"\ can restore life to the dead if I can get a current of electricity strong enough," promises the Professor to the Warden. "All right, let's take your mummy from the museum and run over to my electric chair. It's idle to-day and has lots of juice," returns the Warden. It was Friday, the thirteenth, in "Happy Day's Prison," and Prisoner No. 13 was elected to be the guest of honor at his own execution. But he was superstitious and while he had a breath of life left in his body, he determined to escape. This he did and to avoid detection forced the porter of Prof. Quince's museum to change clothes with him. He is forced to take the porter's job because a policeman near precludes his chance of getting away. The many specimens in tiie museum cause the luckless prisoner to wish he was out of it, but fate seems against him and he stays on. The Prof .'s fair daughter, Mamie, attracts him hugely, but he has little time for her on account of his efforts to keep the disrobed porter, "sub rosa," as it were.

While they are discussing the matter, the prisoner, having effectively disposed of the troublesome porter, comes back into the museum, discov The mummy participates in the liquid refreshments. ering the Warden's presence. He tries to make his escape, but escape is cut off and in desperation he hides in the mummy case, which, forthwith, is carried away by the Warden and the Professor to the prison.

Realizing that fate is agin' him, he decides to do the job himself and sitting in the electric chair, starts to adjust the harness preliminary to his demise. The near-sighted Professor believes he is witnessing a miracle. Bill escapes, is pursued and finally caught when the Warden hands him a pardon.
