He played cards better than he did anything else, and he played a square game, content to enjoy only the advantage that came with his expertness. He strikes out for new fields and comes upon Joe Dakin's little girl, a tiny tot, who wins his instant regard. In response to his request she brings him a drink of water, and when he finds that she is fascinated by the tiny elephant on his watch guard he slips it off and makes her a present of it. Her father is a miner, but the lust of gaming is in his blood and he wastes his time at the saloon where there is a game always in progress. The gambler takes Jim's seat when he drops from the game, his funds exhausted, but presently Jim reappears, for he has taken the charm and offers this as his stake. Kenyon recognizes the charm and accuses Joe of having stolen it, not knowing that the child is his. There is an altercation in which Joe is wounded, and the gambler's distress is very genuine when he discovers the identity of the man. He goes to the house, where he meets a cold reception, but Joe takes the blame and the mother smilingly permits Kenyon to restore the charm to the little girl, giving him in exchange the baby's locket for luck. Joe braces up and so good luck went with the gambler's charm after all. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
