The Step-Daughter

A mechanical engineer, Gordon Harvey, has married for a second time, the new wife having a daughter of about the same age as his own daughter, Mary. So long as Harvey lives there is merely the secret enmity that women know so well how to conceal, but when a telegram is received announcing the death of the engineer, all pretense is discarded and Mary becomes the household drudge, while her stepmother and Gladys enjoy the income from the comfortable fortune that Harvey left. In time the situation becomes so intolerable that Mary leaves her home and supports herself as the bookkeeper in a restaurant. Word is received from Frank Underhill that he has returned to America from Brazil and is now possessed of great wealth. He announces his intention of calling upon his childhood sweetheart. Mrs. Harvey conceives the plan of substituting her own daughter for Mary, since the letter makes it plain that Underhill has not seen the girl since she was a child, and the deception proves mildly successful until they chance to visit the restaurant in which Mary has found employment. The women do not see her until it is too late to retreat, but they would have escaped detection even then had not the little locket that Mary had worn constantly become detached from its slender chain. Frank restores the locket and is surprised to find it the one he gave his little playmate. Explanations follow and the wrong is righted to the satisfaction of all except Mrs. Harvey and her scheming daughter.
