The incidents of her life pass in visions before her. She recalls her home-coming as a bride, the happy years with her husband and growing children. The first great sorrow, the death of her only daughter, is lived over again. Then she sees her favorite son, Jack, leaving home to satisfy his longing for adventure. The call to arms takes husband and elder boy from her, the former never to return. Sam marries Sylvia Lee and goes away to build up a fortune in the city. Recently, she has visited him and his beautiful young wife. Sam has urged her to come and live with them, but the old lady has decided that their household, after all, never can be home to her. So she finds herself back now in her own cottage, peopled with precious memories. As she sits, alone, brooding over the past, she hears steps on the stairs. A tall figure crosses the dusky attic room in two strides, and clasps the old lady in his arms. It is Jack, the adventurer, home from sea. Then, over the old high chair, mother and son exchange laughter, tears and kisses. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
