- StarsHerbert PriorMabel TrunnelleAugustus PhillipsWhen young Jean Germaine's father decreed that his son should not marry Lizette Rouget, unless the girl brought with her the sum of ten thousand francs. Jean, bowing to the inherited custom of generations, would as soon have thought of flying to the moon as of disobeying the parental command, Lizette was somewhat downcast when she learned the size of the required dowry, but soon brightened up and assured Jean that she would surely have it within a year, as a result of her clever embroidery work. But the end of the year found poor Lizette in a sorrowful state. Only a fifth of the required sum had been earned and Monsieur Germaine was beginning to grow insistent that his son should choose another bride. At her wits' end, Lizette readily accepted the offer of her brother, Paul, to increase the money to the proper amount by means of a certain investment. Unknown to his sister, Paul was an habitué of the gambling dens of Paris. With his sister's money in his charge, he betook himself to a somewhat shady resort, where, owing to a streak of exceptional luck, he succeeded in winning the required stake within half an hour. But although winning the money was easy, taking it away was attended with serious difficulties. The proprietor of the den was distinctly unwilling to have so much money taken away. Paul escaped after a scuffle, only to be held up on the street and stabbed. Desperately wounded, he took refuge in an inn, staggering up to a room, and died after he had concealed the money in a crevice in the floor. From that date, Paul's ghost kept watch in the room and faithfully guarded the money from unworthy hands. Soon the room acquired the evil reputation of being haunted, and was shunned by all. Poor Lizette's hopes expired with the disappearance of her fortune, and nothing was left for her to look forward to but a life of poverty and despair. One day an Englishman came to the den, and, laughing at the landlord's explanation, engaged the room. The ghost recognized an honest man. Under its mysterious influence the Englishman found the money and the paper with Lizette's address upon it. Still under the ghost's guidance, he carried the money to Lizette and changed her sad despair to hopeful joy.

- DirectorAlice GuyStarsBlanche CornwallMace GreenleafLee BeggsFrank Watson was spending a month in New York when one day he receives a letter from his father requesting him to come home and also that a surprise awaits him on his return. This aroused Frank's curiosity, so immediately he made preparations to leave at once. One arriving home he went at once to the drawing room and there to his surprise he saw a very attractive girl sitting by the fire-place seeming to be perfectly at home with her surroundings. Frank coughs. The girl turns around and then nods to him but leaves the room at once. Just then his mother and father come in and greet him. At once Frank begins to question them about the girl. For an answer Frank's father walks to the desk and brings Frank a letter. There he learns that this girl is the daughter of his father's best friend who has just died and has made his father guardian. The girl's name is Peggy and she has been left a large fortune. Frank does not approve of this and begins to offer his objections. At the same time Peggy is seen coming down the stairs at the back of the room and accidentally overhears what Frank is saying. She then comes into the room and they are introduced. Six months later we find Frank in bad company. He has started gambling and has hard times settling all his debts. At present he owes $500 to a very miserly Jew who has Frank's promissory note to pay in a week's time. Poor Frank is almost a nervous wreck, for he has no means by which he can lift this debt. The day has come and we now see Frank nervously awaiting the Jew's arrival. The Jew is ushered in and at once starts business. He then learns that Frank is unable to pay and then swears that he will go to Frank's father for payment. Frank pleads not to tell his father. The Jew looks around the room in order to find some plan with which to force Frank to pay. Suddenly he notices a small safe in the desk marked EMERGENCY SAFE. He calls Frank's attention to it. After much arguing the Jew has persuaded Frank to get his payment from this safe with the hope of winning it back and then replace the money before the father finds it out. Frank takes the money, gets a receipt from the Jew and orders him out. Frank leaves the room at once. Suddenly we see Peggy getting up out of the large chair by the fireplace. She has accidentally overheard all that has passed between them without their knowledge and she realizes Frank's position at once. She decides to help Frank out of his trouble and starts to think of a plan. Later we see her coming into the drawing room all ready for a journey, carrying a suitcase in her hand. She puts a letter on the table for Frank's father and then leaves the house. The girl makes a splendid sacrifice to save Frank and later, in an impressive scene Frank admits his guilt and asks for forgiveness of the girl he has grown to love.

