Perseverance Rewarded (1910)
For weeks Max has been vainly endeavoring to make the acquaintance of a young lady living in the opposite house; her charms have captured his fancy, but his lovelorn looks and the persistency with which he hovers in the vicinity when she takes walks abroad, have not the slightest effect upon her. He is therefore obliged to resort to stratagem. He bribes a tramp to make an assumed assault upon the damsel, courageously rescues her at the proper moment, and is rewarded for his gallantry by permission to see her safely to her door. From that day forth Max makes rapid progress in his lovemaking, and kisses are often blown across the street from one window to the other. It happens, however, that the two young people are caught one afternoon in the exercise of this agreeable pastime, the one by her mother, the other by his father. They being desirous of discovering the object of such passionate demonstrations, look out of the window across the street. Their stupefaction is mutual at the view of a visage from which the beauty of youth has long since passed, and finds vent in the exchange of notes the reverse of flattering. Their discussion is continued in the street and observing that it is likely to last some time, the young couple slip from their windows to the ground and walk hurriedly away arm in arm. Their disappearing backs are suddenly perceived by their elders, and a gasp or amazement announces the realization of their mistake, which is quickly followed by the conviction that it would be well to continue their own acquaintanceship so inauspiciously commenced.
