COMEDY.
all his fury returns. Demanding an explanation from his wife, which she cannot give, he seeks to find a man in the room, and failing in this, looks out of the window, and seeing a man hatless looking up at the window his suspicions are fully aroused. He accuses his wife of having a visitor, which she indignantly denies. Thrusting her from him, he snatches a sword from the wall and sallies forth. The hatless individual, still looking up, is suddenly assailed by the husband, and flees from his wrath. A cyclist coming down the street is knocked off his wheel by the husband, whom he attackes fiercely. After his pummelling the husband catches sight of the hatless one, and again goes after him.
Several loafers are playing craps on the sidewalk, and are scattered by the husband, who falls over them. They give him rough usage, take off his coat, hat and vest, and run away. The husband, minus these garments, again goes on his quest for the cause of his wrath, who flies to a cafe. His pursuer in his haste knocks over the customers seated at tables outside. They begin to punish him unmercifully, and he is borne to the ground by overwhelming numbers. The man whom he has pursued, seeing that he is getting the worst of the bargain, returns and with a stout stick drives off the assailants, and is thanked for his help. Mutual explanations follow, and the pair go off arm in arm. The wife, being left in such a fashion, picks up the hat and examines it, and she calls the maid and asks her if she has a follower. The maid replying in the negative still adds to the mystery. The
battered husband now appears, offers profuse apologies, explains the circumstances, kisses his wife (who is glad peace is once more proclaimed), embraces his rescuer, and makes his wife do the same, to the great confusion of the pair.
The husband then goes off to make himself presentable, leaving his embarrassed wife and visitor to entertain each other. On his return he insists upon his new found friend staying to supper, and continually adds to the confusion of the guest to the end of the scene.

Approximate Length, 800 feet. The scene is that of a lonely district — the hour is late and at an obtuse angle In the bend of the street are seen crouching two figures, the foremost of which is holding a large handkerchief. Coming down the street to this point are a fashionably dressed man and woman. As they draw close the men leap forward, the one grappling with the woman while the other engages and with the 'kerchief endeavors to strangle the man into subjection. At this moment a tramp comes wandering down the street from the opposite direction and, taking in the situation at a glance, he proceeds to the rescue and soon has the highwaymen in flight. He receives the
