and the bride had been deserted by her

persuaded her 10 Try the matrimonial
experiment a second time. They were
married after short courtShip. and
few weeks after the honeymoon the hus-
band gave away his story and told his
wife that she had married him twice
without knowing it.
His explanation was that on leaving
her 90 years before he had gone ON a
protraCted spree and had finally got him
self sent to the penitentiary in a distant
state for long term. After being liber-
ated. he was ashamed To- look up his old
friends and took it for granted that his
wife had forgotten all about him by that
time. He accordingly went abroad. and
it was only ON his return after long
period that he heard accidentally that
his wife was still living ut the old home.
Rather than run the risk of being spurn-

an entire change in his personal appear

winning and remarrying his own wife.

RAILROADS SWlNDLED.
Counterfeiters Worked on over SIOO 600
Worth of Bogus Tickets.

CHICAGO, Nov. ;30-It is alleged here that
counterfeit tickets TO the amount of over
100000 have been accepted since Oct. by
the Baltimore and Ohio, Erie, Nickel Plate,
Pittsburg and Western and other eastern
railroads. The counterfeit in each case
was SO good that not only were the tickets
accepted without question. but were passed
by the auditors of the roads.
The first intimatiou of crookedness was
discovered in one of the offices through the
duplicate numbering. In one day nearly
300 duplicated tickets showed up in the
collections, and a panic reigned in the au-
diting department.
Each of the tickets read from Chicago to
New York and was worth SIS. The one
day collections showed the company had
honOred at least S5,4CO worth of tickets,
for which it had not received a cent of rev
enue.
The roads are determined to bring the
criminals to Justice and are bearing the
cost Jointly. Cpto date they have expended
over Sll COO in securing proof which, it is
contidentially believed, will land the Grim
inals IN the penitcntiary for long terms
There is no way of knowing how many
tickets were sold by the counterfeiters.
The railroads now have in their possession
about $4,000 worth more than half of
which were honored for transportation
