A Question of Clothes (1914)

Weary Logan dropped into town the very day that a general tramp hunt was organized by Henry Harvey, the local magnate. Catching sight of Weary Logan having a tussle with a dog, Harvey telephoned the police and extra impetus was given to the hunt. Feeling a bit seedy, Harvey decided to go out into the country for a while, so he phoned his wife and started off. As luck would have it, Weary Logan spied Harvey taking a swim in the lake. Taking the banker's clothes, he proceeded to put them on, leaving his own in their place. Harvey caught sight of him and yelled, but Logan gave him the laugh and started for the village. In the tramp's clothes, Harvey returned to the village, but on his way he tasted a bit of the world's attitude toward tramps and a change came over him. Weary met the other side of the question and in his changed appearance found employment formerly refused him. Harvey soon reached the village and was arrested by the very police he urged on in their tramp hunt. The local paper got the story and made much of it. In this way Weary Logan learned of Harvey's identity. He wrapped up the clothes he had taken and called at the house to deliver them. Harvey's experience had given him a different outlook on life and when explanations were over the two men shook hands and were friends.
