Fate leads him to an inn where he loses all to a gambler. The gambler's wife pities him and learns his story. She is horrified to recognize in him her own son, whom she left in care of the monks so that he might never know his unworthy father. While attempting to return his money, she is discovered by her husband, and in the ensuing struggle she accidentally kills him. The boy, still ignorant of his mother's twofold sacrifice, returns to the mission, and she finds peace at last in a cloister. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
