ricd twelve years and not a iIving
soul except himself. his wife and
tho minister knew about it!
That's the record OF former May
or ]. Adam Carl, of Greencastle,
Md, and Annie Martha Shearer, one
of the prettiest girls in the town.
When ex-Mayor Carl. now the
prosperous proprietor of Green
castle stationery store, announced
his wedding yesterday, it gave the
countryside the choicest bit of gos-
sip it has known in years.
During the twelve years Carl has
called regularly three times each
week on the supposed Miss Shearer
at the home of her parents.
He has made his home with his
mother and sister in Greencastle.
Other suitors have looked with
longing eyes on the beautiful mai
den during these twelve years. They
have wondered exceedingly why she
was so cold and heartless.
AS for keeping a secret-Mrs.

Hemmick, of. this city and Washing
ton, whose marriage to Mrs. Alice
Barney nine years ago was the So
ciety sensation of two continents,
has just been granted a divorce
from his wife. The decree was
signed today in Chicago by Judge
Frank Johnson, jr.. of the circuit
court. He charged desertion.
Hemmick testified that his wife
left him on the night of January %,

of his being in the theatrical busi-
ness She went to Paris, he declared,
and he thought she was still there,

wood boulevard, Chicago. Hem.
mick's attorney was Michael F
Ryan, son of the Windy City's chief

The news of the divorce was re-
ceIved with scarcely less surprise in
social circles here than was the
marriage of the couple in 1911. Al
that time, Mr.. Hemmick, who is the
son of Ronald Hemmick, former
United States consul at Geneva

on a meadow belonging 10 Bovce Brothers

see that the sheep hadreached a high spot
in the field, but they were then standing
