Lucky Peters
He Deserved
the Name
By CLARISSA MACKIE
Tlic men standing nround the gen
cral store smiled knowingly ns Frank
Peters stepped to the postolPcc window.
"Any mall for me, captain?" asked
Frank pleasantly.
"Same as usual, Frank," returned
the postmaster, shoring a huire pile of
mall matter through the narrow open
ing. "Seems to me you'fi crowding
the malls some, ain't you?"
Frank complacently tilled his pockets
with letters, circulars and newspapers
while his arms were burdened with
several bulky mail order catalogues.
"I hone you don't mind handling it,"
ho grinned. "If you can take care of
largo and valuable mail matter like
this here," he slapped his pockets,
"why, we'll have so much confidence
In you that you'll go through nest term
for representative. What say, boys?"
lie turned to the others.
"That's right," nodded tho group so
berly, reminded of their power of In
vestiture.
"That's oil right so far ns It goes,"
squeaked Captain Lemming from be
hind tho window, where his nut crack
er face was thrust against tho little
grating; "that's all right enough, only
you can't blame me for having doubts
when there's plottln' goln' on right
here around my store how I'm to run
for representatlrc while Hannibal
Flamm tries to get the postofflec!
"When I'm defeated on the state ticket
what'll I do without my postofflec Job,
eh?"
There was an embarrassed silence
among tho voters of Little Hirer.
while Captain Lemming surveyed them
fiercely from the window, followed by
a sigh of relief when tho door opened
and Capltola Webb bounced in. Her
gingham sunbonnet was pushed back
from her pink, excited face, and one
plump hand shook a postal card In the
face of tho postmaster,
"I'd like to know" she was lcgin
nlng aggressively when tho men of
Little River thankfully seized tho op
portunity afforded by the threatening
storm and quietly left the store to
stand on tho front stoop and watch
i rank Fetors unhitch his sorrel mare.
lie tossed the catalogues on the seat
of the light wagon and sprang in. The
sorrel twitched her ears, waved her
scanty brush of tall and started off,
Frank turned to shout back at tho
spectators, "Anybody going my way
want a rider'
Hannibal Flamm detached himself
from the group and waved a restrain
ing band. "Yon can take mo along,
a rank," lie said, and laboriously lifted
Ms 200 pounds weight to the seat be
side the younger man.
They drove down the village street
and turned Into a road that bordered
tho winding river. Tho trees arched
overhead and tho hot sun brought out
mo sweetness or ripened fruits and
late summer flowers.
"Might' pretty weather," murmured
Frank Peters, his gray eyes contented
ly resting on tho scenery.
"Hum!" murmured nannlbal reflec
tlvely. "Too bad how you was stung
on getting this mare, Frank."
"Never mind," returned Teters cheer
fully; "better luck next time."
"It's all right to say that, but how
In thunder nro you ever going to get
rid of her?"
"I'm not going to get rid of her. She
suits mo all right"
"I guess you're the first Peters that
ever drove n spavined horse."
"I guess I bo."
Hannibal Flamm was Frank's brother-in-law,
and he took advantage of
the relationship to make sundry un
complimentary remarks regarding the
ehortsightedness of Mr. Peters and to
remind him with stinging emphasis of
the many times that unlucky gentle
man had been bitten In various busi
ness ventures.
"You can't oven plant early Juno
peas without having 'em come up cow
Ieas," lie ended oomplalnlngly.
"I IxMigbt tlioo last early Juno peas
from you, Han reminded Frank mild
ly. "Yon oughtn't to have lteen sur
prised if they come up cubbagosP'
"num!" coughed nannlbal, nnd
Frank knew that so far ns his brother-in-law
was concerned tlto subject
Tvns dropped, But tho arraignment
had awakened him to self defense.
"I may bo unlucky or n fool or
whatever yoa fellows want to call
me," said Frank darkly. "Oh, yes; of
course I know they nil call mo 'Lucky
Peters' behind my back Just leenus
I'm so darned unlucky, but I'll win
out some day nnd have tlw laugh on
nil you funny ones. What if I did
undersign a note for Davo Raybold
and liad to pay up when lw skipped
out? I tliought ho wns straight, and
bo went to school with me. That did
mo $1,500. I couldnt help my barn
burning down the day after 1 got all
my hay in. It wasn't my fault bo
causo I'd Uoen too busy to renew tho
insurance ami lost $1,000 on that I
bought this horeo off Jeremiah Pee
bles, and you know ns well as I do
that bo's a deacon in tho church, and
I'd havo made him pay up tho damage
If Mrs. Peebles hadn't come nnd cried
me off. I'm too ensy, that's what's
tho matter with mo. All you folks
know it, too, whcUtor it's fire lnsur-
onco or spavined horses or cowpeaB.''
