Count of Sandoval. Gonzales and Nigo and
Spanish Grandee of the lowest class. was
governor of province, and in some esteem
at court, but lacked money. He owed 4.OO0,-
600 francs to Marasquin & Co.. and could
not pay it. He, however. owned two twin
not only twins, but fac-similes. one of the
other. SO that one always wore blue scarf.
and the other roSe-colored one, that
strangers might distinguish them. The wife
Of Don Bolero managed to betroth Girofle to
the son of Marasquin. thus providing for the
easy payment of the debt. At the same time.
She was so fortunate as to be troth Giroffa
to the Moor Mourzouk, a dangerous and
troublesome. neighbor; and at the time of
the action of the opera. both weddings were
arrived the earliest, and was duly married to
Girofie. Mourzouk an hour or two later ap-
peared, only to find the parents in state of
terrible perplexity, since Girotia; the in
party of pirates, thus leaving two BRIDE
grooms and only one bride. The mother, how
ever, was equal to the emergency; She per-
syaded Don Bolero to dispatch the brave
pirates: who were too near to escape.

ters-but had had some previous experience
pirates in tight place, sent word that he
would proceed with the battle ION receipt of
cash." The cash was sent, but this negotia-
sion took time, and Girafa did not return
until number of hours after the proper
time. The various expedients by which
Girofle was made to answer for two husbands
during this interval constitute the chief fun
of the piece. At length Girofia returns, and
the plot is explained to the enraged, but now
pacified Mourzouk.
