DRAMATIC.
the auto in a vain endeavor to overtake it. As he gains upon the latter, the motorist draws a gun and shoots, striking the keeper a number of times, who falls to the bottom of the cart exhausted. The horse soon halts, and the keeper's dog, surmising that all is not right with his master, jumps at the horse and soon has him headed back for home, where they arrive shortly, and the keeper is removed and taken into his home and properly cared for.
Smarting under the injustice and insult he was unwittingly obliged to submit to, the keeper and wife lay a plan by which the former is able to meet his foe and avenge himself honorably. Accordingly we see the keeper's wife in the road at a given point when the auto comes along, the occupant alights and instructs the chauffeur to go on. The man and woman are soon engaged in conversation, when the keeper appears, removes his hat and coat, and, coming forward, taps his foe upon the back and demands satisfaction. The motorist draws a gun, but is prevented from using it effectively by the timely action of the keeper. In the fight that follows our hero is very considerate and deports himself a thorough gentleman, but administers to his cowardly antagonist a well-deserved thrashing. The keeper and wife now return home, and the entire audience, no doubt, join them in the feeling that their honor has been vindicated.

A traveler approaches and requests to be permitted to photograph the two. The request is granted, and having made the exposure and expressing his thanks, the stranger passes on, followed by the admiring gaze of the maid. A sailor, coming along the same path, is received by the father very kindly, but the latter soon enters the home, leaving the former in the company of his daughter. He is evidently deeply in love with the maid, for he makes his declarations in a very dramatic manner, but his attentions are not acceptable, and she joins her father. Hopeless, he staggers on to his quarters.
We next see the stranger at the coast throwing stones into the rough sea. The fishermaid passes along with a basket of fish bound for the market, and as the two meet he presents the finished photo
