To be sure he has had to mortgage the store a couple of times to raise the money to do this, but his son knows nothing of these mortgages. When the boy returns from college, John Chester hopes to have him as his partner in business, but the son prefers the law and goes to the city to make his mark in the world. One fine day the mortgages fall due and old Chester has no money to meet them; the place must be sold. Saddened and discouraged the old man and his faithful wife watch the sheriff begin the sale. But there has been another man at work; an old friend of the family has telegraphed to this boy telling him of his father's plight, and the son, only too glad to return his father's beneficence, hastens to the scene of the sale and, unknown to all but a few, buys in the store and in a lovely loving scene returns the property free and clear to his dad.
