He was from a different world and soon won her heart, but the young girl knew that she could not hope to gain her father's consent. Thus it was that she stole away from home one night, little dreaming of what the future held in store. Visions of happiness were shattered when she found that husband and lover held little in common. His world and hers were not the same and he would not compromise. By the fireside an old man, who found the years crowding down upon him, waited patiently for some word from his loved one. At last a messenger came to call him to his daughter's bedside, where he was given a trust: the care of his grandson. A strange fate caused the grandson to wander off at his game and to be found by his prodigal father. The slumbering spark of manhood was kindled and the father carried his son to his humble home. The same old fate took the father's life and the little one was placed amid strange playmates. As the days passed the old man could find no comfort until fate, now more kind, led him to the playground. Grandfather and grandson returned to the old fireside and, with a prayer of thanksgiving, the happy trust was renewed. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
