In blissful ignorance of this fact, he carries it off and it begins to make trouble for him. He departs for his desk at the office in ample time, according to the watch, but when he arrives there he finds himself several hours late, and his only plea being a new watch, the employer decides that something is wrong. He is next seen as he keeps an appointment with his sweetheart, taking his deficient time piece as a guide. When he reaches the rendezvous he waits patiently but the lady does not appear. When he makes inquiry, however, a waiter hands him a note from her, in which she states that she waited for him for an hour after he was due, and being fully convinced that he is not sincere, earnest, etc., etc., does never again want to hear from him. The poor fellow almost collapses when he compares his time piece with another; but his troubles are not yet over, for on reaching home he finds a letter from his employer telling him that his presence need no more cast its brilliancy over the establishment - fired.
