The father inspects the works while Doris remains in the carriage to read. Her attention is drawn to one of the workmen who is neater than the rest and who is evidently very much elated over something before him. Doris becomes interested and approaches the man. Tom, for such is his name, is very much flattered and proudly describes a new device he has just invented. But Doris fails to understand, as he draws a sketch for her. The foreman arrives and pays much attention to Doris, which she evidently dislikes. She leaves with her father. Tom shows the invention to the foreman, who says it does not amount to much, but who secretly knows it is wonderful. He sends Tom away on some errand, and copies the sketch. The foreman applies for a patent and tells Mr. Newhouse of his invention. 'The latter is pleased and helps the foreman along. The foreman meanwhile discharges Tom, who on his way from the wells meets Doris and her father in their automobile which has broken down. Doris at once recognizes him as the workman who showed her the invention and tells her father of the incident. All go back to the wells, where the foreman is faced with the truth. After a great struggle he is forced from the place and Tom comes into his own. And all this time Doris looks upon Tom with favor. She is the last to congratulate him, but not the least, for her hand lingers and her eyes speak volumes. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
