At this opportune or rather inopportune moment, Tom Horton casually renews Mary's acquaintance. Horton had been Mary's girlish ideal previous to his departure to South America and her marriage to Jack. Mary, in this frame of mind, is ready to listen to Horton' s promises of happiness with him, and is willing to take this radical step. Pauline, her little girl, seeing her mother packing up, and concluding that they are going visiting, packs her little satchel and waits in the parlor until her mother appears preparatory to leaving with Horton. The sight of the child brings Mary to her senses and the elopement is abandoned. Jack learns the truth and makes the earnest manly promise to reform. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
