- Tlic Clilcncn In The Cnso
Steve Trains had a bright Idea.
He -ould burrow Percy Jones' wife.
i The Inspiration back of this happy
thoiighl was caused by the fact that
In ordiHt for Stove to acquire bis In
heritance he had to be either forty
four or married, and Steve was neith
er. So tho plot was hatched and
Winnie Jones Introduced to Steve'
Aunt Sarah, th guardian of th fam
ily treasury, n Mrs, Stu-phcn Verklns.
So far, so good., In fact, It wa Inly
mense but Aunt Sarah took a treat ;
liking to Winnie, and dragged her and
her "hubby" oil to a little cotlag In '
the country, of course Percy Jones
hal to trail along; ho wasn't going to
let his new brldo out of hj sight it .
he knew It. - ,
Then, to make rqatter even mor
interesting, It develop that - Itvinja ,
right next dopr was Major Whitman,
and his daughter Ruth, th latter be
lug the young lady that Btv watt
violently In love with. Ana Earah)
thinks she suspects an "affair" bes
tween Percy Jones and Wbinle; lq
fact, she ls sure of It, and make '
up her mind and when Au.1' Sarah'
mind ls Via ile up good night! Th .
more Auntie trie to straighten out I
matters, the more mixed up thing I
become, until at the end th only way
cuat Is to te.ll the truth.
Owen Moore takes the part ot Steve
and Catherlna Perry I Ruth. .
Vivian Osborne '!',
Vivian Osborne has the sympathetic
role of th sweetheart, Isabella Strong,
paljent and loving, In "Over th Hill."
Her la a characterization that Will
long be remembered.
