They have not seen each other since the chiming of the wedding bells. Pike's frequent visits to the "club" have aroused the suspicions of his wife, and, seeing the error of his ways, he decides to lie no more to wifey. Mrs. Lane, Bill's wife, is awaiting the return of her husband from a trip out west and is delighted when she receives a beautiful new umbrella from him. She and her brother decide to go out to a show which is no sooner decided than done, Mrs. Lane parading her new umbrella. This night Pike really had an engagement at the club and finally prevailed upon his wife to let him go, after promising to be home early. But the best-laid promises oft gang astray, although, in this instance, one could hardly blame Pike. When about to say goodnight to his pals and return to his home, he spied a man who owed him some money for a long, long time walking down the street. So away went Pike after him, following him into the same cabaret where Mrs. Lane and her brother were partaking of an after-theater bite. Pike duns the man for the money he owes him. "Wait one moment," replies the man, "while I get a blank check." Pike waits and waits and waits, but the man does not return. In the meantime, Mrs. Lane is much in the same fix as Pike. Her brother recognized the same man as owing him money and followed him out of the restaurant, where the two get into a fisticuff and the police station.
