of the face of man who emerged from
the door of the Hotel to the Wild Hunter
on jackson street about 6 O'Clock yester-
day morning. He was of sandy complex
ion and rather more than the average
growth as far as stature is concerned, but
slender as to development. He wore side
whiskers and moustache of hue rssem-
bling the summer coat of muskrat. As
the gilded cord surrounding the hat of
Captain Bresset caught his eye CLEAN of
hope illuminated his face, and he ap-
preached the ever affable John with the
query:
care you constable?"
"Yes sir; am the captain of police"
responded Capt. Bresset. "What do you
want?"
"Well, my name is Hell-Dr. B. F. Hall,
OF Burnett county, Wisconsin. Pm in
trouble and want you to help me out"
estate your CASE" said the captain,
whereupon the melancholy individual re-
lated the story of his woes, but as the Pc
lice of Minnesota have no Jurisdiction in
Wisconsin, and DR.. Hall did not wish to
bring a criminal complaint in the case,
Capt. Bresset could do nothing.
A GLOBE representative who was dis
tant witness to the brief sidewalk con-
ference between the twain, decided to in
vestigate, and accordingly obtained a
button-hole interview with DR.. Hall, with
very satisfactory results.
DR.. Hall resides at Stanford, = small
town on the North Wisconsin railroad. He
claims to be a practicing physician of
good standing. He stands, at any rate,
six feet in his socks, and though not a
monument of manly beauty he will pass in
a crowd. His manner is very hesjtat-
ing, and he was apparently afraid some
one would hear what he was saying.
Many a year ago he wooed and won a
fair maiden, and with her he spent the
early part of his life. Felicity marked
their association up to a very few years
ago, when the demon of discord entered
the household. For time an armed hos
tility prevailed between the two principal
members of the family but at last this be
came uncomfortable, and the doctor finally
applied to the courts to have the marriage
bond dissolved, and as he gave good and
sufficient reasons why his petition should
be granted, a decree of divorce was
issued.
For a time the doctor remained in the
enjoyment of single blessedness. This
condition soon became wearisome, how
ever, and little over two years ago the
doctor fell victim to the wiles of Cupid
and young woman, who soon became
known to the social world of Stanford as
Carrie Maria Hall. She was but twenty
eight, and oomely in appearances; was
blonde-a strawberry blonde-with clean
cut features, and withal a woman that any
man might love aid whose love might he
priced by any one. From the close of the
honeymoon up to last Saturday not
cloud dimmed the azure of their marital
happiness. Carrie proved herself duti-
fol and affectionate helpmeet of the doc
tor, while he was paragon Of fidelity and
devotion.
But in the brightest of days storm is
likely to arise. BY his first marriage DIR.
Hall had several children, the eldest Of
whom is now q young man Of twensysix,
and who was christenel Arthur B. Hall.
At the time of the separation of his father
and mother he took his mothers part, and
has ever since taken care of her every
want. There was never an open rupture,
however, between MIN and his father, and
since the latter's second marriage he has
been frequent and welcome visitor at
tracted by the charms of his new step
mother or by pure fiiial affection is not
related but the sequel may suggest.
Arthur was not a gay lad. On the con-
trary he was somewhat sedats, though he
had raised sandy Burnside whiskers and
moustache, and OF late had taken particu-
lar pains to improve his appearance by
such aids as were to be obtained in his
quiet country home. He was a mashsr
among the girls, and all of them had
their Gaps set for him. He proved i'm
pervious to all their wiles, however, and
remained heart free, though the choicest
flowers in the feminine garden were freely
laid at his feet
But to return to the SORROWS of the poor
old man, the father of Arthur. As related
his marital relations had been unclouded,
and Arthur had his unbounded confidence.
Therefore he had not the slis htest
suspicion last week when his
wife desired to visit friends in Nenomo-
ME and his son proposed to accompany
her, and he assisted in loading upon the
wagon such articles as might be necessary
for the visit, besides a good many that,
while not necessary might prove oonvsn
lent to have in the house in a hard winter.
It was not until the pair had gone that DR..
Hall began to reflect, and hint dropped
by neighbor hRsteaed his reflective sense
and quickened his memory. He rsmem-
hered that Arthur had of late been moro
than usually attentive to his brevet
mother; that he supplied her every want
and anticipated her desires. These he had
interpreted as an evidence of q more thor
ough reconciliation, and indicative
of waning regard fer his
mother, who had taken especial pains to
annoy nIm. The more he thought about
it the verse il looked, and after protIact-
ed cogitaiion the doctor came to the con-
clusion that his son had slopsd with his
wife, and he at once determined to pursue
the fugitives. Buthow! His patients had
not paid their bills, and he had given his
recreant wife the last dsllar he possessed
to speed her on her journey. He couldn't
collect cont, in which circumstances he
has a good deal of company. A neighbor
named q. l.. Woodcock came 10 his u.s.
sistancs just in the nick of tins with an
offer to buy his COW at the
price of $40, provided she would
yield an average of Ave quarts Of
milk daily. Tbs offer WAS gladly accepted,
as was the S. note paid on account, with
which the doctor bought ticket for St.
Paul, where he thought the fugitive
couple might have come.
