He had evolved a scheme whereby, at his master's order, he would run alongside the trains which went by their home, barking at the train crew who would try out their skill throwing coal at the pestiferous animal. After it had gone by, old man Scranton, the dog's owner, would collect the coal. But Towser one day went a little too close to one of the big engines, and departed this life very suddenly. Scranton nearly takes the lives of the trainmen, but Phelps, the young express messenger, comes to their rescue, and handled the enraged Scranton pretty roughly. The old man's pretty nieces Gladys and Bessie accuse Phelps of being a ruffian. He is very humble but falls in love with Bessie, "the little Tartar," and attends the next town dance hoping to meet her again. He finds the girls, but they cut him cold. He sends Bessie a very contrite note, so comically worded that she cannot help smiling, and they are soon friends. Pa Scranton, however breaks up the affair and takes both girls home. Gladys and her beau elope, with Bessie as chaperone. After a thrilling chase by Uncle and the startling use of three coffins, the three are safely stowed away in the baggage car on the 9:15. There Phelps discovers them and succeeds in persuading Bessie to follow her sister's example and elope. In the next town, the minister performs a double marriage ceremony, while Uncle's ruffled feelings are later soothed by the present of a handsome dog as near like Towser as possible. He is completely won over when, on seeing a train roaring by, the new dog gallops after it barking wildly, amid a rain of costly anthracite. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
