This causes a separation between the couple, and a provision in the legal instrument calls for the abode of their child to be six months with the mother and the other six months of the year with the father. After living six months with her mother, Grace, the little girl, is glad to get away, for she has been out mostly every night and has not given her any care. But the child soon learns that her father is living the same life, and when she is taken suddenly ill and father and mother meet at the bedside, she sends them both away because they have not treated her right. She likes her paralytic grandfather. The parents, who have been outside, are attracted to the room by a loud groan from the old man and in the presence of her parents, grandfather and nurse, the little girl passes away. Through the invisible power coming from the old man's eye, father and mother, realizing that they have done wrong, are reunited. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
