Allen had looked up past histories.

What was that? Have I been dreaming or was that you Ellen? t'Jo asked rubbing her eyes sleepily and sitting up in bed. Oh I just dropped a dlress hanger. How do you feel, Jo? You must have had terrible dreams. The way you took on last night was al scream. Did I keep you awake? I'm awfully sorry. Guess I did eat too much cake. I'm all right now, she exclaimed jump- ing out of bed. That morning a letter arrived for Ellen inviting her and Jo to a Week-end party at Carol Manchester's home i11 Rich- mond. Both girls were eager to go and by noon they were ready for the trip to Richmond and the jolly party awaiting them. Ellen, before they started for the train, mentioned to l1er aunt Grace the meeting of Doctor Cathaway on the road. You don't suppose he's my brother do you, aunt Grace? Ellen inquired. I don't know dear. You will have to hurry for the train now. I hope you find that he is your brother. The train brought the girls to Carol's home town rather tired and hungry. They were hurried home and refreshed themselves to en- joy the first evening of the party. On Friday night there was to be a grand dance. All the guests looked forward to this night with eager expectation. May I have this dance, Miss Patterson? asked a very fine looking young man who had been introduced to Ellen as Mr. Patterson. They sailed across the shiny Hoor in perfect time with the music. Let's go out by the fountain, it's so warm dancing and I'm a little tired, Ellen pleaded. t'Doesn't it seem queer that your name is so much like mine. Ellen began when they had seated themselves o11 a bench near the fountain. 't Yes, it is strange but things often happen like this which are only coincidents you know, Allen returned absently. Do you know Doctor t'athaway? Ellen quiried again.
