At last, in despair, she carries the child to the barn and puts her to sleep in the warm hay. Then the loudly-shouted wants of her husband compel her to return to the house. A farm hand, who secretly loves the young wife, finds the baby in the hay. Incensed at its apparent neglect he takes it home to his own shack and cares for it. At the conclusion of the debauch, the husband stumbles out into the barn and falling into a drunken stupor, lets his pipe fall into the dry hay. The barn is burning furiously when the wife awakes. Beside herself for the safety of her child, she barely is rescued from plunging into the flames by the farm hand, who has rushed to the rescue. He assures her that the little one is safe in his shack, and later they find that the husband has been burned to death. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
