At the last moment a message comes from his friend, Lieutenant Hambleton. who Is In India, say- ing that he has- inherited a fortune of $150,000 n year, and that he will relieve the master of Arundel of his liabilities. In order to keep tbe authorities, who Include two Jewish money lenders, quiet, it Is neces- sary for some due to Impersonate Hamble- ton until his arrival. The broker's man Is pressed into service and the fun ot the piece commences When the, man appears as Hambleton, accompanied by two bogus In- dian servants. The fuu reaches Its climax when, In order to make good his escape, the broker's man, disguised as a sort ot Charley's Aunt,- encounters his Wife and four children.
