Maimed in the Hospital (1918)

Sterling and Silver were park pests. Both were in love with Gladiola, the nurse. Sterling was most anxious to get into the hospital, so he sprawled himself out at the front gate in full view of the guard, who ordered him taken to the softest room in the house, the room with padded walls. Silver met with less success, so he hiked over to the park where a girl caught his eye, arousing the jealousy of her escort, who introduced Silver to a couple of wallops which were returned with interest. But even this didn't admit him into the hospital. When Silver witnessed a bold flirtation with the sign "No flirting allowed" staring him in the face, he thought it the surest way to the hospital. After the victim was removed from the love scene in an ambulance, Silver horned in. "Leave the darling alone; I love him," said the fair flirt to the policemen, when he attempted to encore his act with a new leading man; but that afternoon, when he got in front of a target board, he won for himself the much-sought-for opportunity. An operation of the most delicate sort was required to save Silver's life. Everything was set for the removal act, when he beheld his first encounter staring him in the face. Silver then found that it was easier to get into the hospital than to get out.
