They meet on the way to school and Edith presents Frank with a flower for his buttonhole, while Frank gives Edith a nice, rosy-cheeked apple. On their way to school an auto with a lady, gentleman and a small boy stop and ask Frank where the schoolhouse is. Edith is attracted to the boy and forgets all about her sweetheart, Frank. In school she makes the acquaintance of Clarence and they become good friends, while poor Frank is left out in the cold. One of the big boys in school carelessly drops a lighted cigarette in the cloakroom of the schoolhouse and a fire is started. When the teacher discovers it he tells the children to jump out of the windows. Clarence forgets all but himself, and throws Edith and the other children aside, intent on saving his own hide. In the meantime, Frank, who has been playing hooky, sees the fire in the distance and rushes to the schoolhouse, where, learning that Edith is still in the burning building he runs in despite the flame and smoke and rescues his old-time sweetheart. Needless to say, after that the original sweethearts make up, and Clarence is given the cold shoulder. Written by
