Mrs. Boyer consoles Jack and, meeting a dwarf, suggests a scheme to him. They rig the dwarf out as a French count and she takes him to see Nell. Nell being coached, pretends to fall violently in love. Then Mason begs Jack to marry Nell, but Jack will have nothing to do with him. At length, in despair, Pa gives a lodge brother the high sign and together they hire a minister to do a little job of marrying and go and kidnap Jack. The minister's arrival makes Nell and the dwarf fear the bluff has been called, but Pa's arrival with Jack saves the situation and Jack marries Nell at the point of the gun with which the dwarf has been threatening Pa. Then Pa discovers that the gun is not loaded and smells a rat. The dwarf demands his pay, but Pa takes it in good part and marries the widow, just to prove there is no hard feelings. Written by
