DEACON HAD NO USE

The two yourg men had induced the

They had got him properly attircd. or,

Bokayeff is the brdegroom's name,
and Neshkho that of the girl of sweet
sixteen who had the misfortune to find
favor in his eyes. His pockets being
empty he persuaded three comrades to

LIFE AND LOVE ROTH
CHEAP In THE CAUCASUS

In the northern Caucasus nearly half
the death rate of the inhabitants is
caused by vendetta. and at least three
fcurths of the vendetta cases are the
result of curious marriage custom
which is now decimating the popula-
ton. The native of those parts who
wishes to take unto himself wife
cannot arrange the matter in the sim
pie offhand manner in vogue in west
ern Europe by popping the question" }"
He must go home, sell his belong
inss, and buy her fairly and squarely
of her parents, the price ranging from
SIZE to 81 900. This is a costly custom
IN many ways, for it is not every young
man who can afford to invest such a
large sum in a wife, however accom-
plished. What generally happens in
such cases is that the INDECENT cardi-
date for the order of Benedick induces
few stalwart comrades to seize the
maiden and carry her off
