In other words that the money from the sale of stock can be much more easily gotten than the gold from the mine itself. Ashamed of himself he yet accepts the offer and after organization of the company, comes to New York. Money pours in and the business is more than prosperous though both the partners know that it is only a question time when a collapse must come. One of the employees, a stenographer, attracts the attention of young Morton, the owner of the mine, an attention which becomes fixed by her refusal to go to the theater or to ride in his automobile with him. Matters drag along until a small legacy is left to her father and believing in the genuineness of Morton's mine, she comes and offers the money for investment in the stock. It is too much for Morton and he would refuse the offer, but Blake, his partner, stepping in, accepts the check and congratulates the girl upon her good business sense. When she has gone. Morton lakes things into his own hands, demands the return of the check, and when it is not forthcoming, draws his old western six shooter from the desk drawer and in this way gains possession of the bit of paper. He returns it to the girl although he knows that this amounts to a confession that their business methods are crooked. Blake, realizing that this is a finish, gets all of the securities and money into a suitcase and tries to leave the office. The girl catches him, however, and Morton makes him give up the suitcase and retire. Then the girl expresses her confidence in Morton's innate honesty and it is announced that all the stockholders will be paid in full. She and Morton marry, go to the mine and start to work it for what it is worth. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
