One day he is chosen by fate to be the medium of communication between Hubert Holworthy and Miss Wetmore, two lovers who have quarreled. As Red secretly reads the lovers' letters, he is aware that only false pride keeps them apart. His sympathies are aroused and he decides to be the mediator. So he lies to Holworthy and tells him that Miss Wetmore has sent for him to come to her at once. Holworthy joyfully hastens to her. Red satisfied that he has done his duty is on his way back to the office when he is waylaid and injured seriously by a big bully of a boy with whom he had previously fought. Red does not recover consciousness until revived by the doctor in the hospital. He then asks that Holworthy and Miss Wetmore be sent for. Of course, Holworthy receives a cold reception when he, uninvited, calls on Miss Wetmore, and the breach between them is growing wider, but just then Miss Wetmore gets a message over the phone saying the boy had been badly injured. They have a mutual interest in the boy who has been so sympathetic and hasten to the hospital. When they arrive Miss Wetmore is easily persuaded by Red to let Holworthy replace the ring on her finger. Red is joyful that his efforts as mediator have not been in vain, but the excitement has been too much, and he falls back on his pillow, exhausted. The doctor looks very grave, then covers the boy's face with the sheet. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
