The old people are greatly upset when the man refuses the proposed match, and his father on seeing him in company with the gypsy, sends him from his home. The man marries the woman of his choice, though the alliance is not a very prosperous one, for we see them two years later tramping along the road near the man's home, and evidently in the stage of destitution. The wife goes to the house of her husband's father and they give her food. Left alone to sleep by the kitchen fire, she admits her husband. The old man, hearing the two, goes down, thinking the woman is the decoy of thieves. He is about to fire at the stranger when his daughter-in-law rushes forward and knocks up the gun. The father takes pity on the pair, and overlooks his son's disobedience. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
