ding of Rev. George Washington Scar
let. pastor OF the Reformed church in
Now Purley, and Miss Laura Tsuics, the
19-year~old daughter OF his house,
keeper, adds another link to tho chain
OF romance with which the dominic is
connected. His life has been con :
tinued romance from the time he and
his brother, John Adams Scarlet, we're
found psrentless at tender age and
taken TO an orphans homo at Newark,
N. J. Their autecedents seemed to be
shrcuded in mystery. and they were too
young to tell their own story or give
their names. Because OF the red kits
which they wore they were given the
name OF Scarlet, aud the name George
Washington was given to the elder,
while John Adams was the honored
name applied to the younger.
A Hunterdon, Pa, county farmer viss
tied the place with view to taking
lad homo with him. George Washing
ton was recommended. His bright eyes
and good looks gave MIN decidedly pre-
possessing appearance, and he became
member of this mans household. 1t

farmer from that county was in need OF
boy and applied TO that institution,

to secure private home for himself.
