His son, however, had achieved wealth and had married a girl of position. The son tried to induce his father to leave his place and come with him to his hotel. The father finally consented, but the first morning slipped out of the hotel and took out his regular run. In order to make sure of getting his father away from his car the son asked the superintendent of the line to dismiss him. That official acquiesced. The old man was brokenhearted. His comrades joined him in an appeal for reinstatement, which was granted. On the conductor's first trip out the car stopped to take passengers aboard. The conductor saw his son and with him the woman he blamed for his troubles. He gave two bells, and the car went ahead without them. The conductor called back a polite invitation to take the next car, which meant that, in approved fashion, he had cut off his son. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
