He arose and went out in the park. There he saw a stately beauty whom he tried to get acquainted with, but instead of getting acquainted he got a black eye from the beauty's little fist. He came home to his wife's lawn party, but his right optic was so discolored that the guests made remarks. He then explained how he got it in saving a little child from a railroad track. He got away with it nicely until his wife requested him to meet the guest of honor. The guest of honor was none other than the beauty. Also another guest was present, who knew about Mr. Rawsberry's peeper and he laughed so long and loud that Mr. Rawsberry shoved this gentleman down a coal hole. He got out, however, and came back just at the wrong time, or, in other words, when Mr. Rawsberry was having his troubles with a lady in prehistoric costume and her jealous partner. The unpleasantness did not cease here either, as all the guests got into the excitement unwillingly. Mrs. Rawsberry has given no more lawn parties, and Mr. Rawsberry has saved no more children.