- DirectorEdward WarrenStarsDarwin KarrMagda FoyWilliam LevertonHerbert Moore leads a gang of crooks by a sheer force of mentality, while his pal Burley Butts leads by brutal force. Between them they plan to rob noted philanthropist Mr. Stanhope, on whom Moore has been spying. For their ill purposes they use little Oliver, one of Butts' unwilling pupils. On a dark night they embark on their venture. Gripping events ensue in rapid succession: Oliver enters the house. He makes his way, with a bulls-eye lantern; here we have a remarkable light effect, a sudden flash, the lights go up, and little Oliver faces the muzzle of a revolver. Mr. Stanhope is surprised to see the youthful criminal. He quizzes him. But little Oliver cries and tells his story. Stanhope is moved by the boy's tale. In taking out his handkerchief to dry his eyes, Oliver drops a silver half-dollar. Mr. Stanhope attempts to return it to Oliver, who brushes it away and tells him to keep it, informing him that the silver half-dollar is the gang's insignia and it can open in the middle and be used in an emergency as a saw for cutting rope, wire, or glass. Stanhope's interest is aroused, and he places the little souvenir in his pocket. Later this piece of metal is one of the means of saving his life. Oliver then pleads to be let free, and Stanhope allows him to go, after taking an oath that he will not attempt to steal again. This attempt failing, the gang sets a trap for Stanhope, but little Oliver passes a note and key to his benefactor when the thugs lower him into a vault. When Stanhope finds himself in the narrow vault, he struggles hard to free himself from the bonds which almost cut to the bones. He frees himself sufficiently to get the silver half-dollar, which he now puts to good use. After hours of effort he breaks his bonds. He tries to straighten himself and then finds the heavy key and the note in his coat pocket. He is scarcely able to read the instructions. The greenish light gives him the appearance of a man risen from the dead. Gradually his dulled mind absorbs the portent of the note. He desperately feels for the secret keyhole. His search is not in vain. Presently, he swings back the granite door and he is confronted with a vista of the city's filth and slime. He crawls through the outlet and makes his way through the sewer channels. The stench from stagnant sewerage pools, cesspool waste, mud and dirt, nearly suffocates him. But on and on he struggles, up to his knees through this liquid filth. Even an attack by a horde of sewer rats does not swerve him from his path. He fights the rodents off and they scamper. At last, weary and exhausted, he finds his way to the sewerage main, a ladder leading to a manhole giving entrance to the street. Bespattered with mud and filth, disheveled and bedraggled, he rushes through the streets and to the police station. The gang is soon surprised by big Colt six-shooters and little Oliver and his brother find a home in Mr. Stanhope's happy household.
- DirectorEdwin S. PorterPhillips SmalleyLois WeberStarsPhillips SmalleyLois WeberPretty Ann, and Joe, the hostler, one day chance to meet. Strong is Joe, and simple, and Ann is shy and sweet. As man and maid have done before, they love, and marry, too. And live happy ever after? Ah, this tale is new to you! Yes, the tale is drear, prosaic; and so poetry won't do. A baby boy comes to bless the union. Joe is working in the stables when they tell him of his joy: his heart is gay and happy, and he tells the horses so. Then, it might be the angels were jealous of such mortal happiness; it might be the devil, seeing the stage so set, entered to play the leading role. The tempter comes to the woman. He is a gentleman, suave, polished, charming, a man of manners; and Ann, knowing not the manners of men, hears and heeds and falls as the angels fall from heaven, another Eve heeding the serpent's call, facing a morn of desired delight, and the twilight of despair. One night Joe comes home with a happy cry of "Wife!" But the only answer is the whisper of desolation, the ghostly voice of ghastly vice! He reads the note she left him, and, Joe don't know much about God, excepting what he feels, don't know much about anything but bosses, but he asks the Lord to pardon and protect the weak woman he loved. Like a frail blossom lacking sunshine, the motherless baby droops and dies. Joe goes his way, making no complaint, 'ceptin' what he tells his bosses, 'ceptin' what he tells his God! Far away in mighty London, the woman rises into fame. Through her lover's influence and wealth, she becomes a noted actress. Her beauty wins men's homage, and she prospers in her shame. Then the day of reckoning! Time plays no favorites: the immutable law of the years takes its course; youth flies, her beauty vanishes, her charm withers: and the pretty toy, grown useless, is flung aside, as of old. The wedded morn and roses, and the widowed night, and mourning; light and life today; dark and death tomorrow; the errand of folly, and the wage of sin, from Adam to eternity! In a far-off country town, youth and strength gone, his soul seared by the sad sorrow of woman's sin, Joe reads in a newspaper how a once-famous actress, alone and in poverty, is dying. The fickle world has forgotten her fame: the fickle worshipers of wanton beauty have forgotten her very name. But Joe has forgotten only her sin and shame; only Joe remembers; only Joe is true. He comes to her and tells her he forgives her, tells her he loves her for what might have been, for the soul he would meet again in the Far Away, in the Beyond, across the vale. Held in his arms, the eyes that had seen sin look into the cleansing tears in his, and close in death! On the stone over her grave Joe wrote one word, the honored name of "Wife." A blossom we fain would pluck today from the flowers above her dust; a blossom as pure as love that lasts, a blossom sweet as the peace and purity we hope Ann found in the Distant Land.

