His father, a plain man, is content with an ordinary school education for him and puts him at work despite the school principal's protests. The principal even offers the father an opening by which his son could work during the day and attend school at night throughout a season. Consequently the boy's natural bent towards mechanics is frustrated and he is forced into drudgery which disheartens him, but as he grows older he doesn't lose sight of the man he might have been and the things he might have done. But he travels the wrong road and goes from hopelessness to recklessness, reaping the reward of the latter in an unhappy marriage instead of winning the sweet girl he had loved as a boy.
