A fort is located in the town, and Stephen chooses a spot overlooking the fortifications for his sketching. Zeb Hunger, a wise village constable, jumps to the conclusion that the young fellow is a spy. One night Zeb follows Stephen to his cottage and the young man, surprised at seeing him peeking in the window, points a gun at the constable who, badly frightened, disappears. Stephen laughs while Zeb tells his companions that the city fellow was about to fire when he saw his badge and dropped the gun. One day Stephen sends a message to his firm saying that he is working hard on the fortification grounds. Zeb makes the boy give up the message. His suspicions being confirmed, he rushes madly to the fort and tells the commander that a spy is making sketches. Stephen is arrested. Zeb seizes the drawings and thrusts them in front of the commander's face. The latter drops back bewildered as he finds himself looking at a sketch of a new corset. Stephen explains the situation and the constable is ejected from the house. Written by Moving Picture World, August 11, 1917 See less
