A strange idea leapt into his mind,
followed by recollection of the fact
that he had noted with surprise when
he put the ring on Polly's finger that
her hand was plump and firm. He
walked hack hastily, with no very
definite thought in his head.
He found the garden gate open,
and walked quickly through it and up
the 30 yards of pathway. No sooner
had he reached the point where the
path ran to the left than he heard a
sound of laughter, and saw through
the French window of the garden
room that a merry party was taking
place. He ran across the lawn and
for a moment was unebserved.
There was Polly, looking the picture
of health, sitting on the corner of a
table in a dressing gown and smoking
a cigarette; near her was Rollit, next
to whom sat the doctor, minus spec
tacles and beard-the duke recog-
nized him at once as a burlesque &C
tor; into the bargain were two chorus
girls from variety theater, and sew
eral champagne bottles were standing
about.
He burst into the room violently,
and with the utmost vehemence and
scorn asked: Don't you think I
might have been invited to my own
wedding breakfast?"
The chorus girl shrieked, the sham
doctor swore, Rollit quailed, but Pol
ly stood up to him.
cts legal enough, my lord, for the
law is such fool as not to dissolve a
marriage even if there is trickery in
it, and it serves you right for being a
cur; and yet, Charlie" and her voice
softened, 81 never meant you to find
out that it was a trick. Get out of
here all of you," she said fiercely to
the jewellers, and they skunk away.
The duke stood silent. Charlie, I
was always fond of you, and I am. We
are now man and wife; let's make the
best of it. A little money will make
these creatures hold their tongues;
people will think it was a fine thing
of you, even if foolish, to give your
coronet to what you thought dying
girl, and they won't suppose it was
your fault that I cheated the under
taker. Come, let's be friends" and
she took hold of his hands and lifted
up her face toward his. The young
man roughly flung away her hands,
and, looking at her sternly, said:
maybe the law will not set me
free, so you will have the title of
duchess, if title without honor pleases
you, and such money as the law COM
pels; but we never meet again"
And as he passed out of the room,
he heard her shouting, "Come back,
girls! Let's drink to the dukes de-

INDIAN TURKEY FEASTS.
Great Birds Are Served on the Tables
of the Cibiques Tribe of Red
men in Arizona.

mountains from Turkey creek to the
Mexico line could be killed or trapped
there would be Christmas dinner ma
terial for half the families of the ma
ton. They are big birds, too, says a
Phoenix (Ariz.) correspondent of the
New York Sun.
When the turkey season opened in
the middle of October Ed Bush, a
Cibique Apache half-breed, brought to
the military post at San Carlos a COB
bier which weighed "a pounds. Three
weeks later, when the turkeys had
fattened on the beech nuts of the for
est and the grain fields of the noun
tain ranches, party OS officers from
the fort on a three days hunt up White
Mountain creek killed 81 turkeys, aver
aging 10 pounds each.
Even then the turkeys were not in
their prime. They will be at their
best weight about the first of the year,
when the Cibique braves will hold
their great annual hunt and will feast
for two weeks on the result.
To the frugal housewife who makes
her Christmas turkey last over three
days the Cibique method of cooking
turkeys would be a revelation in econ

Not until two years ago, when John
Dacey, the chief of the tribe, was killed
in quarrel with deputy sheriff, die
the Cibiques permit a white man to
go to their hunts or to attend their
feasts. Since then they have accept
ed the newcomers as a necessary evil,
and last year they invited a number of
officers from Fort Apache, together
with several civilians, to accompany
them.
Nearly 20 bucks, with the seven or
eight whites, killed more than 100
birds in the hunt of two days. In
the dense and nearly impenetrable
scrub oak of the mountain sides the
turkeys were extremely difficult to
find.
The white guests soon wearied of
the tiresome work of crawling and
writhing through the brush, and most
of them awaited at the camp the re-
turn of the red hunters. Not a bird
was touched in camp until all the
hunters were in, and then the squaws
prepared the feast.
That night and all next day the
gorging lasted. The following day it
continued, and then hash was made of
the remains. This diet served an
other day, and then the last of the
white party left the village.
Three days later one of the white
men CHANGED again TO visit the village.
He found the whole population abb
sorbing turkey soup, while the chief
declared that the bones would serve
food purposes for three more days.
One day lately party from Globe
shot nine turkeys near Turkey creek,
three of the birds weighing over 25
pounds and one tipping the scales at
AZ pounds, the largest ever known to
be killed, although the Apache guide
declared he had shot turkeys weigh
ing so pounds.

HE KNEW TOO MUCH.
An Illustrative Instance of the Dis
astrOus Effect of Assuming
Too Much Wisdom.

A young man employed in an oyster
shop has lost his situation, and this
because he gave prompt answer to
bis employers eager question, relates
the London Chronicle. The employer
had six lively little land turtles, which
attracted much attention as they
wandered aimlessly about the win
dOws. He painted a large white let
ter on the back of each of the shells,
and put up a notice to the effect that,
whenever the turtles got into such
relative positions that the letters
spelled "oyster," he would present
half dozen natives to every one who
was looking on.
Then he became frightened lest the
mystic word should occur too often,
and covered reams of paper figuring
out the odds. He gave it up at last,
and was about to remove the turtles
when his most accomplished oyster
opener informed him that the odds
were 72O to 1 against the combination.
The turtles are still in the window,
but the oyster opener has gone. Such
knowledge of odds, the employer,
thought, could have been acquired
only by years of betting experience.
1t is not wise to be too wise.

western eyes she is distinctly pretty
as long as her youth lasts. As rule
the Japanese have very sallow COM

paint and powder. Indeed, so well
are they hidden that on the neck of
a japanese woman is a hard line

the burning cars about him.

Special to The Globe.
HUDSON, Wis, Sept. 27.-The libel
suit brought against w E. Schei, editor
of the Hayward Enterprise, by County
Clerk Otto Christensen, of Sawyer
county, was tried in the circuit court
in this city before Judge e. w. Helms
and the jury, after being out about four
hours, returned a verdict awarding the
plaintiff 81 damages. The jury appar-
emily did not see that the articles were
justif1able, but found that plaintiff s
reputation was damaged to the extent
of only 81 instead Of $4,000, the amount
demanded.
The case grew out of charges of ir-
Irregularities in the clerks Office, prin-
cipally that of issuing resident hunting
licenses for 81 to non-residents Of the
state. The plaintiff swore the case
away from his home county to ST.
Croix owing to prejudice existing there.
Christensen was turned down in his
effort for denomination in the Repub-
lican convention in Sawyer county this
fall and the result of the suit is looked
upon as vindicating the defendants ex-
ercise Of legitimate newspaper criti-
ciSm.
The 81 damages carries with 1t the
sum Of 81 and costs. Judge w. F.
Bailey, of Eau Claire appeared for the
plaintiff and w. F. Shea, Of Ashland,

defendant, Schei.
