The sight of a beautiful woman threw him into an ecstasy. Hence one day, when with the aid of field glasses, he espied a lovely apparition in the upper window of a store, his impulsive temperament forced him to rush over to the store and make inquiries. The proprietors and sales force of the store attributed his frenzied demands to insanity until Wood B., with an unmoved saleslady, absent-mindedly wiped his brow with a stocking and put it in his pocket. He was immediately seized and thrown from the store as a shoplifter. He entered the store by a side door, and made his way upstairs. Before a glass stood a lady clad in the exact cloak he had noticed on his beloved. Wood B. immediately proposed. The lady screamed and slapped him. She was not the same. Once again Wood B. was thrown from the store. Then Wood B. enlisted the aid of the faithful Darby Jenks. Describing the lady's costume minutely, he sent Darby into the store with a note for her. Darby found a rather plain person who answered Wood B.'s description with regard to dress exactly. When he gave her Wood B.'s note, she rushed down enthusiastically to meet her admirer. Wood B. saw her coming and tried to run. She, also, was not the one. The lady claimed that she had been insulted, and the sorely tried private detective threatened Wood B. with instant death if he ever returned. Wood B. returned to his apartment disconsolately and looked at the lady with the glass. As he looked, he started with horror. The proprietors of the store were pounding his beloved with their fists. Filled with indignation. Wood B. got a policeman and rushed to the rescue. It did not take the rabid remarks of the almost frenzied proprietors to make him see, after he had reached the lady, that she was a wax model. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
