Mr. Hammond was absolutely unable to see Jim in the light of a prospective son-in-law, however, and the young people were obliged to exercise considerable ingenuity to see anything of each other at all. One evening, Mr. Hammond went down to an important business engagement. Bessie promptly called Jim up, and asked him to come over and see her. Jim, in spite of his protests, borrowed a new overcoat from his roommate and went to the Hammond home. As he and Bessie were sitting in the parlor, saying exactly what they thought about each other, Mr. Hammond returned unexpectedly. Jim hid behind the piano. Mr. Hammond sent his daughter off to bed. and settled down in the parlor to read. After three hours of agony for the unhappy Jim, Mr. Hammond also left for bed. Jim crept stiffly from behind the piano, and stole to the door. He knocked a vase over in the hall, and in his desperate hurry to escape, slammed the door on his friend's overcoat. Mr. Hammond aroused by the noise, came downstairs, looked out through the glass on the door, recognized Jim. and with a smile of satisfaction, telephoned to the police asking them to come up and arrest a burglar in a light overcoat on his porch. Jim overheard Hammond's remarks, slipped out of the overcoat and fled. Mr. Hammond, discovering his flight, came out on the porch to get the overcoat. The door slammed behind him. He put the overcoat on for warmth. When the police came, they, not unnaturally, arrested him. Meanwhile, Jim had been obliged to confess to his friend what had happened to the coat. Fifteen minutes later, the police station was the storm center of a small sized riot. After the ownership of the coat had been finally established, Jim's friend finally settled the situation by threatening to write the whole affair up for the newspapers.
