She returns his love. They are married. He takes his young wife home and there she makes the acquaintance of Alan Brunton, the broker's son. The acquaintance ripens into a fast friendship. The father, conscious of his son's youth and fine looks, becomes jealous. It grows upon him and he suffers in silence. One night the son, through no fault of his own, is drawn into a café brawl. The affair gets into the papers. The result of this is that his father, already a victim of jealousy, forbids him the house. The boy convinces his stepmother of his innocence in the affair, but his father's ears are closed against him. Mary, Alan's sweetheart, reads of the affair and is convinced that Alan is blameless. Her father, however, insists that she break with him. Alan, with apartments down town, writes his stepmother, appealing for her good offices to the end of inducing Mary to elope with him. His stepmother consents and arranges for the elopement. Her husband, however, finds a portion of Alan's note. The fragment of the original note makes it appear that his son intends eloping with his stepmother. His jealousy is confirmed. He goes to Alan's apartments and demands his wife. Alan leads her from her hiding place, and then, to his father's astonishment, produces Mary, his wife by not more than ten minutes. The house of discord becomes a house of harmony.
