He left the bride waiting and went out to raise some "mazuma." During his absence a poor but nervy guy stepped in and tried to grab the bride, but the minister showed caution and demanded a fee. This individual didn't have it either, and he was forced to go out just as the bride's father was coming in. Meanwhile, Billie had contrived to get hold of a purse and was returning when he met the departing individual, who relieved him of it. Billie retrieved the purse, but this didn't help him, for when he got back to the bride her father was there, and he had a decided aversion to Billie. The polite thing was to leave, which Billie did. Father also left; so did a squad of cops who were careless with their guns. Bill went down a manhole, father did likewise, the individual was also present, and the cops were also on hand. How they all got out no one knows except the individual, and he was in no condition to tell. Written by
