He remained on the farm with her while his older brother went to the city. When the brother returned with a wife who had great notions of just how things should be, who could see nothing good in the mother, it hurt Jack. And because the older son owned the farm. Jack went west to make his own fortune, and take his mother from it all. In the west he experienced hard times. And though he met a girl who he learned to love, he did not forget his mother. Time came when Jack struck it rich. The father of his sweetheart was killed. Jack took the girl in and made a partner of her. When their pile was made they married and started east, to the little farm and the boy's mother. But the mother, during that time, had been ill-treated and finally forced out of the home by the older brother's wife. When Jack got off the train at the little country station he found the mother waiting to take the train out to the poor house. Of course, he put his arms around her and with the joyous consent of his wife, he told her she should be one of them in their new home. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
