The troubles of Jack Montgomery and his i.'rlend,"Jerry Ar old, whose efforts to extricate their fr end, Elmer Flannel, from a love affair with a Turkish maiden earned them a sen- tence of thirty days in jail, produced mostof the comedy. \ After assaulting the constable and making their escape the two welbmeaning bunglers were. again arrested and sentenced, but to n spare his wife the humiliation of knowing that hewas in jail, Jack told her that` they were going to Florida ; a.nd_ even -went the length of booking" hi passage. Being of a "suspicious na-~ ture, she got in touch with the boat on which he was supposed. ger and learnedthat he and Jerry were not there and had been probably wash- 'ed overboard in a storm. The men re- lturned after completing their sentence to find their friends mourning them as dead and they were hard put to it to explain their re-appearance. Matters were complicatedto a considerable ex`- tent by a suspicious mother-in-law, an inquisitive maid and Abou`Ben Mocha, the father of the Turkish girl, whose periodic appearances caused the two men considerable embarrassment.
