A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
Strange Circumstances Under Which a
Brother Courted q Slater.

Strange Circumstances Under Which a
Brother Courted a Sister.
The State Prison in Jackson, Mich, has
just yielded another story which is stranger
than fiction. Within It's walls has been con-
fined for thirtY-fiye years a French Canadian
named Joseph Duquette, who is now 81
years old and harmless man. About 1856
he married In z distant Canadian town a
woman who had two Legitimate children
a boy and infant girl. They were very
poor and gladly gave the baby to
family in very comfortable circum-
stances. who promised to treat it as
q daughter. Duquette brought his wife
and the boy to the Saginaw Valley, in
Michigan, and was one of the first to arrive
In that section. He was not pad man, but
very passionate, and in moment OF anger
he killed his little stepson. He received
life sentence. Soon after Mrs DuQuette
gave birth to boy, who TO her death she
left in ignorance Of his father In spite of
such unpromising origin the boy came
under helpful influences and grew to
manhood 10 a Canadian town. A talent
for business and land speculation has
made him the possessor of small
fortune. After the death of his mother the
young merchant took charge of her effects
Some letters and papers were found in her
trunk, which gave him part of the truth in
regard to his father. He hastily departed
for his birthplace in Michigan, and learned
OF his fathers crime, and upon visit to this
city saw that father-in convict's cell-for
the first time. The strangest part of the
story has come out through mutual
friend in Detroit. For some months Du-
quette il. has been visiting Toronto, Ont,
regularly to pay court to a refined
and interesting widow who is living there,
surrounded by wealth and friends. Every
thing seemed to favor his suit Explana-
tons with her relative to his father led to
the statement that he had recently learned
OF half-sister who was adopted when
baby in certain Canadian town. "Whyv'
said the beautiful widow, II was adopted
by family in that town when / was a
baby" The two gazed at each other in
great astonishment Upon investigation
they found themselves to be brother and
sister, and 1t proved to be happy reunion.

pardon for his father.-St. Louis Globe

first class in prominence, knows that few
can teach him in any Shakespearean role.
