Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Hans Schmidt, who owns a delicatessen store in the little Western town of Clarksville, has a very pretty daughter, Lena, who was determined to marry Jim Jackson, a cowboy employed in the neighborhood. Hans objected to this wedding and to prevent it he locked Lena in her room. Jackson had a scheme to distract the old man’s attention while he and Lena got married. He offered to bet Hans $50 that he could not keep time with the swaying pendulum of the clock, saying “Here she is; there she goes” for half an hour. Hans decided to try it. While he was thus busily engaged, Jim slipped away with Lena and married her. And all during the marriage ceremony Hans kept saying “Here she is: there she goes,” never suspecting that his daughter had gone.
