Full Plot Details

The young business man, who lived in a suburban town near New York was not wealthy himself, but had expectations in the shape of a wealthy elder brother, who lived in England. This brother wrote that if the American's first child was a boy, and was named after him, he, the wealthy bachelor uncle, would gladly send $5,000 and make his namesake his heir. As matters turned out, the American's "first child" was twins and both of them girls, but being resourceful, the happy father cabled his brother, whose name was John Henry Carson, that the twins were boys and he had managed to name both of them after the wealthy bachelor, by calling one John and the other Henry. He got the $10,000 he asked for, and for years his deception was not discovered, as the ocean divided the two brothers. Then one day the brother in England was enlightened and he determined upon a novel revenge, and sent word that he was coming to America to see his heirs, and what he had expected, happened. The parents to hide the secret, dressed the little girls up as boys and the uncle had a high old time teaching them how to box, play baseball and indulge in other rough sports that boys enjoy. They were such nice little girls, however, that uncle could not really be harsh with them, and in the end they won his love, and he admitted that he was glad after all that his namesakes were little girls instead of rough and rude little boys.
