The Ghost in the Oven

Hilda was the bakery girl, with a sweetheart who was not altogether welcome on account of Hilda's employer, who objected to his visits. In order to secrete her lover from the baker, who was coming, she hides him in the cold oven, but forgets to hide the tin pail that the beer came in, and a mouse is scented and poor Hilda lost the job and the boss baker hires Hans to take her place; also orders a fire built under the cold furnace. The boy helper, remonstrating, finally tells him there is a man hidden there. The boss at once sees the situation and goes for material for the fire. The sweetheart, overhearing this, makes his escape to the flour bin. The fire is built, but upon examination he finds the bird has flown. Determined not to be outdone, a few old bones are gotten from the cast-off scraps and placed in the oven and Hilda sent for. The boss having had a good laugh at her expense, is just preparing to go fishing over Sunday and accordingly locks the flour bin and repairs to the country to angle for the finny tribe. Upon his return Monday, he finds the new baker on the job and prepares to fill up the bin. In a moment of their absence the lover escapes back to the oven, only to be compelled to confront his executioners, who are amazed and exit pell mell to the street. An excited chase ensues,
