Reggie's Engagement (1910)
Reggie loved Celestina and he did not love her any the less because she had a rich papa, though that was not the reason Reggie loved. Papa had not seen Reggie and so Celestina wrote him to come out to Cliffwood Sunday and let father look him over. That was joyous news for Reggie and he pressed his other trousers and packed them in a suitcase along with the engagement ring and other things and started for the suburban town. Celestina had to go to church with papa but she left a note for Reggie to come straight to the house and Reggie started out. It was a long walk and when Reggie sat himself down to rest he did not know that he was sitting on fresh paint until a constable arrested him because there was a murderer roaming about the country in a pair of white trousers with blood stains on them and Reggie's white ducks fitter the bill except that red paint does not smell like blood. That is what let Reggie out and he retired into the bushes to change to his other pair. All the trouble made Reggie thirsty and he headed for a saloon. Mike Regan was there too, with a growler in a suitcase and a Sunday morning thirst. Reggie picked up the wrong suitcase and so did Mike. He found it out when he offered to treat a policeman to a drink. Reggie's white ducks with the red stains looked bad and the policeman told Mike to keep his explanations for the judge and dragged him to jail. Meanwhile Reggie had reached Celestina's home and to his great joy papa said Reggie wasn't much to look at, but he might do as a son-in-law. That was Reggie's cue to dig the ring out of the suitcase and there was a mighty upheaval when the case was opened and the growler was disclosed. Reggie's papa-in-law-to-be was the reformer most active in making Cliffwood saloons close up on Sunday and he had Reggie arrested for buying beer on Sunday. They took him to court where Mike was being arraigned and the tangle was partly straightened out. Then the real murderer was found. Mike and Reggie were freed and the ring was still in his own suitcase and papa let him put it on Celestina's hand and everyone was happy except the murderer and he had no right to be.
