And then suppose you coldly decided to trail this man and followed him to the depot. There you should see a typical village dandy also showing a picture of your wife to his friends and telling them that he was going to the city to see her. Jones was frantic. He decided on a cold heartless revenge. He followed them. He bought rope, plenty of it, he imprisoned them, tied them in chairs, when they called at the house. He flourished a gun in their faces and told them he was going to kill them when his wife returned from downtown. She returned. Murder was about to be committed when Belinda, the hired girl, ran into the room and saved three lives. Belinda was an old maid. Belinda advertised. A traveling man and a village dandy answered the ads and sent photos. Belinda was intoxicated with joy. She was afraid to send her own picture for fear they would quit writing, so she sent pictures of her mistress and this is what caused the trouble. Jones and his wife saw the ludicrous side and were reconciled. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
