He is seen by Bushnell, the mine boss, who lectures him severely. At noontime Mrs. Benson brings Joe's dinner. Starting home she is called into Bushnell's office, and the scoundrel attempts to force his love upon her. Looking through the window, Benson discovers the situation, butts in, knocks Bushnell down and takes his wife home. A few days later Mrs. Benson calls on Bushnell and begs him to put Benson back to work. Bushnell agrees to do so if she will leave her husband. Desiring to get Benson away from the mine, Bushnell has one of his men attempt to intoxicate him. An hour later Bushnell leaves a note at Benson's home, advising Mrs. Benson he will await her answer at his office that night. Staggering into the house Benson finds the note, secures his revolver, goes to Bushnell's office with the intention of killing him, only to find the mine boss dead on the floor from a stroke of apoplexy. Seeing that providence has stayed his hand, Benson returns home and joins his wife and little one in a prayer of thanksgiving. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
