Then he leads Lillian into the house, telling her that she must be pleasant to the new minister, who is on the way to their house. Lillian, however, manages to get out to tell her troubles to her lover. Meanwhile, "Wandering" Webster, a tramp, sneaks to the kitchen window and is seen by the hired girl, who can love anything in the shape of a man. She invites him into the kitchen to eat. Cartottle observes this and kicks the tramp out. "Wandering" Webster meets the new minister driving a lazy horse, and reading the Bible at the same time. He forces the man to descend from the buggy and to exchange clothes with him. When "Wandering" Webster arrives as the minister, Cartottle receives him with gusto. The visitor makes many demands with well-assumed nonchalance, and makes love to Lillian. Having been informed by Milt that the hired girl is an heiress, the tramp proposes to her and soon afterward they became man and wife. Ho then finds that her fortune consists of a small pile of pennies. The real minister tells him he must stay by his marriage contract. Milt and Lillian have also been married.
