Having hidden away so much property, which, like so many modern
investments, never can be unearthed, he was known as a great
_sea-cretur_. Before him kneels his lovely and innocent victim, the
Lady Blousabella Infantina, who was several times taken and murdered
by this bloodthirsty tyrant, which accounts for the calm look of
resignation depicted upon her lovely countenance.

"Wind 'em up, John."

Costumes: Captain Kidd--white pantaloons, blue shirt, sailor hat, pistol
and sword.

Victim--Lady with flowing hair, white dress. Movement--The captain's
sword moves up and down, and the victim's arms go in unison.

V. THE SIAMESE TWINS

Two gentlemen dressed alike in ordinary costume, with a large bone
(attached by wire or string) between them. One arm of each over the
other's neck. Pugnacious expression of countenance.

"The wonderful Siamese Twins compose the next group. These remarkable
brothers lived together in the greatest harmony, though there was
always a bone of contention between them. They were never seen apart,
such was their brotherly fondness. They married young, both being
opposed to a single life. The short one is not quite so tall as his
brother, although their ages are about the same. One of them was born
in the Island of Borneo, the other on the southern extremity of Cape
Cod."
