All the delicious humor of Mr. Barry more's delightful personality is at its best in his portrayal 'of the light 'hearted and light-headed, bibulous Fitzhew, whoso mythical adventures in Mexico the comedy so laughably unfolds. Clementina Fitzhew decides to spend a night with her mother, but happening to overhear her husband planning a wonderful time at the Cafe Cleopatra with his friend and boon compunion, Majors, she determines to follow them to the gay cafe and watch haibby. Fitzhew and Majors betake themselves in blissful ignorance to the Cleopatra, and proceed to partake not wisely tout too well of the flowing bowl.

Clementina, afraid .of being appre hended on account of the raid, and not wishing anyone to know of her own jaunt, is with difficulty restrained from going with him. From now on, Fitzhew's adventures on the "island," among his fellow prisoners, his attempts to play on the love of the district attorney's nephew for Sallie, his discovery that the war den has the picture of Clementina, stolen by Paquita, and is in love with Mrs. Fitzhew, his hungry attempts to steal from the other convicts, his meeting with Louis, the waiter at the Cleopatra, who wants to kill the war den and escape, the visit of Clemen tina to the prison notknowing 'her hus iband is there, and the melodramatic jail delivery, culminating "in- Fitzhew's triumphant recapture of the escaping prisoners and his congratulations by the authorities, leave nothing to be de sired in the way of mirth-provoking situations.
