Mother&apos;s Old Armchair

Norman Wallace marries Bess Franklin. After the wedding when they are looking over the many gifts, they see the one Bess's mother has given them. It is an old-fashioned armchair. A note on it reads; "When in trouble seek solace from the old armchair; it will never fail you; never part with it. Mother." They move into a little home of their own and find great comfort in the old chair. A little baby comes to bless their union, One day, Norman rushes in, greatly excited; he has inherited a large sum of money. They buy a new home, and as Bess is arranging the furniture she has the old armchair placed near the fireplace. It jars on Norman's artistic sense and he has it removed to the attic. As years go on, he becomes indifferent to Bess. Norman plunges in the stock market. Suddenly everything turns against him and he knows unless he can get into a friend's office in a few minutes all will be lost. He rushes madly from his office to the elevator, just as the elevator boy is closing the door; he tries to force his way in, the elevator quickly descends and catches him, crushing his legs. They are compelled to sell their house and furniture. When the men come to the attic to see if there is anything there they are about to remove the chair, but Bess pleads with them and they allow her to keep it. Bess and her family move to poor quarters, tries to make a living, but is not successful. Things go from bad to worse. The landlord gives them two hours to pay the rent or go out of the room. In despair, Bess kneels at the old armchair, and in raising herself from the floor, putting her hands on the arm of the chair, it breaks. She discovers a chamois bag with a note on it, saying, "From your mother." She opens the bag and finds it full of money, enough to start them in life again.
