It was a hotel, beauty parlor, manicure shop, barber shop, bootblack establishment, swimming pool and gymnasium, and Herr Cutt, the barber, ran a side line for the Boss, which gave more revenue than all of the other sources combined. Through the magic force of a wink, the atomizer suddenly produced the satisfaction of a Scotch highball. So many customers came in for atomizer treatment only, that the detectives got wise and tried to get evidence on the Boss. Dr. Beautifier thereupon made a present of the shop to Herr Cut. It would have gone hard with this innocent grafter had not Mrs. Poodle, the janitor's wife, decided to adopt the beauty treatment. Dr. Beautifier's wife thought that she ought to have an exhibit of the before-and-after type, so she started to take Mrs. Poodle's picture before. The detectives not knowing what he was walking into, and detecting Mrs. Poodle next to nothing, made an excellent blackmail photograph. After a series of incidents, in which the photograph changed hands a dozen times, the detectives, the Boss, Poodle's wife and Herr Cutt decided to call it a day and forget about it.Written by Copyright Description from Library of Congress See less
