He had a good social standing, plenty of money and relatives in England. One of these relatives, a cousin, had never been to America, but as he placidly explained having visited most of the wild places of the world, he thought he would come over to New York City and hunt buffaloes. At the time of his arrival the judge and his wife were away on a social visit, and the task of receiving the young Englishman fell upon the judge's two fun-loving daughters. They decided to teach him a lesson. They concluded that to be as ignorant as was their cousin was a crime, so they arranged to teach him something. They received him at the pier, dressed as cowgirls, took him home in an auto, and explained that they lived on the frontier twenty miles away. When he asked them about their parents they calmly informed him that father had gone with the rangers to hunt the Indians who killed mother. The young Englishman believed every word of it, and adventures piled upon him. He met some desperate cowboys, went hunting buffaloes on the roads of Westchester County, and finally participated in a thrilling defense of the house when it was attacked by Indians. In the midst of the excitement, the judge and his wife returned and the young Englishman discovered that he had been tricked to the limit. He was not angry, for he was a good natured young man, but as he plaintively said, "I wonder why they spoofed me." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
