Pearl removes it and places it in a vase atop the mantel piece. Uncle, alone one day in the parlor, reaches up for a match, and knocks over the vase. He immediately rushes around with the fragments to the ash can and throws them in, together with the $400. He then goes to a crockery store and buys an exact duplicate of the vase he broke. Returning he puts the vase in its accustomed place. Meanwhile the driver of the ash wagon calls and removes the valuable can of waste. Pearl and her husband then pay a visit to the parlor and looking into the vase are mortified to find the money missing. They accuse the servant girl of stealing it and a fight ensues, the maid immediately quitting her job. Pearl in tears and uncle enters to find the small family in confusion. They inform him that the vase was their hiding place, and he rushes pell mell out of the room to the ash can. He finds it empty and he begins to realize that his ruse of replacing the vase was not so easy as contemplated. While the backs of Pearl and her husband are turned he deposits $400 into the vase and taking it down shows them the money, telling them it was there all the time and that they had overlooked it, but all the time he is kicking himself at being the goat.
