He kicked a cripple beggar, who asks for alms, and gets knocked down in retaliation, and when he fired a book agent from his office the man shoots a book at him. In the afternoon the typist throws a fit. He is trying to hold her down and keep her from kicking a hole in the floor or the ceiling, when he gets a telephone call to come home at once. He hears over the telephone the voices of many women crying and is so excited that he runs all the way home. He finds that the cook has the smallpox and the entire membership is quarantined along with the family. He tries to beat it but meantime the police have been posted, and not even the fact that the back door guard is a member of his lodge helps him any. Worse still, poor Boggs has to cook for the entire outfit, and he is not a bit cheered when the trained nurse tells him it will only last three weeks longer. He counts the pages of the calendar, is overcome, and realizes that he is sitting in the dough that should be the breakfast biscuits. Written by
