VACANT tastes leading to living ex-
penditures beyond income. The hus-
band tells his wife that he is ruined
on account of living beyond their
emans.
This happens on the birthday of
their little boy. Playmates come
bringing beautiful presents; birth
day dinner is set in magnificent
style for the little ones. In the
midst of the festivities the rich I'M
Gle arrives. In an aside room the
young wife tells him of their dilem-
ma and pleads for loan which is
denied.
In her anguish she leaves the
room for a moment in order that no
one may see the anguish which is
ringing her heart. At this moment
a young man friend of the family ar
rives. Learning the source of the
young wife's trouble, he generously
hands her a handful of bank notes
He has no sooner done so than hus-
band enters. He is pierced with sus-
plcion at once, starts to make ar
accusation, but is arrested by the
interruption of his wife. She shows
him the money and tells him that the
good uncle gave it to them.
Overjoyed, he kisses and hugs hel
with gratiture and love possessing
his whole being. He hastens to his
place of business to put the money
where it will save him and his from
disgrace.

ana vigorously repealed. He is or
dered from the house.
On his return the husband finds
the uncle seated in the drawing
room alone, smoking Bursting with
gratitude, he overwhelms the uncle
with expressions of thanks, which
are not accepted.
The horrible suspicion returns as
the wife enters and she acknowledges
the truth when accused this time.
Unwilling to listen to any explana-
! tons, he leaves the house with the
| boy and goes to hotel. The little
one escapes and reaches home just
as his mother is about to leave in
company with her INSCRIPTIONS ben
efactor who appears to be the only
protection left.
The sight of her little son brings
| the young woman to her senses and
| the man is ordered from the house.
| The two struggle to make a living
for a year or two and are in desper-
ate straits when the father one day
meets his flesh and blood upon the
street and is in the act of buying a
newspaper from him when mutual
recognition throws the boy into the
| fathers arms. The man is then led
| to the tenement where he sees the
absolute proofs of his wife's fidelity.
| 1t is a happy reunion.
This is the story which is told
with wonderfully graphic pictures
in the films now being presented at
| the Gem theatre. Last night was
| the first exhibition and it will be re-
| peated tonight. Some laughable
subjects are also introduced and the
bill is an exceptionally good one.
