She threatens to put them Into the streets if they don't pay up and Timothy, realizing the desperate nature of their situation, decides to use flattery to prolong their stay in the house. He makes love to the old maid in a gallant manner and wins her consent to have them remain a little longer.

In a chase he finally falls out of the automobile and is dragged through the streets. Jeff sees Timothy as the car passes and sets out in pursuit. Were it not for a fortunate sandpile, poor Timothy would be dragging yet. But he is stopped very suddenly and when Jeff comes hurrying up, all that can be seen of Timothy is his feet sticking out, the balance of him being covered with sand.

His only chance of recovery is a costly operation and he and his little daughter, Brownie, are saving up to have it performed. The girl is an expert swimmer and makes quite a little by diving for pennies or any other coins that people throw in the water. One day Tom is despondent and is about to end it all when Brownie comes in and says that she has had a very successful morning and has earned all but twenty-five dollars of tha money for the operation. That afternoon a doctor is leaning against the railing on the boardwalk when it gives way and he is thrown into the water. Brownie save* him and the doctor comes that night to thank his little heroine. When he sees the father in bed he inquires the trouble and volunteers to perform the operation. The father recovers so that Brownie does not have to risk her life any more for the sake of a few paltry pennies. The little family rejoices in their new-found happiness. L-KO. THE RIGHT CAR BUT THE WRONG BERTH (Two Parts — Aug. 30). — The cast: Mr. Cowbull (Dan Russell) ; The Lady (Katherine Griffith) ;. Her Husband (Vin Moore). The duties of a floorwalker should stop at showing ladies the right counters, but Mr. Cowbull lets his duties go further. Unfortunately, a nasty-tempered husband thought otherwise regarding dressmaking shops. Mr. Cowbull did not heed, however, until matters reached such an unpleasant state that he was told he had five minutes to get out of town. He was perfectly sincere in wishing to escape, but unluckily husband picked out the same train. Mr. Cowbull jumped on a mail catcher to save his life, but the mail catcher threw him back again into a woman's berth. The husband' was not supposed to be there, either, but he was, and so was the conductor, and so was the porter and so was a flirt-hater. All picked out the top of the train for the exercising grounds. The train had to be in the great city on time and couldn't stop for a mere killing. This made running on top even more unpleasant and Mr. Cowbull ran from one end to the other or until he caught on a bridge. The husband, however, also caught on the bridge, but neither one knew that this bridge was a drawbridge and went up 250 feet. How drawbridge?, trains, steamboats, hand cars and flying machines could all meet in one spot and not get mixed up any worse than they did is a problem. JOKER.
