COMEDY.
the nurse seeking the carriage with baby, while the poor, unfortunate legless man is in a sorrowful plight as he is drawn over the streets backwards at a terrific speed, resembling much the tail of a kite.
One thoroughfare is just being washed, and the men have a hose with a large and strong water pressure, and as the procession passes all are deluged with water. Finally the auto comes to a stop, and when the angry crowd comes up the occupant is roughly used, although he is entirely innocent of any intentional wrongdoing. Highly amusing.

Here they have a good time with the little one, supplying a large cape, helmet and sabre, and painting a mustache and goatee on the face of the innocent little girl they have a glorious time, and the little one finally drops off to sleep and is laid on a cot in full uniform.
The dance concluded, the young couple seek the girl and finally return home, making frantic efforts to find the girl. Failing to find any trace of her here, the man goes to the barracks to seek her. In the meantime the maid takes the doll and puts it in the bed of the girl, and when madam returns she explains that baby is sleeping very nicely.
Arriving at the barracks, the man searches every cot until he reaches the one bearing the precious form of the little one, and with
