DRAMATIC.
and fondly kisses his little girl, who is on her way to school The toiler returns home empty-handed — exhausted and downcast kneels at the bedside of his sick child and the scene changes to a schoolroom. A little girl (the druggist's) enters late— makes her excuse to the teacher and takes her proper seat and joins in the class work Again the scene is changed to views of the poor man digging in his garden, when an alarm of fire is given. He immediately drops
his shovel and joins the volunteer fire department, who are running down the lane to the blaze, followed by almost the entire populace. The fire proves to be in the school. The volunteers climb upon the structure, while smoke and flames pour from every window.
The chemist's daughter is missed, whereupon our hero climbs up a ladder and enters the room, whicb is ablaze and full of smoke. After groping around he locates the child and, almost exhausted himself, he tenderly carries her down the ladder, where he is met by the druggist and firemen, who relieve him of the burden.
The last series of views shows the poor man's daughter, now convalescent, bundled up and sitting in front of their hut, where the druggist and his little daughter make a visit. The latter runs forward and presents the sickly child with a large bouquet of flowers, and then the pharmacist steps forward and embraces the invalid, upon which scene the workingman, with head bandaged, appears and spurns the advances of the druggist. Upon the entreaties of both children they shake hands, and forgiveness and reconciliation follow.
