"May!" repeated Miss Celia, looking closely at the young visitor for the first time.

"May Walcott," May answered, with a smile, that was strangely familiar to Miss Celia.

But there was no time for explanations. At that time Gay, followed by the boys and girls agape with curiosity, came running forward as fast as his disabled condition would permit, and kissed May warmly.

Then the twins stood side by side, and everybody exclaimed at the resemblance.

"Could you tell them apart?"

"Except for the arm."

"And the dress."
