A Troublesome Satchel
This comedy demonstrates the old maxim "a bad penny is always turning up," for it seems impossible' for our friend Brown to get rid of the odious handbag. At a sale of unclaimed express packages the satchel looks good to Brown and he purchases it. Upon opening it he finds it contains a full set of burglar's tools. Well, here is a fine predicament for an honest man so he endeavors to get rid of it, leaving it behind him at several places, but it is always returned to him by some kindly disposed and well-meaning person. In desperation he seeks a secluded spot in the park intending to deposit it in the shrubbery. On the way he is followed by a couple of crooks who hold him up just as he is about to drop his "elephant." They take his money and valuables and also the satchel, which they open at once and learning its contents, immediately return his valuables and money, shaking his hand, with the expression. "Why, one of the Brotherhood."
