I can and .Io here swear to the truth of it, but am aware that it still rests with you to be- lieve or disbelieve it and that disbelief is the more probable. The resemblance between the two stories' is extraordinary, It is It most amaz- ing coincidence, nothing more. Faithfully yours, , E. F, CORNISH. John Giddensirnmediately wrote again, declaring himself perfectly satisfied with the explanation, apologizing for his in- dignation and flippantly suggesting that In future they should revise each other's proofs to avoid further risks. Will you accept the small volume which I send herewith as i peace offering? It is my first at- tempt at a novel, just gublishad. My excuses Inuit, be (1) that it is short; (2) that I naturally have a feeling of fellowship with the author of "The Carbuncle," and (8) that—with the above notable exception—I eo genuinely admire your . work and would value your criticism accordingly. The qualities which I enjoy most in your writ- ing—the extreme delicacy and subtlety—have led ole to gem that your masculine title is assumed. It x az mietaken, it will be my first error in judging the sex of • writer, and I should be apol- ogetically youri, JOHN GIRDERS. E. F. Cornish allowed the lapse of a week before returning thanks for the book. "I waited to read it, contrary to my gen- , eral rule," was the reason given, borne out by a most careful critielsna and most un-' common praise. "The book has appealed to me more strongly perhaps than any , other. modern novel. I hardly dareor care to tell you (after what has already passed between us) that the plot is almost identical with one which I have been se- cretly nursing iht my mind for years.' But so it is. It gave me the oddest sen- satiou—as if my thoughts had somehow, escaped my brain or had been stolen from me. I bad a moment of senseless rage." And toward the end of the letter: "Of coulee you are right about my name and .ex being Assumed, but you ate the first who bas unmasked me. I trust to your discretion. I am sure that I safely may. There are reasons why this should be of Importance to me. As to your feeling of fellowthip, how should one not feel drawn toward 110 Intellectualtwin? I, for my part, ara frankly curious to know more of yourself as well HS of your work. Will you let me? Remember that I know ' nothing of your personal history beyond your address, and that I am no less.curee otus than the rest of my sex." ' I 1 Whereon John Giddens showed himself no less flatterable than the rest of his sex by replying with a long letter, delicately . personal, a trifle sentimental in parts, but with high lights of humor that must have appealed particularly to E. F. Cor- nish, if sympathy in humor, goes for any- thing. And of course there was a counter petition for personal information "There is always a satisfaction," he ended, "in seeing a portrait of any one.of whom.we have vividly Imagined. May I not. see a portrait of you—a sketch, a photograph —anything that can give me the faintest clew? I intend faithfully to return it. If you refuse, you must, of course, bear my ' inferences." "I haven't got ono photograph of my- self that I would sho' to a stuffed cat," anewered E. F. Cornish, "but to stifle in- ferences I must tell you that there will be at least two portraits of me in next year's exhibitions (I am a victim of painters), and those you shall see and know. Tell me, meanwhile, what your- *imagination has painted me. Describe me. I will de- scribe you . by way of encouragement • You are of medium height. A trifle sal- low.

You are emotional and a bad sleeper. There! - Send exhaustive corrections and forgive- ness as soon as you like." A short and whimsical lament on the "abysmal difil- • eulties" that bent the week of a young girl who is writing entirely In secret closed the letter. "Dark," John Giddens painted her in his reply, "with straight brows and full, lips, a strong, .self •reliant face and up- right figure. Large and rather restless eyes, with it bit of the devil in them. Age about twenty-five, *hut Nom times three. A little bit too wealthy for your own happiness as an Artist, a little bit spoiled by worldly admiral:lop. Heavens, how I shall tremble peters your next bit- ter!" ' • The inkt.lefter was already a certainty. From now they wrote conotantly, letters tharstoesnlailtiped gradually into intimece, let- ters full of kindred hunter, often frankly pe . . It was John,Giddene who at Met; after two months of this correspondence, ate proethed the question of meeting, till then carefully avoided. "Why should we• remain mere paper friends when fate so clearly intended more? Think of all we may be foregoing; or, better still, think not at all, but send me a simple, trustful And she did send by return 4 colossal "Yes" that occupied the whole of the first page. On the second came instructions: "Let it be at the British museum (for re- spectability) by the Elgin marbles (for in- s)hiration) next Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. And, to avoid assaulting thd wrong people, let each went a yellow orchid—r in my dress, You in your coat. Bob (of John Giddens' novel) has decided me. I was rereading last night, 'Those whom a common humor hath joined to- gether bit no man put asunder.'" Tuesday was a pouring wet dee, but at five minetes to 5 a tall, gaunt woman, large footed, with a yellow orchid in her dregs, entered the Elgin marble room, Wiped 'some spots of rain off her"gloves and cape, eweeked nervously at her veil awl IOW 'about her with furtive, sheet, sighted eyes that gleamed excitedly be- hind her glasses. She inuat have been forty if a minute, but had the originality to fate it squarely in her soberly expen- sive garment, her unchallenging—almost , apologetice-bennet and her hygienic boots. A certain broad humanity in the mouth and a decided glint of humor in the eye saved the face from downright ugliness, or—well, nearly saved it. At three minutes to 5 a young man of about twenty-two, very short, very fair and bloodleild, with a stoop, and a yellow orchid in his buttonhole, entered the same twine from the other side.
