&apos;Tis an Ill Wind That Blows No Good

Roger Pierce decides to go away for a change of scene. Arriving in a small town he purchases workman's clothes, takes lodgings in a modest boardinghouse, and gets a job in the Frederic Paper Mill, where Grace Howard's father is gate-watchman. One noon the watchman is attacked by an intoxicated man; Roger comes to the rescue and drives the man away, just as Grace arrives with her father's dinner and is introduced to Roger. After a time Roger marries Grace. Roger decides to surprise his young wife, so takes her back to his own home in the city, where Roger's mother treats her coldly; later she leaves their home. She leaves Roger a note of explanation; taking a photograph of him and a small bundle of clothes, she leaves and takes lodgings in a tenement house--owned, unknown to her--by Roger's father; upon his death, Roger inherits the tenement block. A few nights later, Grace is putting her 3-year-old daughter to bed in her little room. Sorrow has made deep furrows in her once-handsome face. Then she, too, retires. A fire starts downstairs, caused by a carelessly thrown match. Roger is notified at his club, and arrives in time to rescue Grace, whom he recognizes. He takes her home to his mother, where all are reconciled.
