For many years, the youth of the town had gathered around it, etc. To Hilton, a work-a-day old bachelor in the city, this notice of a country paper brought back memories of the old crowd, mostly lost to sight, that there was an intention of reassembling, at a certain date, some good Samaritan having sent out notices for the reunion, trusting that they would find response. An invitation also comes to Constance, who has wearied of the dreary grind of teaching piano to young Americans who had neither tuneful ears nor sense of harmony, and she concludes that she will go back to the old sweet town, quiet and restful. This lady finds herself a guest of honor at Hilton's right, and they make right merry with quips and reminiscences of the good old days that are no more, the group including many who have achieved more or less fame in the battle with the big world. As the shades of evening fall, Constance quietly leaves the loquacious group and steals away to visit the "Old Battle Tree" and the carved bench under it where her initials were carved by her boyish lover in the long ago. She hears in the distance the singing of "Auld Lang Syne," then the shadow of a man deepens under the branches of the old tree. Hilton comes to see if the old carving is still intact. There he finds Constance, and they renew the troth that they made in the youthful days of long ago. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
