TWINRINGS Edna sat on a large rock in the middle of the creek, watching the sun in the west sink low over the lofty mountains of Virginia. She was thinklnj; of her poor fnthpr -who had died a year ago Edna's mother and herself were the only ones left to run the old farm in tho hills. Her lamer nau left them one hundred and fifty dollars to live on. "Cif rnnrsB." she said to herself, "I could teach school out here but they don't pay enough for one to live on, let alone two. The tears began to flow, when she saw a glitering object in the creek. "I wonder what that is," she murmured. She slipped off the rock an d waded to it. As she stooped to pick it up she found it was a signet ring. And now am it get there? she wondered. The ring was very beautiful. It had Chinese letters on it. Edna tried it on and it Just fit her fourth finsrer. Just as she slipped it on a string around her neck she heard the hoofs of a horse coming around the bend in the road. "Hello," she heard someone call. "Hello," she called back. Around the bend in the road came a spirited horse, and its rider was a young man of her own age. "Could you tell me," he asked, "where Judge Armstrong lives?" "Yes," said Edna, "he lives ten miles from here, and I don't believe you could get there after dark as it is very dangerous to ride over the mountains at night." "Well, then, could you tell me where I could get my supper and

v CprHht N.

a bed. I am awfully tired, as I have been riding all day." "Yes," said Edna, "you can stay at our house tonight if you care to, J ana we nave some gooa reea ior your horse, too. Do you care if I lead him? I love horses." "Why, of course, you can, if you like them that well," laughed the young man. "What is his name?" "His name is Cannonball,' but 1 call him Dick for short," and, he: added, "may I ask your name?" "Yes," said Edna, "my name is Edna Willard. What is yours?" "Mine," he said, "is Erte Arm strong. And will you please call me Erte. because I don't like to be called Mr. Armstrong. May I call you Edna?" "Of course," caid Edna, "but come on, or we will be late and mother will be hunting me to help her get supper." in the creek. As they came nearer the house Edna could see her mother was out looking for her. "Mother," said Edna, "I want you to meet Mr. Erte Armstrong." Mrs. Willard gave a little start when she saw him. She seemed to recognize him. "I am pleased to meet you," she said. "Mother," explained Edna, "Mr. Armstrong, or, I mean, Erte, was going to Judge Armstrong's and I told him he had better wait and go tomorrow because it's very dangerous to go at night over the mountains. He can feed his horse now and get ready for supper." "Yes, Edna, you show Mr. Armstrong where to put his horse." As they walked they talked of the beauty of the country until Erte made a remark after which Edna began to listen more intently to what he was saying. He said something about China and a ring but Edna didn't hear what It was because she was in deep thought about the ring she had found in the creek. After supper they went out on the porch and began to talk of many different things when Edna asked him to tell them of his life. "Well," said Erte, "there's nothing much to tell but I'll tell you what little there is to tell. When I was a year and a half old my mother died and Judge Armstrong or my father put me in a school for small children and when I grew older he put me in another boarding school. I have never been home since my last year In grammar school. Soon as I was ready for college father sent me right off before I could return home on a vacation. After

r. ,

V. Triba nc I completed half of my college career he sent me to Italy to study a while. But the most mysterious thing about my life is before 1 started for Italy he gave me a signet ring with Chinese letters on it. He also told me, 'There is a mate for it somewhere.' but I haven't been able to find it yet. I have looked for it on every person's lingers I meet. I don't know why father won't tell where the other mate is." Mrs. Willard was looking very strange when Erte had told his story and she nearly fainted when Edna pulled the string off her nock and said, "Does this look the one you have, Erte?" Erte nearly jumped off his chair in surprise. "Goodness," he cried, "where did you get that? That is the very mate to the one I have." Edna then told how she found it in the creek, "And," she said, "I forgot to tell you about it, mother." Edna looked up to see her mother crying. "Why, mother, what's the matter?" cried Edna. "Oh, nothing dear, only I am the owner of the ring. I had it on a string around my neck and I must have dropped It In the creek. I have hunted it for weeks, unable to find it. But I must tell you bow I came to have It. "My brother, John Armstrong, or Judge Armstrong as Ave all know him, is your uncle, Edna. When your grandfather came back from China he brought us each a signet ring with Chinese letters on it which stands for 'Love and told us to give them to our children. When your grandfather died he left no will and John and I had a very bitter quarrel over the Armstrong estate. I soon left home, filled with anger, and I said I'd nnver return home again. I soon married your father, Edna, and horo I staved ever since. I have never seen my brother since the quarrel and I always said you would bave to find your family blstnrv nut Yourself." The next day found Edna, her mother and Erte riding to the Armstrong estate. "Oh, I am so happy," whispered Edna, "that we are cousins, aren i you, Erte?" "Yes, Indeed, I am. I never dreamed I had a pretty little cousin like you." When they arrived at the estate Judge Armstrong was so surprised he could hardly talk. Erte then told him the story and Mrs. Willard told him she had forgiven him. They embraced each other andi

wept for joy, for it had been long years since they had seen each other. Judge said that lie had thought over it many a night and decided that half of the things did belong to his sister and he told her how he kept an account for everything. The next six months found Edna and her mother living in the Annstrong estate. Edna and Erte were preparing to go to different colleges to finish their careers and to return to a happy home later. (The End.) NOTK: Sorry, but no name was sent into the office with this very good story.
