Has Wed His Wife a. Times.

Ludwig Lewisohn, German pro-
lessor and writer, born in Berlin 80
years ago, claims the unique distinc-
ton of being married to his wife III
eyery state in the union except New
York.
He has just added New Jersey to
the list, the nuptial knot being tied
for the forty-fourth time.
This raises the question: Can
man legally marry his own wife?
Lewisohn, with his wife, walked in
to the county clerks office yesterday
and asked William Christian for a
marriage license Lewisohn said that
he was eager to get a certificate,
which would add this state to the
list. When he told the official that
he was stopping temporarily in the
Washington Hotel Christian directed
him to the office of Justice of the
Peace Henry Bossett. and the Ger
man again repeated the story OF his

Lord Guy stands in the warm night
air with dazed feeling, as if he had
just been awakened from a dream,
then shaking himself, he goes to find
Jack.
When they go into the drawing
room together, the rector, bland and
smiling, and Greta are alone.

"We shall be very glad to see you
at any time, Lord Kendale Pray do
not stand on such ceremony" says
the rector, with his courtly bow and
smile, and Lord Guy presently finds
himself riding down the road to Car
shall barracks. "Finds himself" we
say, because he is in such mental
whirl that his actions are purely me-
chanical.
AS he rides along, very slowly, he
takes off his hat as man does who
has been dining wisely but too well.
What has happened to him? Two
hours ago he was as sane and care
lessly happy as man blessed with
buoyant health and remarkably
good temper could be- And Ifow!
Well, in his heart is beating riot in his
his horses head, and girls voice,
low and clear and musical as a lin
nets, is singing in his ears.
He told Jack that he had never been
in love in his life, that he was never
gone on women
And it was true. Ever since he had
come from Eaton he could remember
seeing beautiful women, accomplished
women, girls with beauty and grace
enough to set up peeress, and not
one of them had ever fingered in his
fancy beyond couple of hours.
And now here was this girl, a mere
schoolgirl, with pair of dark eyes,
who persisted in haunting him. He
went over everything she had said to
him; she had not thrown him civil
word. Civil word! She had been
downright rude-had taken herself off
to bed without waiting to wish him
good night,
A bit of girl. with dark hair and
long lashes, with manners which
/ would have given his titled and ex-
quisite relations fit!
And yet he could not get her out of
his head! Her very name rang in his
ears-"Dolores, Lorrie!"
What had happened to him? Was he
bewitched? Was it the fact that his
lips had touched her face that had
worked the charm?
Hot and excited, he rode into the
barrack yard. His man fast asleep on
an upturned wheelbarrow, came for
ward rubbing his eyes and when he
had rubbed the sense of sight back in
to them, took the bride with one
hand, and handed his master card
with the other.

Lord Guy went up to his room and
took the card to the light.

With start he dropped the card
on the table and gazed at it. and In
stinctively his hand went to his
breast and he took out the letter of
his father.

Benefit in Outdoor Schools,

Speaking before the National Associ-
alton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis recently, DR.. Henry Far
mum Stoll of Hartford, Conn, said:
Every city should have one or more
outdoor schools He recommended
such institutions for all delicate, So
called scrofulous or anaemic children,
and those with tuberculosis of the
bones, who are now in ordinary
schools. Doctor Stoll declared that
twenty to forty per cent. of school
children in large cities are infected
with tuberculosis. BY the use of tu-
berculin, it was ascertained that 70 per
cent. of the children from tuberculous
homes were infected as against only 90
per cent. of those from supposedly
healthy homes. 1t was also found that
so per cent. of the frail children from
healthy homes had the germs of the
disease, but that only 13 per cent. OF
the robust children from similar homes
were thus affected.
