tie village OF Ortonville, to let on one
solitary passenger. The old station
agent peered out at the little, dark fig-

Madge Keith drew her macintosh
closer as the wind blew a whirl OF rain
against her. Poor Madge. She was
as desolate and forsaken as the few
birds nests swinging on the leafiess
boughs. She had been an orphan for
two long weeks, and life seemed very
empty TO her. She had not known

Because She Didn't Know That She Was

London Cor. New York Mail and Elk
press: There has Just been decided in
the divorce court one of the most sin
gular petitions which crop up from
time to time to enliven the rather de-
pressing atmosphere of that resort OF
matrimonial litigants. The petitioner
was a Jewess only 20 years old, her
maiden name being Miriam Leiber~
man. She sought declaration OF null
lily Of her marriage on the ground
that 1t was obtained by fraud. Some
four years ago, it was alleged, she was
courted by one Solomon Szapira, who
induced her to proceed with him to a
registrars Office and go through the
marriage cremony on the plea that
| 1t was merely necessary process OF
formal betrothal to precede their
| proper union in the synagogue. A
| remarkable feature OF the case was
| that Immediately the nuptial knot was
tied the bridegroom shook hands with
l WV
and forthwith departed for South Al
| RIGA, where he has remained ever since
| 1t seems a difficult thing In these I'M
de-siecle days of enlightenment and
education to credit that the only per
son present at this ceremony who ap'
parently had any idea Of its binding
nature was the bridegroom himself
whose object obviously was to secure
the girl against possible rivals whil'
he was seeking his fortune In foreign
lands. The necessary witnesses o
the marriage included the mother and
uncle of the bride, both of whom sol
EMMY swore In court that they did no
know a marriage had taken place. tn
novelty of the circumstances and tn
incredible ignorance displayed by tn
parties somewhat staggered Mr.. Jus
tice Barnes, who adjourned the cas-
and directed the Jewish rabbi to max
some investigation into the facts. Tha
functionary, however, could throw n
light on the matter beyond expressin
his conviction that the ignorance @
the parties concerned was bona fidt
and not concocted for Interior mo
tives. Finally the Judge announced
decree, but expressed his intention G
