DOING DOUBLE t
The Old, Old Story Told Once

A startling social scandal in upper
tendon colored circles was brought to
light this morning. The strong arm
of the law was appealed to in behalf
Of an injured lover, who wished pro-

the maternal grandmother had been
sadly neglected in her youth, aud the
first faint note fell like a harsh dis
cord upon her ear. By her orders
the melody was promptly suppressed
and the performer packed in a basket
and dispatched TO his father. He was
