You have a plumber's kit; haven't you, Pop?" the manager called to Pop Snooks, the property man, who was obliged, on short notice, to provide anything from a diamond ring to a rustic bridge. "All right for the plumber!" called Pop. "Have it for you in a minute." "And, Mr. Sneed," called the manager to another actor. "You are supposed to be the householder whose water pipe has burst.
We'll call this film 'A Modern Pickwick, instead of what we planned. In Dickens' story there's a scene somewhat like this. We'll change the whole thing about. "Russ, you go on ahead, and when Paul and Mr. Bunn come along with Mr. Sneed, you get them as they run." "All right," assented the young moving picture operator, as he kept on grinding away at the crank.
And he'll never know they was in your corral." Uncle Frank shook his head doubtfully. He was a pessimist and always argued the worst of a possible situation. "And before I'll see Jimmy take a lickin' this trip I'll ride back and shoot it out with Sneed and his outfit," stated Cheyenne. "I reckon you're fool enough to do it," said Uncle Frank.
Stillwell was trying to holster up the crushed Stewart. Hawe rolled his red eyes and threw back his head. "Ho, ho, ho! Ho, ho, ho! Say, Sneed, you didn't miss any of it, did ye? Haw, haw! Best I ever heerd in all my born days. Ho, ho!"
And how cheerfully and ruddily the blaze shone out! It mellowed and cheered everyone. Even Mr. Sneed smiled, and stretched out his hands to the leaping flames. As Ruth and Alice were about to go down, having called to their father across the hall that they were ready for him, there came a knock on their door. "Come in!" invited Ruth.
He's real gentle. Down, Bruno!" commanded the hotel man, and the bear, with a grunt, dropped on all fours. Alice, hearing this talk, opened her door, and then called to Ruth that there was no danger. Mr. Sneed was induced to return, and when Tony himself came to get his escaped pet Mr. Towne's cane was returned to him. The bear had taken it for the pole he was used to performing with.
Bunn and Mr. Sneed leaving in the boat, filmed the captain in the act of receiving this message of good cheer. Later it was worked into a stirring drama, called "The Burning Ship." With all else that was going on, the work of fighting the blaze in the hold was not for a moment given up.
Miss Pennington demanded. "We are going to stop in a big hunting lodge, that I have hired for the occasion," Mr. Pertell replied. "I think you will like it very much." "Hold on! One moment!" exclaimed Mr. Sneed, the grouchy actor. "You may count me out of this! I shall go to no backwoods, in the middle of winter, and freeze. I cannot stand the cold. I shall resign at once!" "One moment.
Even Mr. Sneed seemed to enjoy himself, and the former vaudeville actresses condescended to say it was "interesting." One day an important film had been made and the work involved was so hard that everyone was glad to go to their "bunks" early. Mr. Pertell, Russ and Mr. DeVere occupied a large tent near the wagons where the ladies had their quarters.
"Then I'll go!" cried Mr. Sneed, who was rather "close," and fond of money. "But I'm not going to stand a very big bite for that sum!" he stipulated, while the others laughed. "I'll grade the payments according to the bites, at the rate of a thousand dollars a big bite," declared the manager, also laughing. "Now then, you may make your plans accordingly.
