She writes, accepting the appointment, and informs them she is sending her hobble skirt by messenger and will appear later. Her maid employs "Happy Mike" to act as the messenger and sends him on his way. "Happy," grasping the opportunity to replenish his depleted exchequer and incidentally enjoy a little excitement, arrays himself in Miss Limelight's habiliments and shows up at the bazaar in all his glory. He is the "hit" of the entertainment, until Miss Limelight arrives and exposes him, when, doing a graceful dive through an open window, he disappears from view. But the irate members of the Fund rush from the house and pursue him. After various adventures, he is finally nailed up in a barrel by a kind-hearted storekeeper and sent rolling down the hill, as he hopes, to freedom, but is finally overtaken in his mad flight, stripped of his borrowed finery and receives his just desserts.
