The Ship's Husband

• Watchlist

Mrs. Knox loves her husband. James Knox, and Clara Jones dearly loves her husband, Henry Jones, and it might be well to add that both husbands loved their dear little wives. But the "Charmer," ah! there's where the trouble lies! Who is the "Charmer"? Mrs. Knox discovers a strange hair upon Mr. Knox's coat, where it had conveniently been placed by a practical joker, also a telegram to the effect that her husband is to sail with the "Charmer" at ten, and that he need not meet her husband, Jones. The green-eyed monster at once proceeds to grow larger and larger, and she rushes down to the boat, but it is far out to sea. She immediately proceeds to inform Mr. Jones that his wife has eloped with her husband. This sets Jones in a whirl and he at once hires a tug, and with Mrs. Knox sails away to capture the villain Knox and his supposed unfaithful wife, Mrs. Jones. But ere this has all transpired, Mrs. Jones, who has all the time been safely on shore, discovers her husband, Jones, running away on a tug with Mrs. Knox. She at once sends Mr. Knox a wireless to the effect that Mr. Jones has run away with his wife, Mrs. Knox, and mistakes pile upon mistakes until the four curious people arrive at the ship's husband's office, where the mystery is all cleared up. "The Charmer" is the name of the boat that Knox sailed away on, and the "husband" is none other than Mr. Jones, himself.
