Impromptu Cousin Pete Fixes a Wild Night at Crossroads
Pete, a sly petty thief, stumbles into Columbia Crossroads and steals mail and letters from a torn pouch. He bones up on a cousinly ruse, stays with Miss Ethel Towners, and fends off a burglar, then rigs a chaotic escape with Towners’ mare. He ends up in a shelter plotting to settle debts by mailing six promissory notes to Anson Burritt with a taunting note.