"uu" cjhvuiuicu uunmoai ucrceiy. jvery sjgnincnntiv
"Hnm nil you want to, nan, but
don't call mo unlucky yet till I die.
They say luck changes every seven
years, nnd I'm forty-two this month,
so I've had seven years of budluck,
nnd now mayle It'll turn for good."
Cheerfulness returned to Frank's
pleasant countenance, nnd relief was
spread orer tho broad features of his
sister's ltuslmnd.
Uo pulled tho sorrel mare to a stand
still lieforc a brown painted gate, nnd
Hannibal lumbered heavily to tho
ground. Tho screen door opened, and
a woman appeared on tho front porch
of the house. It was Frank Peters'
sister, Mary. She was a mild, pleas
ant featured woman, very much llko
Frank lu disposition. Otherwise sho
could never hare lived happily with
that stout pessimist, Hannibal.
"Howdy, Frank!" sho called, coming
down to the gate with n napkin covcr
ed plate In her hand. "Pro been bak
ing today, nnd I made a berry pie for
you. Sho handed up tho pie, nnd ho
peeped under the covering nnd smack
ed his lips.
"That's n dandy, Mary," ho smiled,
patting her plump hand affectionately.
"I don't know what I'd do for pio if
you didn't remember me."
"Yon can count on a pie onco or
twice a week till you get married,"
laughed Mary as he drovo oft.
"Now you're putting a premium on
my keeping single." he called back.
As he drove up tho slight incline
that led to his own house, which was
next to Flamm's place, ho was think
ing about this subject, which was ever
a popular topic with his sister. It
was true that he would bo forty-two
this month, and ns yet lw was not
married, and there seemed no prosiect
of his ever entering tho matrimonial
state. In Little River he had tho rep
utation of being unlucky, but tlio 111
fortune which had seemed to nttend
his affairs the past ten years might
have boon attributed more to his wholo
souled generosity nnd unselfishness
rather than n mere trick of fate.
Onco he had been engaged to marry
n girl, and she had died on the eve of
their wedding. That was when ho
wns very young. A few years later ho
again wooed n Little River girl, only
to lose her to his faithless friend, Davo
Raybold, whoso note he had also in
dorsed. Afterward it developed that
the treacherous David had spent tho
borrowed money on an extensive wed
lng trip, which Frank Teters unluckily
had to pay for.
Inside his bachelor abode Frank pro
ceeded to prepare his dinner with skill
worthy of a trained domestic. His
.kitchen was as neat and cosy as a
ship's galley, and the table at which
he sat down would havo excited the
admiration of any housewife. It wns
not until he had concluded his meal
nnd washed the dishes that he sat
down to open the pile of mall matter
which he had found nt the postofilce.
First he sorted out the letters which
might be of interest. There were only
two, one bearing a Chicago postmark,
tho other being from his older brother
In Nebraskn. Tho circulars and cata
logues ho loft for idle moments.
.V perusal of the Chicago letter left
him open mouthed and staring. In
brief It stated that Messrs. Furrow &
Sharp desired the pleasure of meet
ing Mr. Peters nt their office In the
Mammoth building nt an early date in
reference to his interest in the estato
of the late David Raybold of Chicago.
"Frank's gone to Chicago," announc
ed Mary Flamm to har husband the
next morning, "ne wouldn't say why
ho was going." She looked worried.
"Hum!" snorted Hannibal Flamm
contemptuously. "It's an easy gues3
he's going to buy a gold brick."
hen Frank Peters entered tho of-
he felt a little shock at meeting Nelllo
Itaybold there. Sho was pale and
worn, but some magic within her had
managed to retain a certain girlish
look that kept the years at bay. Frank
decided that it was tho black gown
nnd vell'that mndo her look different,
and as his hand Inclosed hers in a
warm, firm grasp- a pink flush invndod
her paleness nnd made her like the
Nellie of old who had blushed nt his
npproach.
Mr. Furrow, a pompous Httlo rann
with a throaty voice, solemnly read
over tho last will and testament of Da
vid Raybold. It seemed thnt David
had come Into a legacy a short time
before his death, and such wns his
remorse nt tho manner lie had treated
his old friend, that ho had In Ida lneon-,
sequent way, left everything to Frank
'eters except the widow's portion of
one-third of his estate, which was small
enough.
When Frank Peters leard this his
nnger knew no bounds. Ho flatly re
fused to accept tlo inlkcritanoo and
only after n long consultation with Mr.
Furrow would Iw consent to lold tlio
money long enough to make tl trans
fer to tlio widow whom lie stootlv do-
clared should haw it. Tho settlement
of this business occupied many days
and necessitated a good many Inter
views with Nellie.
At last lie returned to LtUlo River.

