- Dr. Giddybrains goes to visit one of his patients. Upon arriving at Mr. Larue's, he finds that that gentleman is very ill indeed, and advises his patient to go to a hospital. Accordingly he promises to send an ambulance, and makes a memorandum in his pocketbook as a reminder. Upon leaving the house, Dr. Giddybrains notices that his clothes are getting rather shabby, and so he pays a visit to the tailor. While there, the tailor reminds the doctor that he owes him 500 francs, and the doctor promises to send a check just as soon as he reaches his office, carefully jotting down a reminder in his notebook. Upon reaching home, our good friend writes a letter to the proper authorities, requesting them to send an ambulance, but poor Giddybrains' head has become so confused owing to his great desire not to put the letter in the wrong envelope, that he asks the authorities to send the ambulance to his tailor's, and sends the check to his patient, Mr. Larue. The poor tailor is hurried off to the hospital despite his protests, and Mr. Larue receives the 500 francs. The receipt of this good fortune acts better than medicine upon the sick man; he immediately feels better, and goes out for a walk. He decides, with the utmost delight, that he will spend the money on a convalescent trip. Meanwhile, the tailor has obtained his release from the hospital, and immediately rushes around to the doctor's, where the mystery is revealed. The doctor and his tailor immediately set off after Mr. Larue, but in vain. They reach the station just as the train has left, and the sick man has started upon his unexpected health trip, blissfully ignorant of the disturbance he has left behind.

- When Octavius received a letter signed by Professor Harper, asking him to come out to his country residence to solve a mystery, he felt greatly flattered. When he arrived at the Harper home, the Professor explained that for the past two weeks, somebody had been regularly stealing from his collection of antiquities. Warning the professor to say nothing of his presence in the house, Octavius settled himself in the room with the curios and waited. While he was waiting, the professor received a telegram reminding him of an important engagement in the city that evening. In the excited hurry of departure, the professor completely forgot about Octavius. Thus it happened that when a mysterious female glided into the curio room, and abstracted a few more of the professor's relics, and when Octavius, starting to pursue her, knocked over a few antique busts, the butler, hearing the noise, and believing Octavius to be a burglar, promptly collared him and threw him into the wine cellar. In the wine cellar, Octavius found the missing curios hidden in the pocket of a long coat. When the professor returned the next morning, and effected the release of his ill-used guest, Octavius' first question concerned the identity of the person in the household who owned a stork-print kimono--the only thing he had been able to distinguish clearly about the mysterious female who swiped the relics. The professor reported that the kimono belonged to his daughter. Octavius ordered that the household be summoned before him. He recognized the mysterious female at once. Nonetheless Octavius's duty was only too dear. So he turned sadly to the professor, and informed him that his daughter was guilty of the theft. The beautiful mystery was not the professor's daughter. She was the second maid, and had simply "borrowed " the kimono. The professor's real daughter came in just in time to hear Octavius accuse her of the crime. Things immediately became so lively that Octavius was glad to escape alive.
