Often the warm heart, the harbor of man's affection, has become callous from contact with gold, and as metallic as the lustrous metal itself, The sons of Adam, the daughters of Eve, are frail and fickle, their emotions more or less futile. And often it comes to pass that one who is a mother's daughter forgets the fact because pomp and pride and the lure of the yellow trail have obliterated all other memories. Only on who has not tasted of the wealth of the world and it sordid emptiness can never forget her who bore that one. A humble farmer is the father of two daughters. The favorite is to be married to a rich young man, but the other is engaged to a simple farmer boy. After marriage they become estranged, and their lives run in entirely different channels. The simple, narrow path and the gilded trail diverge, and the twain seldom meet. The mother is taken ill, the illness develops into a serious phase of scarlet fever. The grim visage of death haunts the sick-chamber, and contemplating her end, the mother sends for the rich and favorite daughter. She arrives in her automobile, and finding the ominous scarlet fever sign on the door, refuses to enter. On its return trip, the auto breaks down in front of the poor sister's farmhouse, and they are obliged to enter the home. They are treated kindly and courteously, and shown every hospitality. During the conversation ensuing, the letter from the mother is shown, and the poor girl, frantic with anxiety, rushes to the home of her mother and nurses the invalid until she becomes well. The contrast of their behavior strikes home to the palsied heart of the disdainful, haughty daughter, and she repents the folly of her mistaken course. There is a reconciliation, a few smiles, a few tears, and contentment. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
