Charles, like other country boys, by undivided effort and persistent application, made his way to the top. He married a woman of high position and had children, a son and a daughter. The daughter inherits her mother's snobbish characteristics, but the son is a democrat. Kingley's mother, a good, old, homely lady, not having seen her son for a number of years, decides to surprise him with a visit. She arrives just when the family is making elaborate preparations to receive the governor. Naturally, the snobbish mother and daughter make the old lady's welcome an unpleasant one. They don't know what to do with her until something occurs in the kitchen. Young Mrs Kingsley then has her mother-in-law attend to the preparation of the dinner. The old lady is only too happy to be of service and joyfully undertakes the work of the cook. When Kingsley, Jr., however, comes home and learns that his grandmother is doing the drudgework, he goes down there and sticks by her side, and in his soiled shirt and dress suit, assists her at her labors, He appoints himself her entertainer and does nobly. The old lady, not long afterwards, dies and leaves young Kingsley her large painted portrait. Soon after when Kingsley is in difficulties, he imagines he sees the spirit of his old grandmother and she seems to point to the portrait of herself. Several times this occurs and in order to satisfy her spirit, he goes to the portrait, takes the picture out of the frame, and to his delight, finds an envelope containing a good deal of money.
