SCENE — Waiting room in Depot. John Edwin Bowts discovered, fixing room in order, John Edwin Uoiots. There must have been a smash-up on the road, (takes a large loatch from pocket) It's already eight o'clock and not a sion of that seven-thirty train ! Maybe they have been caught in Citizens Trains tracks, and are now spinning around the woi-ld. By-the-way — I forgot to read my ]S'ew York World that I picked up in Ihe depot this morning, (takes paper from pocket — looks it over) Here's an article tliat ought to interest me. (reads) "How Kailroads Should be Run, by John., C. M. Depot." X wonder if he knows any more about it than I? (reads) "Kailroads should al- ways be run on tracks." Well, I don't believe in having them run on temperance principals, (reads) "Managers would find it to their advantage lo have their trains always on time." They do over in Waterbury. This is a good piece of advice for our managers, for that train that is due here at seven-thirty is almost an hour late. The last we heard from it, it was at the station above, about ten miles. I shouldn't be surprised to see the nine o'clock train arrive ahead of it. Enter, k. 1 e., Colonel Slumpkins of the Salvation Army, with a large carpet bag, hat box, umbrella, etc. Bowts. Anything you don't want? Colonel Slumpkins. Young man, I desire some information in regard to the delay of the seven-thirty train to Oskosh. Bowts. Very sorry; don't know anything about it! But if you wish to take the trouble to go to the station above, I think they will be able to let you know all about it. Col. S. Young man, can you tell me the distance to the nes./^ station ? Bowts. Yes; it's about teii miles, a yard more or less. P A COLONEL'S MISHAP. CoL S. I don't think that I will trouble niy&elf to go. Boicts. I thought not ! Col. 8. Young man, would you favor me in finding out the desired information for a liberal consideration ? Bowts. Certainly. Col. S. {takes ivallet from pocket and takes a nickel from it — hands to him) Take this, young man, and see that you earn it well ! Bowts takes the money, looks it over, bites it and drops it on the floor to see if it is good. Bowts. Five cents! [disgusted) Say, general, you can call around to-morrow and I will give you the information in full. Col. IS. Excuse me, young man, I am not a general I I am only a colonel. Bowts. (surprised) You a colonel in the army ? Col. S. Yes— the Salvation Army. {opens coat and shows his army shirt Bowts. I almost thought so! So you are a soldier? Col. S. Yes — lam His soldier, {looking upward) Do you want to be saved? {^nits all his things on floor excepit his carpet bag, which he attempts to open) Allow me, young man, to present you with one of our official organs. Bowts. No, thanks 1 I am very sorr}^ to say that my musical education has been sadly neglected ; and organ grinding has nc charms for me, anyway. Col. S. (takes paper from carjjet bag) Excu.-e me, young man, you misunderstand me. {hands him paper Bowts. Oh, I see! Thanks! I'll read this later. Say, colonel, what have you done for the army? Have you rel'oimed anyone? Col. S. indeed, many! 1 knew a gentleman th.at became intoxi- cated once a week regularly ; now that only happens once a month, and — {bell rings outside — Col. Slumpkjxs starts to rush out Bowts. "No hurry, my friend; that isn't the train you want. Col. S, Young man, I think I will investigate ! (gathers up his things and exits R. 1 e. Bowts. I wonder if there are many p'/rsojis like him ? {noise heard e. e, Enter, Me. Byrnes, r. e, 3Ir. Byrnes. Hallo, young fellow! Where's that half past seven train to Oskosh ? Bowts. I'm sure I haven't it around me ! Bijrnes. Don't exasperate me I Always something or other hap- pening when I am in a hurry. This is a devilish looking place. Bowts. If we had known you were coming, we would have put up a new depot with all the modern improvements. Byrnes. Young fellow, do you know to whom you are talking? Bowts. Don't know — don't care ! Byrnes. I am Mr. Byrnes, of Muskegan, of the firm of Byrnes, Rogers and Byrnes — fire and life insurance agents, with offices at Muskegan, Kalamnzo and Burnside. Bovjts. 1 guess j^our identity is fullv established. You, sir, have the honor of speaking to John Edwin Bowts, Esg., formerly of Oskosh, by gosh — no more or less ! Byrnes. Glad to meet you! (ihey shake hands) How's your heart? (passes Bowxs a cigar Bowts. Verv sood. A COLONEL'S MISHAF. 