He works for weeks upon a mechanical device, his efforts being jeered at by the town gossips. Mildred Van Dyke, the daughter of a rich manufacturer, drives her machine in front of the shop one day for repairs. The son looks after her as she speeds away, her handkerchief is seen to fall. John picks it up. That evening he incidentally meets the Van Dykes, stops the machine and returns the handkerchief. Mr. Van Dyke becomes interested in the invention and asks John to visit him. A bargain is struck, a new firm organized. The prospects of fortune win the daughter, the papers announce the wedding, the country sweetheart is forgotten. Years later John finds his mistake. The wife tires of him. He is divorced and returns to the home of his childhood and the little country girl he left behind. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
