Der 1853.

The number of persons living in
Garrett county, usually working at a
gainful occupation, who were reported

Her black eyes, with the well-de-
fined brows that curved quizzically
upward; her strong nose, with the
sensitive nostrils; the short upper
lip; the mobile mouth with the
faintest hint of a dinple; the firm
chin, and the lovely body were all
beautiful enough, but not so much
so as to satisfy the tastes of those
who are welded to conventions.
For the eyebrows weren't matched,
and the nose was not fiawlesS, and
her shoulders were a trifle too wide.
But there was something about her
manner, her bearing, something de-
faint and proud, that differentiated
her from other women.
One versed in reading counten-
anceS would have found in her fea-
lures the attraction which belongs
only to persons whose next action
is unguesSable.

MOT too much admiration,
L NCarey," chuckled Rannie Cur
wood. You're going to be married
tomorrow. and you'd better reserve
that eager eye for Eleanor. Any
way, peaches as they are. there isn't
one in the bunch that touches to-
morrow's Mrs. Carey"
Dean turned and looked at his
fancee.
Such a statement is so super
fuous that no answer is required.
Nevertheless" he vent on with that
judicial impartiality which always
tickled Eleanor, there's girl at
the end OF the line who is almost
as pretty as you are, Eleanor"
The only flaw in Deans charac-
ter was that in an effort to be judi
cial he frequently forgot his sense
of humor. Still, it was trait that
made Eleanor feel almost maternal
ly toward MIN.
She stared at the girl designated
by Dean. She was pretty; more
than that, she had that indeflnable
air which is mistakenly taken as an
indication of breeding. but which
really is an indication of charac-
ter.
But still more than this she had:
we're it not for the fact that her
hair was blond, while Eleanor's was
black, they might have been, these
two-one of whom was a chorus
girl and the other was to be the
most fashionable bride of a season
twin sisters.
Eleanor wondered that the others
didn't see this amazing resemblance.
she looks exactly like me" she
said.
But the others, oddly, didn't
agree with her. She laughed of
her statement with an affectation
of a pout.
She's prettier than I am, and
you're all impolite enough not to
admit we're alike
But the others already had for
gotten the chorus girl in their de-
light at a comedians antics.
Strange, she told herself, that the
others couldn't see the likeness.
Strange, that her acceptance of it
should be accompanied by a queer
apprehension.
She hardly saw the scenes-the
performance was that glorified
vaudeville which is termed revue
in which the girl who resembled
her took no part.
1t was rather uncanny, this see
ing oneself in a role entirely foreign
to ones character, inclination and
upbringing. For, whether the others
saw the similarity. Eleanor SAWYER
became more impressed with it at
each temperance of the chorus
girl.
TT was more, she told herself, than
l. a physical likeness. The girls
movements, the way she used her
hands, the set of her head upon
her neck-all these things conspired
to add to the eerinesS of the like
ness.
Sure nothing is on your mind?"
asked her father.
She smiled at him.
Not a thing in the world, Daddy
Tom" she assured him.
Then impishly she nodded toward
the chorus girl, who now was close
to their box. Then she looked at
her father. raised her eyebrows
questioningly, and pursed her lips
in unuttered implication.
Tom SAWYER grinned delightedly.
One of those rare creatures, a one
woman man, he had been faithful
to Eleanor'S mother throughout
their brief married life and stead
tasty loyal to her memory since
her death.
But he rejoiced in flattering in
situations that his career had been
cast among the ladies. His denialS
of such innuendos always were
feeble and accompanied by show
of mock embarrassment. as now,
when he pretended to be fustered.

LEGISLATIVE FRIEND
OF RADIO APPEARS
Election of Frederick Lehlbach Of
New Jersey Is
Certain.

A new leader arises on the legislative
side OF radio with the announcement
that Representative Frederick Lehlbach
OF New Jersey will accept the chairman
ship OF the House Committee on Marine
and Fisheries in the Seventy-second
Congress If he Is reelected next Fall.
His election is regarded as a certainty,
Just rs the elevation Of Representative
Wallace White to the Senate is seen
as toregone conclusion by reason of
his recent victory in the Republican
primaries in Maine.
Mr.. Lehlbach, as ranking Republican
member Of the committee Of the Lower
Chamber IN charge Of radio, will parallel
on the House side the work in radio
legislation that is done by Senate lead
erS. In the Senate, an interesting sit
uation arises out of the fact that Sen
ator Couzens Is chairman Of the COM
ntttee in charge of radio, Senator Dill
Is the acknowledged leader In radio
legislation, though a Democrat, and Mr..
White is the co-author of the present
radio act with Senator Dill.
The House Committee change does
not occur until December, 1881, when
the new Congress meets. In the mean
time, efforts will be made during the
short session of the Seventy-first Con-
gresS to enact the Couzens bill for o
commission on communications to sue
coed the Federal Radio Commission.
This bill will be taken up as soon as
the short session begins next Winter,
and Senator CouZenS Is confident OF its
passage during that session.
