Then Rose took to wandering a bit

mind you, for she was.not. But rom-

A TALE OF !MINS
Cynthia and . Rachel were twins.
These were not the names, their motie-
er would have ehoaim fors them, but
unfortunately, before they were chris-
tened, their rich aunt expressed a wish
that the children should be named af-
ter her — 'one Cynthia, the- other
Rachel --in consldei^atioa of .which 'ship
wdu1d leave her money to them, The
mother thought it expedient to, do as
requested.
The twins were exactly alike, and.
bad it not been Ian- the; taut that Cyn-
thia remembered that her name was
not Rachel, and vice versa, it •is prob-
able that outsiders would have been
quite unable to distinguish one from
the other.
Now, Rachel was the nicer girl. Con-
sequently she had a steady flow of ad-
mirers. When she reached twenty,
she had received three proposals, and
had accepted a fourth.
Assisted by Her Sister.'
It had always been the s•istens' wish
tole wecl on the same day, but though
Cynthia had: plenty, of young men
friends, she had not received an offer
of marriage.
The twins .usually spent their holi-
days together, but one summer, as
their mother was "run down," -.1t was
decided that Rachel should accompany'
her to the seaside, while Cynthia re °~.
mained at home.
Rachel and her mother decided to
stay at a boarding-house an the sea
front. Rachel soon made friends with:.
another guest, ' a pleasant -looking
young fellow. They (lid no't meet at
meal times, as Mrs. M— had taken
a private room; but in the. afternoons
Rachel was free, and she and Tom
used to go for walks together. Soon
lie was "head over ears" in love
"What is your Christian name?"' he
as,lie•d on. one occasion, "I know it be-
gins, with 'C,' because I saw it on your
box."
Rachel had brought 'Cynthia's box,
her own being out of repair.
"Yes, she said. without a blush.
"My name is Cynthia."
"What a lovely name!" he murmur-
ed,
From the beginning, Rachel had in-
tended to land this young man for
Cynthia,but before the holiday was
over the young man proposed to her.
Rachel, who had taken the precau-
tion to,:nfove her en a gement ring.to
another finger, said she could not ac-
cept him until he had seen the family. ,
She-wiauid like to know hint at least
six months longer before she decided:
