A BLIND music teacher won the affec-
tions OF a beautiful blind girl in Glouces-
ter, New Jersey, whose parents we're
highly respectable and wealthy. They
didn't approve Of their daughters fancy
and tried to prevent the lovers meeting,
but with "nary eye" in the party they
had their clandestine nteryiews, and
the miserable fiddler actually got up a
sham marriage. After illustrating the
"blind leading the blind" by taking
her 10 the altar and keeping their sup
posed marriage a secret, the yagabond
deserted her, and now the poor woman
is at the point Of death. Justice is said
to be blind also, and if it catches up
with this enterprising cupid will doubt
less give him pair of eyes he won't
like.
