Pleasantly told
by deickemeyer2019-07-24

"The story of this film is in many respects pleasantly told. In it a mother, whose husband is ill, sells her child to a wealthy man in whose home she has been obliged to work, for a thousand dollars. Later, the father, recovering, is sent to the same house to do some work and rejoices at finding the child which he believes to be dead. The foster father gives up the child without divulging the circumstances. T'he story might have gained something had it been constructed with the foster father of the child as the main character. - The Moving Picture World, January 16, 1915..."
