A young salesman in a dry goods house often heard this statement made, but laughed it to scorn. His wife was devoted to him and to their little daughter, and as far as jealousy was concerned, why, she was incapable of so base an impulse. His opinion was put to the test. The head of his firm detailed him to entertain a lady buyer from an out-of-town concern. He took the customer to the theater, and to dinner at a high-priced restaurant. His wife happened to see him with the woman, at once arrived at the wrong conclusion, and was jealous. When the salesman arrived home there was a quarrel. The wife would listen to no explanations, the husband was hotheaded, and the result was that he took his belongings and left his home at once. The wife was well provided for, and she had the companionship of her child. The husband had a comfortable boarding place. But they were both unhappy, for they really cared for each other, and pride alone prevented them from making up their differences. Then fate took a hand in the problem. The wife called upon a neighbor in an adjoining flat, and during her absence her little daughter turned the valve in the gas log. The door leading to the flat snapped shut when the mother crossed the hall and she had forgotten her key. When she discovered her child's peril she called frantically for help, and the appeal was answered by her husband. Exerting all his strength he smashed the door from its hinges and rushed into the flat just in time to save his child's life. The child's peril proved to be a blessing in disguise for it was the means of bringing the little family together again. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
