Then he carries out a fell design. He hires two dagos. "He'll be on the ladder and I want you guys to beat him," he tells them. Later Gus climbed up the ladder. The dagos threw a blanket over his head, when he broke loose and confronted them. In the meantime, Vincent and Margy had eloped, and Vincent went hunting for a minister. Gus enlisted the assistance of father. Vincent had registered at the hotel, but as there was another honeymoon couple in the hotel, and Gus asked for "the honeymooners," they were shown to the wrong room. Then Gus caught sight of Margy's trunk. "Get inside," suggested the father. So Gus was dragged into their room. Vincent returned with the Reverend O. N. Quick, and the ceremony was about to be performed when Gus raised the lid. Vincent seized Margy's hand, and they beat it. Gus chased them assisted by father. The elopers jumped on the fire-escape, pulling the minister after them. Gus seized the end of it and hung on, but the Reverend Quick was equal to the occasion, and he read the two into matrimony as calmly as if he were in his own church, while Gus dangled precariously from the end of the ladder.
