Her mother comes in at this point, bringing
ment party that follows she loses the watch, which is picked up by Homer Wilson, a dissipated young man, who recognizes
it as belonging to Marion. She is alone in the sitting room when he approaches her and presents the watch. She is more
than delighted and gives him a rose from her hair. Coincident with this, Hal comes in, and his jealousy turns love to hatred.
He demands his ring back; and, although Marion tries to explain, he refuses to listen. A few days later, Marion, out shopping, again
loses her watch. This time it is picked up by a little boy, the son of a drunkard—Tom Babbitt. He shows the watch to his father,
who immediately confiscates it and then sells it to a pawnbroker. Marion, having lost both her engagement ring and her watch, is
much distressed.
Old Mr. Morton, the uncle of the dissipated young man who originally restored the watch to Marion, worrying over his nephew's
bad habits, disinherits him. Previoulsy he has visited the pawnbroker's and purchased Marion's watch. He concludes it would be
a nice present for her, little knowing that she was the original owner. He is taken suddenly and seriously ill, but, admiring the
girl, makes her the sole beneficiary under his will, and additionally sends her the watch. Just about this time Hal Collins finds out he
has been very much mistaken about Marion; they are reunited, and all goes well, as the restored watch ticks comfort for confidence.

CHANCE TO SPOON

SON Maxwell Sargreu
The sporty best-man, as the bride and groom are about to depart on a trip, lays a wager that the couple cannot remain incognito
a week, or, if they do, that their guests will completely furnish their new home, without resort to the "dollar a week down for feathering the nest." The bride and groom make a good "get-away," and, picking up the "want ads" in the paper, observe that a hotel
demands "a live bellhop" and "a neat-appearing chambermaid." They disguise themselves and
secure the situations. The bride is made the "bellhop" and the groom the "chambermaid."
The latter meets his first Waterloo when an actress summons him to hook up her gown, a
"Parisian puzzle," but is happily rescued when the sagaciaus "bellhop" comes, bringing floral
offerings from her admirers.
In the meantime, the bride has had troubles of her own, having been placed in charge of
one of the old periodical "jags" who comes to the hotel for enjoying this particular diversion. The groom is saddled with a wailing infant while the mother goes shopping, and the
bride is kept busy rushing cocktails to a crowd of "shirt sleeves" playing poker in a quiet up-
The new servants prove so popular with the guests that their tips are enormous, and
couple reap quite a harvest from their practical joke. At the end of the week's engage-
they return to the room they rented, and, arraying themselves in all their bridal finery,
go back to meet the guests of their wedding face to face, and receive the useful wager they
have so ingeniously earned.
