Hattie's father, in his younger days, had been a poor but honest farmer. His failure to raise crops of corn wheat and induced him to emigrate to the Great City, where he invented a wonderful hair tonic. He amassed a large fortune, died and left everything to his only child, Hattie. All the village beaus of Jinx Junction were anxious to impress the heiress. Among her suitors was a kind-hearted keeper of a garage who never overcharged any one, and always gave credit to strangers. Another aspirant for her hand was the owner of an ice cream parlor, noted throughout Creosote County for the unusual delicacies he served. The ice cream man thought at first that he had the inside track, but later he suspected that there was a rival. His suspicions centered upon the garage keeper, for his hair was growing wonderfully and the ice cream man thought that the tonic he used had been a gift from the heiress. He found that his belief was unjustified, for from outside the window of the heiress he saw her refuse to wed the garage keeper. In his opinion not only was opposition removed, but his own position was strengthened for he had used the hair tonic with surprising results, yet to his grief the girl refused him, and he learned there was "another," and the girl showed his rival's photograph. The ice cream man glanced at the picture and snorted his disgust. "Cannot imagine what you see in him," he ejaculated. "He isn't beautiful, and he's horribly bald-headed." "I know he is almost bald-headed," she replied. "Ever since we met and fell in love I have been trying to make him grow a head of hair like those that figure in papa's advertisements. Up to date my efforts have failed, but I will devote my life to this sacred cause." And she smiled sweetly at the photograph, forgetting all about the other man. For, despite his luxuriant hair, her heart was as cold to him as one of his own ice cream freezers. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
