Because John does not have enough money to marry, however, Nell encourages him to go to New York, where he becomes a successful antique salesman for Jellaby and Co. Steve Ratling, a vindictive discharged salesman, convinces John to gamble the $300 he took in on a large sale, because he didn't get a deserved raise. After John loses the money, he disappears, leaving a note to Jellaby saying that his pocket was picked, but that he will repay the money. When detectives visit Nell, she goes to New York, works for Jellaby, and searches for John at soda fountains throughout the city. After she catches stenographer Nan Powderly opening a letter from John with $20 enclosed, Nell traces him. Although she is disappointed to learn that he lost the money gambling, after John confesses, both Nell and Jellaby give him another chance. Written by Pamela Short See less
