She is working at a store where she receives a bonus for extra work and with this and her savings plans to send the sick sister away. That night a tramp sees her hide the money and breaks in and steals it. The girls are now in dire straits, as the well sister loses her position. A young policeman is attracted to her and aims to help her by loaning her money, but his method of offering it angers her and she refuses to accept it. He leaves her deeply offended. The man Jane works for has insulted her and she has lost her position on that account. Seeing her sister growing steadily worse all the time, she writes him that she will reconsider his proposition and comes back to work for him. The sick sister reads the letter and rather than have her sister make such a sacrifice even to save her life, she attempts to end both their lives by gas. The policeman repents of his hasty anger and returns in time to save them both and send the sister out west, where she can regain her health. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
