Riches are necessary to maintain a proper standing in this club, but an applicant must also prove to the membership committee that his family tree is sufficiently illustrious. The day had been unusually tedious, and an unconventional member, desiring diversion, suggested to his companions that they ask the elderly servant who waited upon them to tell them a story. It had never been done in the club before. After considerable urging the waiter, explaining that he could tell only the story of his own life, began the narration. The old servant explained that he had formerly been a storekeeper in a little country town. His wife was dead, and all his love was centered upon his young daughter. His elderly clerk desired to marry the girl, but her father gently refused him. Unknown to the storekeeper, a wealthy young man had been paying attentions to the girl. The rich man won the girl's affections and they eloped. Fearing the worst, he rushed out in search of her, and when he returned his. suspicions were confirmed, for his clerk handed him a letter from a rich man saying that he was married and could not wed the girl, but would provide a home for her abroad. The heart-broken father sold his store to his clerk and set out to search the world to find his daughter and to avenge her, but so far, though he had wandered from city to city, and from country to country, his search had been in vain. The servant finished his story, and as he was leaving the room a stranger to the club appeared in the doorway. The old man, recognizing the stranger, was about to shoot him, when the club members interfered. From the contemptuous look on the faces of the men, the stranger knew how he was regarded, and told all to come to his hotel, where he will explain. All complied with the request. The stranger's wife turned out to be the old waiter's daughter, who married her sweetheart at the time of their elopement. The rich man had never been married before; the letter purporting to have been written by him had really been forged by the storekeeper's jealous clerk, who had lied to bring sorrow to the old man who refused the hand of his daughter, and the girl that he had once loved but now hated. Conscience had troubled him, and had led him to write to the girl's husband and confess. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
