The boss shakes his head and smiles, "Nothing doing." Later, his pretty daughter Marguerite might have been seen spooning with her sweetheart Jimmy in the grape arbor. The next day, the mayor and his daughter head down State Street and meet the "boss," who falls madly in love with Marguerite. Result: a compact is made in which the mayor will persuade his daughter to marry the boss, who in return will send the mayor to Congress. After this, the mayor tells his daughter about the deal, and that afternoon she tells Jimmy the doleful news and the two plan to elope--and the mayor overhears. He informs the boss, and together they get into the mayor's auto and call upon every garage, livery, motorcycle, and bicycle establishment in town, threatening to revoke their licenses if they assist the couple at all. Jimmy and Marguerite make the rounds getting more nettled and amazed with every stop and refusal. They grow desperate. They go to the steamship wharf, but the policeman wards them off; the same thing occurs at the railway station, where the station policeman drives them off the rear end of a Pullman. In desperation, they go to the marriage-license office, but are refused a license. Then they walk to the beach where luck favors them for once, for Jimmy meets Captain Brush, an old friend. The captain draws his code book and shows them a passage from the United States Marine Laws where a sea captain can perform the ceremony once the boat is three miles from land. So they hire a tug, reach the captain's big vessel, and are married while the two men sit in the mayor's library smoking innumerable cigars and congratulating themselves on how nicely they have outwitted the eloping pair.
