Sonny trudges forth. He falls by the wayside. Mr. and Mrs. Chatterton dash by in their auto with their little daughter, carry him home, where he is placed in Clara's beautiful room, still fast asleep. The imaginative little fellow, who has never known the love and kindness for which he craves, dreams a most beautiful dream, in which he goes to the Court of Prince Make Believe to ask the King to restore his health and fortune. The King tells Sonny to find the Spring of Love. The little fellow starts off and comes at last to Taffy Inn to ask about the Spring of Love. He is told Master Pence, the miser, owns the Spring of Love, and he again starts off. After a long and weary search Sonny falls exhausted on the road and is picked up by the miser's pretty little daughter, Pansy. She carries him back to her father's house, where he is placed in bed. Duke Big-Ears, a villainous servitor at the Court of Prince Make Believe, now enters and demands that Pansy give him food, although his real purpose is to steal the miser's money. Watching his opportunity, he follows the miser to the Spring of Love and shoots him. He then comes to the house and demands a drink of water. The water turns to ink and poisons the villainous duke. Wondering why her father does not return, Pansy and Sonny go forth to seek him and find him lying on the bank of the Spring of Love with his gold clasped in his arm. Saddened at the miser's death, Sonny and Pansy gather all the gold and make their way to the Court of Prince Make Believe. The little fellow has had his health restored by the Spring of Love and his fortune made. He is crowned a Prince and Pansy becomes his Princess. At this moment Sonny wakes up and finds himself gazing into the kindly fares of Mr. and Mrs. Chatterton and little Clara, who has played the part of Pansy throughout his dream. Written by
