“See a pin and pick it up, and all the day you’ll have good luck,” says the faithful Belinda as she finds one on the doorstep. Just then a good-looking young man comes along, looking for a boarding place. He makes arrangements with Ophelia, Belinda’s mistress, and she shows him to his room. Ophelia falls in love at first sight of the stranger, and confides in Belinda. A policeman, who is “walking out” with the cook, finds a fortune-teller’s card on the sidewalk on his way to visit her. While the cook is giving him a feed, Belinda comes in, and, after flirting with the policeman a little on her own account, she gets the card, which she takes to her mistress. Miss Ophelia decides to go to the fortuneteller. Madam Miriam, and takes Belinda with her, Madame Miriam tells Ophelia that a blonde young man will fall in love with her. Both Ophelia and Belinda think the young man must be the new boarder. Sidney, the boarder, finds that he has not enough money to pay his board bill, and to get on the right side of Ophelia, he takes her out to an ice-cream parlor and spends his last quarter on her. While they are gone, Belinda finds a photo of Sidney’s wife in his room and sees that the wife is none other than Madam Miriam. Belinda is very much shocked. Madam Miriam sees Sidney and Ophelia on their way back to the house and she follows them in and claims her husband. Ophelia will not let him go until the board bill is paid, and calls the policeman up from the kitchen to arrest him. Madam Miriam pays the bill and bears off her husband in triumph. Belinda does her best to comfort her sorrowing mistress, thinking it is all her fault.
