Other men are also waiting for someone to come out. As Mrs. Fiske, known as Miss Everton, come from the door, another man greets her, and she is about to enter a cab with him, when her jealous husband pulls her aside, and quite a scene ensues between the two men. Finally husband and wife go off together. Miss Everton is next seen sitting on the balcony of her home. She kisses her baby, which is brought in by the nurse, and as they are about to enter the house, a man presents divorce papers to her. Miss Everton's sorrow at their contents is very apparent, nurse shows sympathy and enters house with baby. Mr. Fiske comes to say good-bye to his little one, and a most pathetic parting takes place between father and child, husband and wife. Four years have elapsed, and Mr. Fiske is married again. Mrs. Fiske's little girl is brought to her, and when her husband also enters the room, they fondle and play with her. From this luxurious abode we go to an attic, which is now the home of Miss Everton. She enters and runs to the bed on which is her boy, whom she feeds from a cup. Her reverses have been so great she feels she can no longer care for her child, so she fastens a tag to his collar and goes out with him. She comes to a large building, and making sure she is not watched, puts the youngster on the steps and hastily goes away. Mr. Fiske rides up to the door, sees boy, reads the tag, and takes him into building. He finally decides to carry him to him home, where the little fellow finds a welcome. Twenty years have gone by, and Miss Everton enters her dressing room at the theater, she starts to make up when the evening paper attracts her attention. She shows horror at what she reads, and regardless of the fact that it is time for the curtain to rise, she dashes from the theater. Guests are seen driving to the door of Mr. Fiske's home, and when Miss Everton presents herself there they do not want to admit her, but she gets by the footman and into the drawing room, where stands her son and Mr. Fiske's daughter about to be wedded. She explains that Mr. Fiske is the father of both, and she the mother of the boy, so the wedding is stepped and much excitement caused. Written by
