La faute d&apos;un père

In this picture we see the interior of a luxuriously appointed home, where a happy couple is receiving the blessings of the young lady's parents on the evening of the announcement of their betrothal. The young man leaves and goes to another part of the city, to the home of the woman who has first claim on his love, for she is the mother of his child, and is living in dire poverty and trying to support her little one on her meager earnings collected by sewing. When he comes to her and tells her of his intentions to marry another she is heartbroken, but cannot turn him from his purpose. The next picture shows the fashionable wedding at the church and the unfortunate woman, with her babe in her arms, viewing the happy pair as they leave the edifice; but her courage fails her when she is about to tear him from the other woman's side. In after years we see her, when her son is grown to manhood and she receives his affection and kindness in their humble home. He goes out to work, and the mother is seen walking along the road, when she meets the man who wrecked her life. They immediately recognize one another, and the old love is once more revived in her kind heart. She pleads with him, but he turns his back and retreats. She goes on her way to her home, and when the son returns from his daily toil she tells him her secret and dies in his arms. The next picture shows the man in his luxurious home, enjoying the society of his wife and daughter. The girl suggests a trip down to the seashore, and they are soon enjoying the sea breezes. As the young lady is running along a high cliff she loses her balance and plunges into the water. The parents are powerless with fright and can lend her no assistance, but a young man standing near dives in and rescues her. When he brings her safely to shore he falls exhausted and is carried to the home of the girl whom he saved. When he is revived, and upon trying to learn his identity the man discovers that he is his own son. He tells the secret to his wife and daughter, who gladly receive the chap into the family circle, and the girl is highly elated over the fact of having such a hero for a brother and companion.
