ASKED FOR A DIVORCE,
Because She Didn't Know That She Wa
Married.


London Cor. New York Mail and Ex-
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 a declaration of null
lily of her marriage on the ground
that it 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 CEREMONY on the plea that
it was merely a 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
his youthful spouse at the office door
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 while
he was seeking his fortune in foreign
lands The necessary witnesses of
the marriage included the mother and
uncle of the bride. both of whom sol
EMMY swore in court that they did not
know a marriage had taken place. The
novelty of the circumstances and the
incredible ignorance displayed by the
parties somewhat staggered Mr.. JUS
tice Barnes, who adjourned the case
and directed the Jewish rabbi to make
some investigation into the facts. That
functionary, however. could throw no
light on the matter beyond expressing
his conviction that the ignorance OF
the parties concerned was bona fide,
and not concOcted for Interior mo-
tives Finally the judge announced a
decree. but expressed his intention of
throwing the ultimate responsibility
upon the queens proctor, to whom all
the papers would be sent and who
could. if he thought proper, interfere
to prevent the decree being made abso-
lutte.

Railroad Fog Signals.

No little matter bothers the mana
gers of the British railroads more than
the management OF the fog signals,
which, owing to the perpetual English
fogs and Scotch mists, are necessity
of all railroad equipment in that coun-
try. 1t is a question that American en-
gineers have had occasion to worry
themselves little about, else it would
long ago have been solved. 1t has
remained for a Scotchman, Mr. Fair
ley. of the National Telephone COM
pany of England, to find the remedy
that the Englishmen have been so long
seeking. He has just perfected and
patented an automatic apparatus
which it is expected from the trials
that have been made will bring a rea-
sonable amount of security to travel
ers over the fog bound tracks that lead
into London. Mr.. Fairleys device IS
a trigger ON the track, set automatical-
" when the semaphores are set to sig
nifty a block. A suitable contact is ap-
piled TO the locomotive which trips
the trigger when the engine enters the
whistle is blown. and the steam shut
off. and the engine driver can do the
rest by applying the brakes and bring
ing the train to a standstill until he
gets the signal for a clear track-New

but when he sat down beside her she
chose the former. What do you mean,
sir?" she said, vainly trying to be
composed
only that I'm glad, oh, so glad,
that I've found my little sunbeam he
answered, as he drew her down beside
him again. Il have a long long
story to tell he said, and Madge
thought hers would be longer, but she
said nothing, and he told her how he
had been thrown from his horse the
very day her father had died His
skull had been fractured and he had
been out of his head for weeks and
weeks, and when he began to gain his
health he had had relapse. He told
her when he was better he had writ
ten notes to Madge and had received
no answer, and when he was well
enough he had started himself to find
her
Then Madge told her troubles, and it
was dusk before they had finished.
Aunt Ellen came to call Madge to
supper. and was startled at the sound
of strange voice This is my friend,
Mr. Deming. Aunt Ellen Madge said
to her frightened aunt. And your
nephew, Aunt Ellen" Harold added, as
he offered an arm to both ladies to
escort them to supper. There were
two l-lppy hearts in old Ortonville
that night and Madge felt paid for
her patient waiting

she had cared for him, but she was
certain now that it was great deal.
Spring came with all its buds and
fresh life. Now the roses will bloom
in her cheeks Aunt Ellen thought.
Madge did get very little color in her
checks and she looked so fair that her

Madge had thought all winter that
she would soon get some message from
Harold. and now spring had come she
took fresh hope. The days began to
lengthen and the June days came, and
still no message or word from Har-
old. She could not believe that he
had loved her for her money, but
what else was there left for her to
think?
The June roses were blooming all
over the farm when one day Madge
dressed modestly in a soft white dress,
went with a book TO the large rose
covered arbor to read. Her golden
hair was tucked up into a loose knot
a the back of her head and was faS-
tened with pretty white rose, while
she wore another rose at her throat
She was certainly pretty picture that
sunny June afternoon. Madge knew
she would not read the book which
she carried. but Aunt Ellen r1ust think
So anyway.
Her eyes were resting vacantly on
the first page of the book. and she
did not notice a tall. handsome man
standing down at the garden gate
Evidently he saw her, for he opened
the gate and crossed the old-fashion-
ed garden to the arbor. AS the dark
form doomed up in the little entrance,
Madge glanced up. 1t was Harold
Deming Madge's heart stood still.
Now that he was here she did not
know whether. to be angry or pleased.
