Arriving upon the scene, learning the right direction he jaunted happily along almost as light as the country air he breathed. He soon discovered his path led him along the banks of a stream. The warmth of the summer air; the re-awakened desires and pleasures of boyhood seized and permeated his veins. With an outburst of enthusiasm he looked carefully about, then hurriedly disrobing plunged into the stream to enjoy a good old-time swim. Miss Evergreen of Lonesomeburg, the seller of the house, above mentioned, had living with her, two nieces, the youngest of whom was a veritable tomboy and at the moment Mr. Swell was disporting himself in the water Jennie, the tomboy, was rolling an empty barrel along the lane. At a turn toward the river she was confronted by a pair of trousers hanging from a bush. "Just what we need for a scarecrow," said she, confiscating them at once and making a beeline for home, minus the barrel. The ensuing adventures of Mr. Swell in the barrel, a substitute for his trousers, which he later discard for a skirt belonging to Miss Evergreen, furnish an abundance of fun. In the last scene Mr. Swell is seen again in his palatial city home enjoying its comforts and vowing to never again seek divertisement in the country.
