COMEDY OF ERRORS.
Plot Rests on Mystery in Like
ness Of Two Modern Dromios.
Mr.. sniyeIy and Mr.. Harlan Look
Like Twin BROTHERS, and Perhaps
They Are, Hut Nobody Knows
to u Certainty.

Fiction frequently masquerades as
truth, but the following story, which,
all except the names of the persons,
is vouchsafed for as fact by the
Chicago Post, shows that truth may
seem occasionally to borrow the robe
of her imtator.
One day when riding in Chicago
street car Mr.. Snively, of Buffalo,
raised his, eyes from his newspaper
and met the glance of a lady who
was sitting beside him. She smiled
and offered gloved hand, saying:
"How do you do, Mr.. Harlan? You
have returned to Chicago sooner than
you had intended, have you not?''
Excuse me, madam" he returned,
feeling that in the circumstances it
would not be right to take her hand,
you have mistaken me for some one
else. My name is not Harlan"
She made no further remark, but
turned her back upon him, changing
her seat at the first opportunity for
one at the end of the car.
81 wonder if this is some Kind of a
confidence game" unused Mr.. Snively.
IF so, the next move will be, sup.
pose, for some fellow to address me
by my own name. / only wish he
would, that's ALL"
But nothing of the kind occurred,
and he was convinced that the lady
had been really sincere.
A few weeks after this Mr.. Snively
entered hotel in Boston. The clerk
nodded Familiarity, and while the
guest was writing his name in the
register said: "Your old room is va
cant, Mr.. Harlan"
Il must bear close resemblance
to that man." said Mr.. Snively, MAX
ing final flourish with his pen.
"This is the second time / have been

called Harlan" And he pointed to
the name he had just registered.
The clerk grinned. "That's good,
very good" he said.
The other eyed him sternly. "What
do you mean?" he asked.
"Oh, nothing, that's all right" re-
turned the clerk, and calling bell
boy he said
"Show Mr.. Har-this gentleman to
a."
The clerk did not mention the mat
ter again, but every time Mr.. Snively
caught his eye he noticed he wore
that same irritating grin.

liard-room of one of the large hotels.
Absorbed in watching the game he
took no special notice of the players
for few moments, when he suddenly
became aware of the fact that one
of them was eying him intently. Mr..
Snively gave a gasp. Was this his
Fetch, a wrath sent to warn him of
disaster or approaching death? Was
it his immortal spirit which had re-
solved to stand before him and let
him see himself as others saw him ?
OF course all this did not come into
Mr.. Sniveiy's mind sentence oy sen
tence, but passed through it like a
flash. Then common sense resumed
its sway and he said:
II know who you are, sir; your
ND tc Ioy ri II hnu
once been mistaken for you.'
"And your name is Snively," re-
piled the other. II am glad, Mr.. Snive-
~, that you never forget to pay your
hotel bills, otherwise it might have
been quite unpleasant for me-"
They both laughed. Neither said: 81
see by you am sweet-faced youth
but perhaps they both thought some,
| thing of the kind.
| The two soon became warm friends
Mr.. Harlan was travelling agent fol
| firm in Florida. He was married
shortly after this meeting, and in
vited his double to the wedding.
Strange to relate, Mr.. Snively had 6
twin brother who was lost or stoleT
in his childhood, when Instantly was
living in the south. Stranger to relate
Mr.. Harlan is an adopted son who
knows nothing of his real parentage
If this were fiction it would be cas-,
to conclude the narrative with The
statement that the two were twir
brothers; but whether they are re
lated must remain a mystery.

John Weldon, Maryland hunter

point of examining thoroughly the
thickets and spots where underbrush
was most dense. In one of these Sc
cluded spots he discovered hat, and
also noticed what appeared to be evil
dence Of body having been dragged
over the ground. Following the
tracks, he and his companion saw the
dead children, or what was left OF
them, and also saw the bear which had
killed the three little ones. The kill
ing of the bear followed instantly, and
then the remains of the babies were
taken up and carried to their home,
where grlef-crazed mother awaited
their coming.
