A WISE MAN
Calls the Marriage OFF When the Pros
pective Bride Lied

All the level-headed men have moi
Joined the great majority. and one OF
these showed up at the court house or
Wednesday. He obtained a marriage
license, paid the fee and departed. He
was back again yesterday. however, and
said he had made mistake.
Il swore yesterday" he remarked
that neither myself nor the woman
was about to marry had been divorced
within year. l was wrong, for found
out that the woman had been divorced
last January, so take back the license" "
The man spoke with some feeling,
and, desiring to give a crumb of com
fort, Cupid KutZ suggested that he
adopt the fashionable method of taking
his fiancee out to sea and have the cere-
mony performed there. But this aroused
in indignation of the would-be Bene-
dict.
mo, sir; the law is the law, and it
forbids such marriage; but even If 1t
didn't l wouldn't marry that woman
now. I don't want to marry just to b..
joined to a woman. 1 want in a wife =
true companionship. For eight long
years I've remained a widower, and IL
in marrying again l got a woman who
deceived me and lied to me before mar
riage, 1 couldn't expect much happiness
after
The license was crossed out on the
record, but the fee was not returned
and the man went out with a slower step
than on the previous day. He probably
saw the star of hope shining a little
lower on the horizon o' his life but
nevertheless he was {. wise man.

it was dark when Dora took the wheel
back to Malkin's house. Maxim himself
was standing in the door, and Dora
stepped inside and laid the wheel against
the stairway. She remarked that she
was tired and thirsty, and asked Malkin
for drink Of water. Instead of water
he brought her, after an absence of about
two minutes, small glass Of sweet wine
and told her to take that for ii would

adjacent to the entrance where she had
been previously standing The room was
dark, but light shone from another
room, and she heard footsteps upstairs
Her clothing was disarranged, and by
this and other indications she knew she
had beer assaulted. Dora therupon
arose from the bed, and went to her sis
ter's house, about two blocks away, and
there not only told her sister, but was
examined in perfunctory manner by
her. The girl didn't tell her parents. for
the sister was desirous of seeing what a
little negotiation would do. On the fol-
lowing day. January 9Th, both sisters
saw Malkim pass the door and they
went out. He was charged with the Of

not tell her folks he would marry her
From that time on Maxim acted oddly

her. and the next say 1t was a scheme pu
up against him, and he'd do nothing O.
the kind. Finally Dora told her mother
but still refra:Sed from telling hei

that he'd hurt her. and wouldn't believe
her story.

send between sf0O0,0O0 and 100000 out

will be OF incalculabie advantage"
