One of them wins and is betrothed to the girl, but a turn of fortune takes him to another job in a distant lumber camp where he meets with an accident which destroys his memory. The girl waits for him faithfully until she is convinced that he is dead and then marries the other suitor. Several years later the first man suddenly recovers his memory, comes back to claim the girl. She in the meantime has settled down to domestic life and has a little girl four or five years of age but the return of the man to whom she was betrothed in former years, naturally revives her love for him and after a great struggle with herself she finally resolves to run away from her husband. The climax of the story takes place when her husband acknowledges the rights of the former lover and gives up the wife. As she is about to leave, the little child toddles in and the theme of the play at once becomes apparent, namely, that mother love is "The Strongest Tie" after all. Written by
