He is taken ill and unable to make his regular visit to Mary, writing a letter to the Mother Superior, telling her that although he is very ill she must under no circumstances allow Mary to come and see him, as she has never been in a City and may get lost. Mary is so anxious about her father that she runs away from the convent to go in search of her father. She is rescued from a gang of toughs by Detective Callahan, who takes her to the address given her by her father and is much surprised to find that he is a saloon keeper and living in the rear of his saloon. Although Kelly is angry at his daughter for finding him, he makes the best of it and decides to keep her at home. He rents a better house and establishes Mary in her new home with a housekeeper. The wagon thieves have become more bold, and Callahan is close on their track. He calls on Mary and finds a bolt of silk that has been recently stolen. Mary tells him a friend of her father's has sold it to them. The police, headed by Callahan, make a raid on the Thieves' rendezvous, Callahan corners a man in the cellar and is surprised to find that his man is Kelly. Kelly does not kill Callahan because he knows his daughter loves him, so he handcuffs him, throws him on the floor and makes his escape. Callahan is taken to the hospital while Kelly makes his escape, leaving a note for Mary telling her he has been called away on business. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
