The little fellow, given the ticket, playfully secretes it in the head of a bust. Want at the home grows worse, and the wife getting desperate, concludes to abandon her husband. That day the husband returning home, learns that his boy's ticket bears the winning number for one hundred thousand dollars. He reaches home in time to intercept his wife and apprise her of the joyful news of their good fortune. A search for the ticket proves unavailing, and the husband grows hysterical, demolishing everything in sight. The bust meets the same fate, and, luckily the wife spies the ticket in the fragment of china and bric-a-brae on the floor. As a sequel, the series shows a vision of a little bed and its occupant, while the latter is gleefully playing with coin as it pours onto the bed. Written by
