THE DUKE
Clarence Darrow Tully was a tall, good-looking, and intelligent man. He worked as a
reporter at first and eventually became the publisher of two newspapers in Arizona. He
was very successful in his career. There was, however, something unusual about Tully
that was a secret for a long time.

5 When Clarence Darrow Tully was a young man, he told everyone to call him “Duke.”
He copied that name from a famous movie actor, whom Americans liked because he was
strong, tough, and brave. Tully wanted to be admired for the same reasons as this actor
was. He also believed that men in military uniforms, too, looked strong, tough, and
brave. Tully wanted very much to make this impression on others. His desire for 10
this image got stronger and stronger as time went on.

He tried to join the Air Force, but he had poor vision and couldn’t pass the eye test, so
he was not accepted. His brother, on the other hand, became a Marine pilot. But he
was
killed in service two years later. When this happened, Tully began to put his imagination
to work: he started to tell his brother’s story as if it was his own. At first, 15 he simply
claimed he was in the Air Force. And in time, he got a promotion in his career in the
imaginary story of himself: he became a second lieutenant, then a first lieutenant, then
a major.

When Tully went to military meetings as a reporter, he would dress in a military

uniform. As he became more comfortable with the uniform and his stories about the 20
Air Force, he began to wear medals of honour. This imaginary life got to such a point
where Tully himself could not tell the difference between fact and fiction.

As Tully was doing well in his reporting business, people trusted and respected him as
a soldier, too. He was always careful and consistent when he talked about his “military”
adventures; he told believable stories. By doing this, he deceived everyone 25 for many
years.

But then something changed Tully’s whole life. In his newspaper, he published some
negative articles about a well-known lawyer of his city. The lawyer became very angry
with Tully and he decided to investigate Tully’s personal life. Soon, he discovered that
Tully was a liar. He publicized the fact that Tully told untrue stories about himself. In
30 this way, everybody learnt about the real Tully.

Tully immediately admitted being dishonest and resigned from his job. He put himself
in the care of a psychiatrist in order to discover why he did this. And the fantasy life
style of “Duke” Tully ended.
