Approaching the auto, he tells the occupant, a lady, his sad tale of woe, who recognizes him as her long lost brother. Inviting him to ride in her auto, she drives to her banker, where she identifies him as the missing heir of her family and accordingly the banker supplies him with a large amount of money to meet his immediate wants. He loses no time in buying the best outfit of wearing apparel he can find and becomes a howling swell. Finally he decides to indulge in a Turkish bath and hiring a taxi, is swiftly whirled to the desired establishment, where he presents the masseur with a handful of money, demanding the best treatment possible, when he suddenly wakes up to find himself on a bench in the park and a rude policeman ordering him to move on.
