in Prince Albert style. His hair was
done up in pig tail, twisted into a
knot and concealed under black felt

colored kid gloves. In one hand
the Mongolan carried a two-bushel
sack, in which were chickens. Mrs.
Schurman looked limp and sleepy She
wore a pale blue dress and a small hat
with a red feather in it. Judge Foun-
tain Fox accompanied them, and intro
duced the twain to Justice Peay. Wah
Lee deposited the sack on the floor and
produced a marriage license. Before
this had been obtained Miss Schnrman
stated OF oath that she had neither
father or mother or guardian III this
State, and that she had consented to the
union. Nah Lee was a little excited.
He eyed the bag Of chickens mysteri-
