A Play Released In Two Reels by
Seiig Polyscope Go.
Mary Ransom, lovely and
charming young wife, lived hap
PLY with her husband, John Ran
son, and their two-year-old boy.
Mary, who loved her husband
dearly, didn't think anything
could happen to mar the happi-
ness of their married life. Hor-
ton, who had been a friend of the
family for long time, had grown
to love Mary, who, in return, ac-
cepted pleasant little attentions
from him, but had no intention of
doing anything that would arouse
the criticism OF her husband. Hor-
ton, while posing as a friend,
took advantage of these condi-
tions, and Mary, innocent I'm
spirit, allowed herself to become
entangled in the meshes of a
harmless Irritation.
One evening when John re-
turned home he found Mary en-
tertaining Horton and decided
that there was too much familiar
ity between them for mere friend
ship. Realizing what this Ia
miliarity might lead to, John
talked seriously to his wife on the
subject, and Mary, innocent of
any wrong intention, broke into
tears and put her baby to bed.
Later they became reconciled and
Mary promised to act differently
in the future.
But, on the following day, Hor-
ton. in his automobile, spied Mary
on the sidewalk and invited her
into his machine. She declined
politely, but he finally succeeded
in getting her in. The car broke
down and as a result of the trip
Mary was late for supper.
Her husband detected her in a
falsehood, for she denied having
seen Horton, while John saw her
in the automobile.
Later, Horton forced his atten-
tions on Mary in a restaurant and
John discovered them. For the
sake of the baby, he tried to be-
lieve Mary and forgive her.
When summer came, the Ran
sons visited their summer bunga-
low and were very happy, away
from all temptation. But Horton
traced them there and sent a fake
telegram to John, announcing
that business demanded his re-
turn for a day.
When Mary was alone, Horton
visited the cabin, pretending to be
badly hurt, and foolish, kind
hearted Mary believed and helped
him.
Horton was very happy at the
success of his ruse and proceeded
to force his attentions upon Mary.
until interrupted by her husband,
who unexpectedly returned. RAN
son believed the worst and after
a fight with Horton, who wound.
ed him in the shoulder, he turned
his wife from the door.
The years passed and Mary be-
came a nurse in a hospital. She

Jack has Mary.
"A man does not always want
to be making love to his wife be-

like a fool"
ut may not be good form for
a man to compliment his wife be-
fore folks. but il is mighty good
policy just the same, Master Jack,
but as far as l can see you have
not made love to Mary either in
public or private for a long time.

thing: AS long as l have that

slammed the door behind him.
