The lively young hoy is Bobbie, acrobat and juggler. Apart from the ‘group is Aldile Lo Beau, possessed of ridiculous dignity and 'conceit. During the performance that night a large pie is brought to Joey for lus stage supper by Bobbie. On opening it they arc both stupified to see a child sitting m the pie. The audience applaud wildly. The Mayor arrives with news that tho (child’s mother has been found drowned, and a document foupd on the woman ■slates that the father of Bimbo is unknown. The clpwu and his wife adopt the child. One evening the children in their play, arouse Alcide’s anger—Bobbie intervenes, and in the struggle tho lamp is upset, und Alcidc is badly burned. On Aldde v ls return from the hospital he that Bobbie baa taken over bis cboviot act, and bis heart turns to black haired. The children bring him a set of puppets as a peace-offering, Joey telling him that he must in truth resign himself to the role of a “Puppet Man, Ids disfigurement precluding anything •else.