MY OTHER
SELF
By DONALD CHAMDERLIN
My wife had commissioned me to call
at Hyde's for her Jewels that had been
left there for resetting nnd other niter
ntlons nnd bring them to her when
should leave the city to Join her at our
country place. Passing Hyde's a few-
days before I wns ready to start, I
thought of the Jewels, called for them
nnd took them home. There Is no safe
in my bouse, and I wns at a loss what
to do with them until my departure.
My wife has a woman who has been
with her a great many years. Sho wns
and Is her "maid," but If sho is to be
called by such n name now she is sure
ly nn "old maid." I am very careless,
and I knew that my wife placed lm
p:;:lt trust In Phoebe. I therefore
S;hvo her the Jewels nnd told her to
take "are of them until I called for
them.
The irext day, returning from my of
fice, as was my custom, about half an
hour before dinner on passing the din
ing room I saw that dinner was al
ready served and n man was sitting at
my place at tho table. Then I received
the shock of my life. He turned his
face toward me, nnd I saw Great
heavens! I saw myself!
I had no more doubt that I had re
celred one of those brain shocks the
doctors- call amnesln or some more un
pronouncable name than that I am
telling you this story. I clutched at
tho wall for support. My legs were
giving way beneath me. Then, fear
ing to faint, I grasped at consciousness
and succeeded in holding on to it.
I that I which was sitting in the
chair looking at me was dressed ex
actly the same as tho I standing In the
hall. Tho most remarkable thing about
tho matter was that he seemed as
much stricken with surprise and terror
as I. He trembled like a leaf. My
colored butler Joe, who was carrying
out a dish to the kitchen, turned, stop,
ped short nnd stared at both mo and
my other self. Phoebe, who was up
stairs, hearing tho front door open nnd
shut, came to the landing and, seeing
that I had just entered the house, ran
down to the lower hall where I was
standing, exclaiming:
"For heaven's sake! I thought you
were In the dining room."
My double, sitting at table with a
small cup of coffee before him, indi
cating that he was at the end of hl3
dinner, spoke first nnd to rhoebe.
"Do you see anything strange?" he
asked.
rhoebe was too agitated to reply.
She stood looking from one to the
other.
"Tell me, quick," continued the
speaker, "havo I gone stark, starin
mad? Tell me that you see myself
standing there shivering, Just as I am
doing."
"I see you both!" she gasped.
"Where did you come from?" I man
aged to ask my double.
"Where did you come from?"
"The office."
"I havo been at the office all day till
I camo here."
"What office?"
"Mine; 3S narrlson street."
Oh, heavens! That was my office.
I had left it only twenty minutes be
fore. "Joe," I said to tho butler, "am I
myself or Is that man myself?"
There was a smash. Joe, whose
tho dish on tho floor nnd ran out of
the room without n word.
"Phoebe," said my double, "tell me
whether I am the maBter of this
house or that" Ho could get no fur
ther. "I don't know," said Phoebe, as
much agitated as any ono of us.
"Don't know!" cried tho man at tho
tnblo, rising. "Ring up a doctor. I
shall go mnd. No; I cant stand this.
I can't wait. I must know the worst
at oncoT'
Dashing past ma, ho seized his hat,
that was "hanging in tho hall, and In
another moment tho door was slammed
behind him. I went Into tlio dining
rooji, sank into a chair and asked
Phoebe to hand me a stimulant from
tho sideboard. It put mo in lietter con
dition. "Now, PhoolHi, tell mo what you
know about tills."
"AH I know, sft, is tlrnt nn hour-ago
you I mean him camo honw nnd said
ho ninst have dinner nt onco, as ho was
going nwny. no told mo to bring him
all tlio valuables and ho would put
them in tlio bank. I got tho Jewels"
"Tho Jewels?"
"Ye?, sir. I gavo thorn to him and"
A light began to break through my
stupid skull. Rushing to tho telephone,
I called tho police and told them thnt
I had been victimized by some one
who looked exactly llko mo.
Fivo minutes had not elapsed U
tween tho man's departure and tho
police getting nfter him. A patrol
wngon dashed up to ray lrouse. They
all took a look at me, ami in loss tlian
an hour they had my double.
Tho story Jw told as to how lw con
ceived of and arranged for his plan
ho had been watching mo for sorao
time showed great Ingenuity. And
yet it. wns a very simple matter. Ho
had seen mo ut tho Joweler's and
heard nil I sqld ubout tho Jewels. More
over, ho saw a strong resemblance
to himself. Ho had lwon on tho stago
and was well versed in tho nrt of
making up. Tlio suit I wore was of
ordinary dark cloth, ami ho possessed
ono near enough llko it in nppoaranco
to servo his purpose. Thus prepared
ho had gone to my house in my ab
Benco nnd mad himself at homo.
