The ...See moreLessington invests all his money, against his wife's opinion, in a business deal which he thinks will be to their benefit. Just as the deal is consummated, he meets with a severe accident, thereby rendering his lower limbs lifeless. The doctors advise his wife that he must be kept in a perfectly quiet place. Then she is apprehended of his total failure. But as his mind must be clear of all encumbrances, she keeps it to herself, and starts out to look for employment, through which to earn enough money to keep him in solitude. Owing to her good voice, she obtains a position as singer. Her husband, however, thinks that she is growing unfaithful to him, because she is going out every night. Thus it happens that he is left alone one night when there is a wind which blows the curtain against the lamp and overturns it in his room. He sees the carpet and curtain catch fire. His cries for help of course meet with no response, and as the room is filled with smoke and the blaze creeps upward, he offers up a prayer, and making an effort with his arms, throws himself to the edge of the bed and drops to the floor. And then the prayer is answered and he finds himself possessed with strength in his lower limbs. He arises to his feet and attacks the fire with pillows, beating it out. Then the wife comes in, her transient joy at his apparent recovery is turned to sorrow as he turns upon her and denounces her for leaving him to such a fate. She runs from the room into the bare old drawing room and sinks upon her packing case there beside the rude wooden table where she keeps her papers. He follows, and, discovering that the whole house is bare, demands an explanation. It is needless to say that when the explanation is made it dawns upon him how deep and true is her love, as she has not only kept him from harm but from the knowledge of his own trouble. He is filled with remorse and begs forgiveness from the woman he has wronged. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
