She doesn't look as though she needed one, but most of the men fall for her plea and contribute. Seeing her continue the collection for some time and getting together and comparing notes, they decide that she is a swindler. They seek the constable to have her arrested, but as Alice has passed the constable many times and given him very sweet smiles in her good-humored way the constable argues the question with them. At length he is persuaded that it is his duty to carry out the law. The constable and the angry crowd come upon the widow just as she is coming from the express office. She has a large box in her arms and they are all anxious to know what it contains. Upon the officer's demand for an explanation of affairs, she leads the crowd to the poorer quarter of the town to a dilapidated dwelling and there sitting on the steps is a poor man with only one leg. This is the man that she was taking up the collection for. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
