The tramp continues to do this sort of thing for some little time. He is now seen outside a restaurant, begging and again he asks Van Bibber for money, who happens to be going into the place for a meal. He is dragged into the place by Van Bibber who orders them to bring the hungry man a good dinner. A big spread is quickly set before the tramp, who chokes and curses all through the meal as though it were poison. Unable to keep up the deception longer, he starts for the door, but Van Bibber, anticipating his move, calls in a passing policeman. Everybody in the place is now up forming a circle around the thoroughly disgusted tramp, who is compelled to pay for his meal and to tip the waiters with the dollar and a half given him by Van Bibber, who smilingly makes his way through the admiring crowd and out into the street, satisfied that the hungry man was fed.
