He sees his austere father denounce the girl and tear her picture from the family album and erase her name from under it. Aroused from his day dreams, he happens to see the face of his "lost sister" at the window, for a moment. Stepping outside, he finds and speaks to the girl, but she refuses his hospitality, not wishing his wife to know she had disgraced his family. Hugh finally succeeds in introducing her to his household as his new Secretary. Gradually, an uneasy feeling of jealousy grows on Gladys, and she makes it unpleasant for Jessie. The girl soon realizes this and announces to Hugh her intention of leaving. He goes to her room and tries to dissuade her. Hearing voices, Gladys looks in and sees her husband's arms around Jessie's shoulders. Overcome at what she believes to be his perfidy, she staggers back to her room, where she falls prostrate. On regaining consciousness, it is found a paralytic stroke has rendered her incapable of speech or movement. Jessie, caring for her, is greatly puzzled at the strange look of accusation and hatred in the woman's eyes. One day, during a terrific thunderstorm, a lightning bolt strikes the house, and the shock performs an apparent miracle. Gladys regains the use of her limbs, and can talk again. In an equally marvelous manner through the innocence of her child, she finds a note explaining the circumstances surrounding Jessie's presence there. When Hugh returns from church, he finds that the hand of God has indeed been at work. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
