in the end, falls in love with her.
When the two weeks are up, the pro
moter'' returns and the girl seeming
ly makes up her mind to go with him,
but not as his wife, although this Is
proposed. The lover cannot stand for
this and all ends happily. with the
happy pair starting for the parson

bashful fellow, who asks him TO cure

a little plot. which is carried out
when the parlor lights are suddenly
turned out and Lew does a cave-man

Chaplin pictures and the only one in

brated footgear and funny little derby
hat. to don the bizarre uniform of a
captain in the Spanish omelette bri-
gade, under the name of Darn Hos

by Ben Turpin whose eyes seem more
dangerously crossed than ever. Car
