She turns the villain down, but not so with our hero. He takes matters into his own hands, and. laying out both his hated rivals and the troublesome father with a croquet mallet, tries to persuade her to elope with him. She demurs, but he overcomes her objections by means of the mallet, and, knocking her over the head, seizes her in his arms and drags her away. He has trouble in getting through a fence, and the girl becomes tightly lodged in it. A swift kick solves the problem for our hero, but further misfortune looms up when he sees Jane land at the bottom of a deep crevice. At his wits' end, he hurries back and secures a rope. Unable to rescue Jane himself, he revives her father and the villain, and presses them into service to assist him in rescuing his fair one. Unable to affix the rope to the girl satisfactorily, he gets back out of the crevice and Jane's father and the villain are let down. Drawing Jane to the surface, our hero makes his escape with his loved one, leaving her father and the villain to their fate at the bottom of the crevice.