5 Byrnes. {looJcing around room) Say, John Edwin Booth — Bowts, 1 bes: your pardon — Bowts, with the accent on tlie ^'ow." Byrnes. Well, did yon see a colonel, or anything that resembles 3ne, wandering ground here to-day? Bowts. Yes, there was one around here only five minutes ago. Byrnes. Good! Dangerous looking? Bowts. {sarcastically) Awfully! Byrnes. Here's for your information ! (hands money) Wet your i\'histle with it; give it a good drenching! Bowts. Certainly — tliankyou! - (exit i.. 1 b. Byrnes, [takes letter from pocket) To think of a daughrer of mine eloping ! Damme, I can't think of it ! A daughter of Byrnes, Byrnes of Muskegan— horrible! (reads letter) "Dear Father: I am going away with a colonel, a brave, handsome officer. Yours foiever, Emily." 'J'hat was all she left. Enter. Colonel Smythe, r. 1 e., unobserved — listens. —When I come in contact with that colonelj there will be little remaining of him after I get through. Col. Smythe. (aside) If he only knew that the colonel he wishes to lay his lingers on was with liim now ! I have an idea! I wiP throw him oil" the track, {to Byrnes) Permit me! Byrnes. What's that? Smythe. (aside) I'm get thig nervous ! (^o Byrnes) I beg your pardon. I overheard your remarks in regard to a colonel. Jt" has not been ten minutes since I saw a colonel around here, who might be the very person you :ire after. Jyrves. Thank you! You understand my daughter has elG])eci with this colonel. J am Byrnes of Muskegan, of the firm of Bjanes,, Rogers nnd Byrnes, fire and life insurance agents. No doubt you' have heard of me? Smythe. Of course^ of ccurse ! Byri! es. C an ' t 1 i n s u r e y o u r li f e ? Smythe. Certainly, (aside) I'll be able to leave his dauglitcv a little pin money in case he gets the best of me. (to Byr>:es) " Mates out a policy ior five thousand, Mr. Byrnes. Byrnes, Better make it ten thousand, j^oung mail I Thcif^ i>i nothing like leaving 3^our wife indej)endent after you'je gone. I suppose, you are marr.ed? Smythe. Yes; my marriage occurred only three days ago. Byrner,. I su])pose you married a girl of your choice, By-tho- b}'-, with your three days' exi^erience, have j^ou managed to lind marriage a failure? Smythe. I have nothing to complain of. Byrnes. I'll make that colonel of mine think marrying a girl without parental consent, is a lallnre. Smythe. (looking out r. e.) Why, if I'm not mistaken, hen; comes the colonel this way. Mr. Byrnes, I will leave you to deal vfithhim; and I hope you will not be too hard on tiie colonel. Kemember you would not have been any better than the colonel, had you been placed in his position. Byrnes. All right; I'll deal with him as I think besc ! tSmylhe. 1 will meet you later ! (e'.,:it i. \ k. Byrnes. I wonder if the colonel is ver^^ dangerous to ljan.(ii(.;? Well, I must have it ouc Avith him, anyway ! 6 A COLO.^EVS MISHAP. Enter, Col. Slumpkins, r. 1 e. —You villain ! Col. S. Excuse me — I am not a villain ! I am a good man. Byrnes. Come and let me look at my future son-in-law. Col. S. (aside) The gentleman must be insane! 'Byrnes. Are you the colonel? CoL S. I think the good people call me by that honored title. Byrnes, (disgusted — aside) Brave! handsome! gallant soldier 1 [takes coat off— rolls vp sleeves) Are you sure you are a colonel ia the army ? Col. iS. I pray, dear sir, do not be alarmed ! I'm sure I will nol harm jou. Byrnes. Do you know who I am ? I am Byrnes of Muskegan. I a in her father! Col. C. I beg your pardon. Byrnes. What have you done with my daughter, you villain ! Col. S. Excuse me, I am a good man. I harm no one; and J devote all my time to Him. (looking upward) Do you want to be saved ? Byrnes. I'll save you I Defend yourself, you villain ! (rushes at him they struggh Col. S. Help ! help ! Enter, Bowts and James Drake, r. 1 e. — they separate them. Bowts. Stop this, gentlemen ! (Col. Slumpkins rushes out r. 1 e., leaving papers behind Byrnes. Hold on — I am not half through with that villain yet! (rushes outn. 1 e. Bowts. They were enjoying themselves immenselj'-. James Drake. I should say so! Very pluckj^, full of fight— tha^ colonel! Bowts. He has left some papers behind. T.et's see what they are' (takes up papers) Here's some literature of a fiery sort! (reads] "Save youi-self from Satan!" "The War Scream!" "Brotliei Slumpkins has been appointed a colonel, and is to organize an army at Oskosh." Say, that's the fellow that was having this friendly set-to here a little while ago; he has opened out well, (again reads] "As some of our brethren journeyed up the Effel tower at the Paris Exposition, they sang, "Nearer, My God, to Thee." Say, Drake, that's a joke. Brake. Thanks— I see! Bowts. (reading) "The oflfieial barber of the Army has the fol- lowing sign displayed over his shop: 'Come and be shaved!' (Drake laughs) What's tickling you, partner? Cherp it out! let's hear it ! Drake. I have had a very queer experience. About a year ago, a nnm met me and asked me to change a fifty dollar bill for him. Bowts. Keep it up. Drake. I happened to have about ten dollars around me: he asked me to let him have that, for he wanted to loan that amount to a friend with him. 1 gave it to him and he gave me the fifty dollar bill to go and have it changed. Bowls. Very good. Drake. Tlie man disappeared — the fifty dollar bill was a counter- feit. Bowts. Very good for the other follow. A CGLONEVS MISHAP. 