He would not pass under a ladder for a fortune. Friday is his evil day. Ever on the alert for trouble, he stumbles over a pin and is happy because he knows now that "luck" has befriended him. Leaving home in the morning, he keeps his "weather eye lifting." for horseshoes, ladders, white horses, and pins. He finds a pin and pounces on it as if it were a golden nugget and proudly secures it in the lapel of his coat. But the charm somehow fails to work, for before he goes far he has a bad fall. In haste he tries to make up for lost time, loses his car, and thereby misses an important engagement. While sadly pondering on the "pins" perversity, a bicycle upsets and worries him. Well, he gets his car, but finds he has lost his pocketbook, and, unable to pay his fare, is thrown off. In consequence he is late for his train, makes a mad rush to catch it, elbows people right and left, is arrested, and finally, in the solitude of a cell has time to remember that it's a "poor rule that will not work both ways." and then throws the "blamed pin" away.
