MOUNT RAINIERITES
OPPOSE ABSORPTIO
Citizens of Capital Suburb
Go to Annapolis to
Fight Measure.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, March 15.-Insist-
Ing that the bill before the Maryland
Legislature for the joint incorporation
or Brentwood and Mt Rainier under the
name Of the former town is an unfair
discrimination against their interests
and In favor of private objects. twenty
hVe residents Of Mt. Rainier were heard
by Senator Wells and the members of
the house OF delegates from Prince
George county today
A brief audience was given this morn
Ing before the meeting Of the Legisla-
ture, and 1t was continued at o'clock
this afternoon.
One of the most serious objections to
the bill made by the Mt. RaInierites is
that 1t would deprive them of their
postoffice and subject them to great in
convenience. They did not hesitate this
morning to say that the question of the
postoffice Is really the milk IN the
cocoanut.
In this connection the name Of Charles
+. Myers. postmaster at Brentwood, and
a manufacturer OF medicines, fig
ured in the discussion. II was pointed
out that the monopOlizing Of the postal
business of the two places in the one
office at Brentwood would raise the
standing Of the pOstOffice and incidental
~ advertise the business of the post
master. II this was not actually stated
as the basis Of the activity Of Post
master Myers in the matter II was very
broadly hinted.
In the Delegation.
Among the leading spirits IN the Mt
Rainier delegation were Morris c. Stall
lings, Dr. T. Nelley, S. NJ Weber, c. +.
James, Palmer Hall, and Frank Horner
These. with the other members Of the
delegation, insisted that the bill for
the separate incorporation Of Mt. Rain
Ter be passed promptly. They claimed
population Of 1,5OO for their village
and said that in this particular Il is at
least the equal Of Brentwood. Against
It's practical absorption by that ccm-
munity they earnestly protested.
Under the terms OF the Brentwood
bill, u was claimed that incorporation
and The constituting Of a town govern
ment would be delayed until a year
fTCrn next spring at least, while under
the portion allowing second submis-
sion OF the question of Incorporation I'm
case II is once defeated it could be
postponed for two additional years.
Charge Against Bill.
II was charged that the whole bill
was an indirect attempt TO prevent the
Incorporation Of Mt. Rainier.
Mt. Rainier, the delegation claimed
was in immediate need Of securing Ger
tain municipal advantages. particularly
in the way OF sewers, and il was urged
that the bill for separate incorpora-
ton be favorably reported at once and
put IN the way OF passage.

her inquiringly, as If he expected her
to help him.
"Oh, Harry's been in England" she
said quickly; and then, with flash
ing thought. came to her the one
scene Harry had mentioned in his
English experience. Was it at ball?
The question came to her lips, but
she checked it there. She remembered
how Harry had stopped her the night
before with nod, with a look, from
mentioning that very thing.
so you're not going to tell me?"
Kerr remarked, and she came back
to sudden consciousness of how her
face must have reflected her thought.
"No-not this time!" she said, smil-
ing, though somewhat flushed.
He knitted his brows at her. They
had reached the arched gate, and the
car that would carry her home was
approaching
"Ah. then, I am afraid it will be
never" he said.
Was 1t possible this was their last
meeting? Did he mean he was going
away? The question formed in her
mind. but there was no time for words.
He had stopped the car with flick
of his agile cane, and handed her in
as If he had handed her into car
riage; and not word as to whether
they would see each other again,
though she hoped and hesitated to the
last moment.

Looking him in. the eyes, which
were of a clear, candid gray. she was
ready to believe 1t. 1t seemed as If
he had let her look for a moment
through his manner. his ironies. his
armor of Indifference. to the frank
foundations of his nature.

AS soon as silence feel between
them she saw that wave of preoccupa-

their walk from the parade-ground to
the Purdies' rising over him again
and floating him away from her. He
no longer even looked at her. His
eyes were on the ground, and 1t was
not until they had crossed the open
expanse of the shallow valley and
were climbing toward the avenue of
cypress that she found courage to put
her question.

of 100000 for the return of the Crew

"Oh!" she said. And again, "Oh,

Il don't see why you and the major
should have been so mysterious about
that"
You don't, Ell? Suppose you had
taken the ring-wouldn't 1t make diff.

every mans hand to be against you
at that price? If you had pal,

up?"
Flora leaned forward with knitted
brows. "Yes, can see that. but still,
just among ourselves, this morning.
Harry smiled. You've lost sight of
the fact that 1t is Just among our.
selves the thing has happened"
oh, oh! Now you're ridiculous!"
II might be. If the thing had hap

Harry, how horrid of you!" She
was on the point of declaring that she
knew Kerr very well indeed; but she
remembered this might not be the
thing to say to Harry.
MY dear girl, I'm not saying any
thing against him. I only remarked
that we did not know him"
Don't you, Harry?"
He gave her a quick look. "Why,
what put that into your head?"
Il don't know. / thought you
looked at him very hard last night in

II didn't want you to mention the

he was only smiling. MY dear child

She looked at him with the bewild,
cred feeling that he was fatty con
tradicting himself. And yet she could
remember he had not shaken his head
at her. He had only nodded. Gould
it be that her cherished Imagination
had played her a trick at last? Blu,

that somehow she had been led away
