His attempts at collection arc futile and he spends his last penny on a postal card, saying to one of his principal creditors that he is unable to pay and is desperate. The postmistress reads the card and soon circulates the message around the village. On his way home the editor sees an Indian bargaining for a second-hand shotgun. As the editor has a gun which is not useful to him, he strikes up an acquaintance with the Indian and agrees to sell his gun to him, offering to bring it to the village store. The village gossips recognize a man coming across the street carrying a gun as the editor. When he enters the store everybody, having heard that he is desperate, gives him some coin. He shrewdly collects it and then hies himself back to his office. The villagers hold an indignation meeting over the editor's way of obtaining money which is overheard by Annie, who immediately informs him. They promptly leave the town and when the villagers arrive at the editor's sanctum they find a notice that the paper is tor sale and that the shotgun for collection purposes will be thrown in. To say they are dejected is putting it mildly. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
