Laugh and Live

CHAPTER XX
10/25

As for the five extra men who posed as the gangsters, all came to the conclusion that dock-walloping was far less strenuous than art, and went back to their former jobs.
"The Good Bad Man" was a Western picture that contained a thrill to every foot of film.

Our hero galloped over mountains, jumping from crag to crag, held up an express train single-handed in order to capture the conductor's ticket-punch, grappled with gigantic desperadoes every few minutes, shot up a saloon, and was dragged around for quite a while at the end of a lynching party's rope.
"Reggie Mixes In" was one joyous round of assault and battery from beginning to end.

Happening to fall in love with a dancer in a Bowery cabaret, _Reggie_ puts family and fortune behind him and takes a job as "bouncer" so as to be near his lady-love.

Aside from his regular duties, he is required to work overtime on account of the hatred of a gang-leader who also loves the girl.

Five scoundrels jump _Reggie_, and, after manhandling four, he drops from a second-story window to the neck of the fifth, and chokes him with hands and legs.
