Tim, a handsome, happy-golucky seaman, is down and out in San Francisco. He takes a banana frgm a woman who is feeding monkeys in the park and eats it. A policeman threatens to arrest him, but the woman sends the officer about his busi ness. The woman, Bertha, owner of a fur shop, takes a sudden fancy to Tim. She invites him to her home and gives him a square meal. She asks him to stay and help her in the shop and he decides to try it for a short time. Eventually they marry. Tim, however, is making love to other women, particularly a girl named Marguerite. Bertha knows he is fickle, and also that the sea is calling to the man who is a born rover, but she closes her eyes to the fact. When Tim suddenly discovers that Bertha is going to have a child, his entire attitude changes. He begins almost to worship her and when the baby is born he worships both. Marguerite drops out of his life entirely. He is entirely happy until the baby is taken sick and dies. Then the old roving instinct asserts itself again. Ilka, a niece of Bertha’s, has been brought to live with them so she can help in the shop while Bertha is ill. She falls in love with Tim and makes overtures to him, but it is not until after the \ Tim Marguerite ________..

Bertha realizes the affair is going on, but is so much in love with Tim, she again closes her eyes. In the meantime, Marguerite, who comes to the shop to inquire for Tim, meets Bertha, who discovers Marguerite has had a child by Tim. Bertha tells Marguerite that Tim has gone, but that he had left money to which the child is entitled. Bertha sees Marguerite regularly and supports the child. Tim is getting more and more restless and Ilka finally persuades him to run away with her. The two are upstairs packing when Marguerite comes to Bertha and asks her to take the child, and keep it as her own. Bertha has discovered that Tim and Ilka are planning to run away, so gladly consents to take the baby. On the way out Tim hears Marguerite talking to Bertha. He sends Ilka out to get a taxi while he listens. After Marguerite goes, he sends Ilka away alone, telling her he is going back to Bertha. The joy of parenthood has hit him again. Bertha has gone to the attic where she keeps the clothing of her own baby and sits in an old rocker by the window, as is her wont, sadly looking over her own baby’s clothing and crooning to Tim’s_ baby. There Tim finds her and sweeps them both into his arms. sfek wan ennnoes oe Ae ee Mabon Paul Kelly Ann Dvorak Helen Lowell Dorothy Tree eeciidemmeie: 0) cals Henry O'Neill io _....Marjorie Gateson Mayo Methot Paneer See Renee Whitney ee: Lynn Browning oe Lorena Layson ee elie arasiete.
