A man acquires an hourglass which can send him into the future. He asks a pedestrian what year it is and the man replies '71. He assumes 1971 and learns of deposits in the land which make men wealthy and so uses the hourglass to return to the past again and spends all his money buying up the land. He goes into the future again to check his account at the bank and the clerk tells him he is not listed. When he mentions the year the clerk tells him that it is 2071. The man returns to the past and tries to sell off the land, but the previous sellers refuse to buy it back.
