PLOT.
Mrs. O'Brien, living on a small farm,
has been given 5000 by her brother.
Robert, for the education of her two
daughters and her niece living with her.
She takes the money and her two
daughters to the city, leaving the
niece. The money is soon spent foolish
y and letter written to Robert for
more, Uncle Bob, however, does not
like the quick action with his money
ard tells them to meet him at the farm.
He arrives ahead of them, assumes the
role of an old negro and is a witness to
their artificial life and their shameful,
unkind treatment of Resale, his niece.
Everything comes out all right in the
end, but it pictures the result of faith
fitness, and also of insincerity.
