scandal most terrible to think of!
The voice of the cowbell is heard
no more in the land! The pouter

fair young girl, to find in her en-

him in his own home nest. OF
course, it is a terrible tragedy
and sordid as sin always is. But
who, l say, shall judge? And
who is there without sin to cast
the first stone? | am so sorry
for the pouter pigeon, so very,
very sorry for the nice young girl,
and I'm trying to be sorry for the

who cannot see with inward vis-