He, to get even, puts on her dress and hat, but when they see each other they are about to compromise and put on their own clothes, when in walks Aunt Mariah in a harem skirt cut in a very extreme style. Seeing this, Clay decides that this is the limit and forthwith goes on a drunk. His wife and aunt try to cure him by means of mental suggestion, telling him the liquor he drank has been poisoned with morphine and that he must keep dancing or he will die. The butler, coming in with a milk antidote, learns why Clay is dancing and he forthwith begins to execute the same movements, for he too has been at the decanter. The maid arrives upon the scene, and learning the reason, immediately starts to dance too. She has not been behind the others in sampling the bottle. In a like manner the wife and aunt join the party and they all dance to the telephone and call the doctor. The doctor arrives and before anybody can stop him he has sampled the beverage, and when they tell him that he is poisoned we see that he is as vigorous a dancer as any of them. Finally, after they are all worn out they find that it was a mistake arising from the efforts of Mrs. Woodruff in trying the mental suggestion cure.

- DirectorLouis J.

Max was called upon to play the lead. He was serious for once in his life, when he offered his services, and to see Max serious is really amusing. The first film for which he posed was '"Mr. Henpeck," and the rough deal he received, caused Max to forget that he was acting, and he turned suddenly upon one of his co-workers, whose duty it was to abuse him, and a rough and tumble fight ensued. The belligerents could not be parted until a stream of water was turned on them, and as soon as he could speak through anger and water, Max resigned, but reconsidered his decision later on, as his many admirers well know.

- DirectorAlice GuyStarsBlanche CornwallDarwin KarrGladden JamesA parson arrives in the midst of a bunch of wild cowboys. Expecting a male parson, the boys set out in full force to receive him, but on the road when they suddenly run into the one-horse shay of a female parson, they keel over in surprise. Right after her arrival the boys begin to lay plans to get in right, while the parson loses no time in starting a campaign for the defeat of Satan. She begins by posting a sign near the town horse trough to the effect that "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." Of course the boys see the sign and immediately there is a sudden disposition among them to make use of soap, water and brush. One cowboy in particular is very much in love with the parson. He shows his affection only too plainly, and so the boys decide to play a trick on him. Their practical joke unintentionally is not only the means of frustrating a plot against the parson, but it brings the parson and her lover together.
