He had ambitions of either sending Pansy to school or marry her off so that he could live comfortably from his son-in-law. Pa Pickles receives a letter from some attorneys stating this his step-daughter's uncle died and left a vast estate but that Pansy was not mentioned in the will. At and the same time the school teacher who taught Pansy her P's and Q's, received a letter stating that his inheritance was being shipped by express. The station agent hears of this inheritance and knows right well old Pa Pickles will favor the school teacher. He takes a bank book from one of the men, crosses out the name and puts his name on it, adding several figures too. Pansy goes off to school, but when teacher calls the roll, Pansy is not present. He sends a notice to her Pa, who searches for her, finds her sitting in a tree reading a book. He throws a stone at her and she falls right into the school room under the spanking machine. She, in turn, throws the teacher under the spanking machine and the poor fellow has matches in his pocket, that burn and blaze like fury. Pa Pickles finds the bank book with the station agent's name on it and decides that Pansy shall marry the agent. Some one put's Pa wise that it isn't his book at all, and the agent is thrown out.
