Driven to desperation on rent day, she summons all her courage and goes to the store's proprietor and asks for a substantial wage, but her pleas meet with stern refusal. Haunted by the stricken look in the girl's eyes, the proprietor's daughter Kathryn Dolby, who has been listening, determines to investigate conditions by becoming one of the salesgirls. Unknown to her father she obtains such a position in his store. On the afternoon following the unsuccessful interview with the proprietor, Mary, exhausted by the grind, faints as she is leaving the store. She is caught by a nice young man who, after accompanying her home, pays the insistent rent collector what is due him. Several days later, owing to the increasing rush of customers, Mary again faints from exhaustion, and after a stormy scene with her father, Kathryn takes the weakened woman to her squalid home, where she learns of the discovery of a note from her brother Jack, urging the woman to accept the money. Misunderstanding the note, Kathryn takes it to her father, upon whom dawns the true state of things. Through parsimony he has made himself a virtual instigator of his son's evil intentions. Whereupon an immediate raise of wages is given all employees. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
