Not knowing what to do to soothe the angry crowd, our poor man makes a desperate attempt for the door, but not succeeding to break away jumps out of the window. A poor hunchback selling lottery tickets in the street, receives the whole human load on his crippled back, and after a severe tumble is rewarded for his bruises by the pursued man buying his last ticket with his last quarter. The next scene represents our pauper friend in a garret reading a paper. He suddenly sees the results of the lottery in one of the columns, and having found out that he is the winner of the big prize, has an ad put in all the papers promising a reward to the hunchback that has unconsciously saved his life and unwittingly replenished his purse. A hundred cripples answer the ad, but they all return empty handed, and Mr. Hardup is despairing of ever finding his benefactor when the original hunchback makes his appearance, and soon after he is seen deporting, handsomely rewarded by our now wealthy citizen.
