Der of articles from the show win

goods through the small round holes
made in the window frame for ven.

rod between three and four feet
long with a sharpened hook on the
end to draw the goods to the hole.
Among the articles taken were la.
dies handkeychiefs and stockings.

hurried from their work, as they

Therefore, the poor, slim princess, (Mabel Normand) stands very title chance of realizing the happy state of matrimony
 She is hidden away, until one day because of an offer that her fathel has for the hand of her younger sister. lawn fete is given in her honor in an endeayour to find her a husband, so that her younger sister may be married.

 The slim princess retired to quiet corner under the wall to dwell upon the inconvenience of her beautiful little figure. Over the wall, came an adventurer, a young American, Pike With straightforward, Yankee impul- slveness, he began making love to the princess. but the servants see him and chase him away. Not to be cas- fly outdone, Pike returns to ask the slim princess father to allow her to marry him.
 Her father desires to know his rank whether he has any social position. and just in what manner and way he is qualified for the hand of his daugh- ter. Now Pike is a Yankee, and as Yankees are not kings, nor knights nor anything else in that line. Pike has to do some quick thinking to gain his desire. He does it, But how?
