She preferred the former, and the disappointed lover, swayed by jealous rage, vowed to be revenged upon the young officer. His opportunity soon came. The young patrolman, while on duty, met with an accident, and was rendered unconscious. His rival, finding him in this state, by an ingenious deception, made it appear that he was drunk, and the patrolman was convicted of being intoxicated and was dismissed from the force. His former comrades ignored him, for they considered him unworthy of respect, but his sweetheart was loyal and believed in him. The young workman felt conscience-stricken at the wrong he had done and bitterly regretted yielding to his jealous impulse, but did not have the moral courage to tell the truth. A tire broke out in the tenement where the workman lived. Everyone got safely out except the young man's mother, who, overcome by the smoke, lay unconscious in the kitchen. She would have perished but for a brave man who fought his way through smoke and flame and staggered back with her to safety. It was the disgraced officer. The son witnessed the heroic deed, and recognized in his mother's preserver the man whom he had so cruelly wronged. Then and there he told the truth and his confession cleared the young officer and restored him to the police department. The patrolman was awarded a medal for heroism, and soon afterwards led to the altar the girl who had been loyal to him when he was not "One of the Finest," but a discredited police officer.
