He leaves with his mother's blessings. Five years later, Donald is a physician with a successful practice in New York City. One of his patients has grown very fond of him; at the same time the young physician has grown fond of this gentleman's daughter, and is engaged to be married to her. His mother resolves to pay him an unexpected visit and arrives at his home just as he is thinking of her, and the meeting is a touching one. Donald induces his mother to take a small cottage in the country, as he is afraid that his intended will not like his plain mother. After everybody has retired, Mrs. Gray packs her valise and wanders about from place to place; exhausted and sick, she is taken to the hospital. Donald, discovering his mother's absence, telephones everywhere to learn what has become of her, without avail. He receives a message from a Doctor Chase, asking him to consult him on a very trying case. Doctor Tray hastens to assist his friend, and at the hospital discovers his dear old mother lying on the cot next to the one occupied by the young girl. It is not long before she is back in his house again, under his tender loving care. Helen, Donald's fiancée, calls to meet her future mother-in-law, and when the young girl looks at his mother, and she looks at his intended wife, there is an expression of mutual approval, sympathy and love. The sweet and kind old soul of the mother beams with a smile as she lays her hands tenderly on the heads of her children. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
