One holiday in February, while the snow is still deep on the ground, Splotz tells his faithful spouse that he has to go on a little business to Yonkers. For current expenses he carries along with him forty dollars in good coin of the realm. Splotz thinks himself very clever, especially in fooling his better half, for instead of going to Yonkers, he hies himself to the bachelor quarters of some of his cronies to indulge in a quiet little séance of the Great American Game. About the time Splotz is due home, they go to settle up and Splotz is shy twenty-five of the forty dollars that he started out with. The snow is deep outside and the weather cold and Splotz is prevailed upon to take a little nip for warmth's sake. He does so, and not being used to imbibing, it affects him in such a way that he flounders in a big snow drift and is rescued by a couple of ladies. He gives them his card with thanks and loses his eye glasses. Wifey is parading the floor greatly worried because hubby is three hours late. At last Splotz arrives. He is profuse in his explanations for being late and elaborately tells what happened to the missing twenty-five dollars. Such a pitiful tale he tells of helping a poor woman and her four children that it almost brings tears to Mrs. Splotz's eyes. Alas and alack, Splotz has made good, but the evil spirit in the shape of the good Samaritan who found his glasses, enters to return them and then, Splotz has to do some talking.
