Lori s*olto Douglas and My Lady
Hholto are missing. Both have disap-
pea:ed from the boards Of public atten-
ton and drawn to a close their joint star
ring roles in that stirring drama. that
American Institution, the Mother-in.law,
or the Woman Who Game from Oakland.
My lord and my lady have abandoned
for the present. at least, their histrionic
ambitions in so stirring a play and have
severed their contracts by disappearing.
Only one member OF the troupe now
remains. That is Mrs. NJ. Mooney, the
motber OF Lady Douglas and the mother
in-law OF my lord. She has carried the
day and routed the HUSBAND.
Lord SholtO disappeared from his lods.
ings about o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Mooney came south with blood in
her eye. She met her titled son-in.law
without gloves. and within three rounds
hal laid low toe youthful Britisher, even
though he is direct descendant of the
marquis of Queensbury, the father OF the
rules for glove contests. Not only did
she secure the knockout. but drew blood
as we'll. for she got $50 from him which
he had owed her for some months past.

clearly set forth in the following terss
telegram she sent to her son in Oakland
yesterday afternoon after she and Lord
Sholto had como to an agreement: ITO
Mr.. 7. Adds Mooney, corner Curtis and
Lydia streets, Oakland: His lordship has
settled amicably. will start home tomor-
row. Mrs. N. J. Mooney"
forced his lordship to settle anicably and
also pay her the $40 he owed her. she was
unsuccessful IN one thing; that was in
seeing her daughter and having fare
we'll talk with her before returning home.
Lord Sholto was to blame for this,
though.
A VERY DOCILE LORD.
After Mrs. Mooney and hor daughter
separated Tuesday night it was agreed
between them that my lady was to return
in the morning and visit her mother.
Judge of the latter's surprise when in
stead of her daughter Lord Sholto ap-
peared. 1t was not to offer any terms of
compromise, those were to come later,
but to tell her that his wife had left the
city and did not care TO see her mother
any more. Mrs. Mooney was not to be
foiled 80 easily, so she threatened to in.
woke ths aid OF the law to compel him to
return her daughter, and dId,ln fact, visit
the district attorney. There Mrs. Mooney
having disturbed the peace and for va.
gIancy, too. She said ne did not work.
The great legal minds of the department
got together and thought heavily for ten
minutes in an attempt to solve this per-
picking international question. but it
could do was to simply postpone the
problem by advising Mrs Mooney to have
her daughter come and swear to the com.
plants.
From the court house Mrs. Mooney
went to interview Manager r. Daniel
reconciliation between her daughter ard
him, but her efforts in this quarter were
not accompanied by so marked success
AS the interview she was to hold with
Lord Sholto later in the day.
When Mrs. Mooney returned to the
Ardmour she found that M lord had been
waiting for her. She lost no time in
seeing him. At this interview between
them, to quote her, "he was very docile."
well, madam, l want to know what it
is you desire?" said Lord Sholto.
II dc not wish anything. that is not
reasona tIe," replied Mrs. Mooney. ain
the first place ! want to have an under
standing that Loretta can write to me
when she wishes, and visit us when poss-
ible. And l would also like you to pay
n, that ~ $2o ,.I y0n borrowed from my
l win agree to everything you ask"
replied Lord Douglass, "and moreover l
Will write to you myself and be upon
friendly terms with the family. 1t is too
late for you to see Loretta, as she is out
of the city;, but will bring her to you
tomorrow.
Mrs. Mooney, from whom the facts OF
the conversation were learned, asserts
that Lord Sholto added that he WAS very
sorry he had written such unkind letters
to them. and promised that it should not
occur again, and would moreover give to
all OF the local and San Francisco papers
q card apologiSing to her. In addition
to promising all of this, Lord Sholto dug
down in his jeans and produced a double
eagle, which he handed to Mrs. Mooney,
ami th us was peace restored, temporarily
at least, between the two factions; and
the little domestic drama retired for a
while from the boards of public curiosity.
Mrs Mooney sent the telegram TO her
son in Oakland as soon as she had shaken
hands and wished Lord Sholto goodby.
What Milford did after this or where he
went Is mystery, for he could not be
found at his lodgings last night up to
late hour. He may have gone to bring
his wife bacK to the city.
AS might have been expected and as is
only natural, Mrs. Mooney WAS in the
best OF humoI last evening about her vic
tory over her stubborn son-in-law and
con yersed very freely with q Herald re-
porter concerning the rather peace a Bile
termination of what threatened to he
furious domestic war.
HE DREW HIS REVOLVER
1t appears that Lord Sholto did threaten
the life Of his wife on Tuesday evening
if she talked with her mother and to
emphasize it, SO Mrs. Mooney claims,
drew his revolver upon Lady Sholto. A
new phase was thrown on the case by Mrs.