7 Drake. To-day I met that very same fellow; he didn't recognize file — I did him ! He came up to me and offered me a watch for ten dollar?. I bought it; itwasadumm3^ Boiots. I pity you, ray friend. Brake. I gave him a fifty dollar hill; he gave me forty dollars change. That titty dollar bill was the verj^'same counterfeit one that he gave me a year ago ; the change he gave me was good money. So I am just forty dollars in — see ? Bowts. Yes; and I'll see you to the nearest apothecary. {exeunt, r. 1 e., singing "We've both been there before'''' Enter, Col. Slumpkins, l. 1 e., a total loreck. Col. 8. I think I have been baclly imposed upon. This is getting to be dangerous both to body and soul. My life is in jeopardy. How 1 wish 1 was back in camp. Some people are so inconsiderate. The boys on the street playfull}^ toss at me ancient vegetables, and eggs of unknown ages and pedi2:ree ; and that mad man has been pursuing me throughout the village. If he attempts to harm me, I will think it my duty to defend myself. I do wish that train would arrive. I would very much like to know if that young man who has charge of this place has earned that live cents yet. I will go and investigate. (starts n. Enter, Byrnes, r. 1 e. — stops him. Byrnes. Ah, just in time! You don't escape me, sir! Ko— not until I get tlu'ough with you, understand? Col. 8. (aside) The mad man I Byrnes. You know me. I am Byrnes — Byrnes of MuskeganI Col. 8. I think we have had a little interview before. Byrnes. Yes, and that was interrupted just as we were coming to the point. A man that takes my daughter and goes otF with her without m}^ authority, is a villain, a black villain 1 Col. 8. (aside) I must humor him. (aloud) Of course! I think you are correct in your observations of that cm--. Byrnes. You own up? That's right! K^w, tell me, where is my daughter? Col. 8. (aside) Poor man I lie is always thinking of his daugh- ter — something must have happened to her. Byrnes. Come, be quick! Col. 8. My dear sir, I am sure I know not where your daughter is. Byrnes. Why don't you? Col. 8. Because I have not the pleasure of knowing your daughter. Byrnes. Do you dare to defy me? I, Byrnes — Byrnes of Muske- gan. Don't enrage me! Col. 8. V.y dear sir, I think this is going too far, and I warn you not to trouble me any more. Byrnes. Come, I'll give you a few minutes to consider, (takes out watch) Your time will soon expire. Col. 8. And so shall I, if no one comes to my assistance. Byrnes. Your time is up. Are you ready to divulge where my daughter is ? Col. 8. Ko, sir, I cannot. I warn you, I am a desperate man. (shakes umbrella at him Byrnes, You are, are you ? (getting hold of Slumpkins and shak* 5 A COLOXEVS MtSBAP. ing him) Damme, I'll finish what I started to do before! Col. 8. Help! help! Save me! Enter, Bowts and Drake, r. e. — Smythe l. e Bowts. Hallo, what's this? Drake. Are they at it again ? I'll bet a dollar on the colonel. Smythe. Stop it, gentlemon ! Stop it ! {they separate thcTV Byrnes. Let me get at him ! Let me get at him I Col. 8. Save me! Save me! Col. 8. Byrnes, you have made a mistake ! Yon have the wrong man. Byrnes. What? Byrnes, of Muskegan, gnilty of such an error? Impossible ! 8mpthe. I am the man you want. I am Colonel Smythe, of the Michigan militia. The other gentleman is Colonel Slumpkins of the Salvation Army. Byrnes. Great n"^ews ! I am glad to have you for a son-in-law. Shake, old boy! (they shake hands) (to Slumpkins) Colonel Slumpkins, accept my apologies! Very sorry to have caused you all this trouble. Col. 8. Mention it not! _ Byrnes, (handing him money) Devote this to your cause. Anv tune you are in Muskegan call on me. (bell rings outside) Gentle- men, here's the train at last ! All aboard ! Byrnes and Smythe start to exit through r. e.— Bowts and Drake opposite entrance— bell rings again and Slumpkins walks through window in rear of stage. CUETAIN.
