He applies and secures work at the Ganes shoe factory. Here he is recognized by a detective and when his record is made known to the management he is discharged. The inevitable follows. Tim spends many weary weeks searching for work, but is rebuffed at every turn through the efforts of his nemesis, the detective. Finally he is forced to beg. He appears at the Preston home and asks for bread. Mrs. Preston gives him a loaf of bread she has just baked. After his departure, Mrs. Preston discovers the loss of one of her rings. Tim returns home with the bread and finds the ring inside the loaf. His mother prevails upon him to return the ring, and Tim starts for the Preston home. Arriving at the Preston's he is recognized as an ex-convict and before he has a chance to explain, the dog is set upon him. He flees, but is later captured and taken prisoner.
