But in falling, Paxton falls into a tree and thus is saved from sure death. In the meanwhile Paxton's horse comes back to his general store.

- DirectorAlice GuyStarsLee BeggsMagda FoyOld Joel Smith is charged with murder in the first degree. At the trial he pleads in opposition to his own lawyers. He explains that he is now too old to be of any assistance to his widowed daughter and grandchildren, who are dependent on him for support. He says he prefers death to a life of poverty and wretchedness. In telling the judge and jury his pathetic story (which is shown on the screen) old Joel betrays a love for his grandchildren and his fellow laborers that is poignant with pathos. He tells how he had been sent by the men to tell the boss that they were dissatisfied. Athough Joel was a favorite with the boss, his representations while listened to with respect were productive of nothing. His employer simply said, that if he raised salaries to meet the present "high cost of living" he would be compelled to close up shop. Whan they receive the answer from the boss, the men vote to strike, much against Joel's advice, and although he liked his boss, Joel is with the majority and walks out with his fellows. A long period of lean days ensue. Joel's grandchildren and widowed daughter are starving. He is too proud to beg. He goes to the headquarters of the strikers and finds them all drinking and carousing. This is too much for Joel. He announces his intention of going back to work. One of the ironworkers calls him a coward. All of the old man's pent-up anger comes to the surface, and before he knows it, he has killed the insulter. The jury weeps at the old man's pathetic story; they cannot find heart to convict him.

"Oh, Limerick is beautiful as everybody knows, The River Shannon full of fish, beside that city flows: But it is not the river, nor the fish that preys upon my mind, Nor with the town of Limerick have I any fault to find. The girl I love is beautiful, she's fairer than the dawn: She lives in Garryowen, and she's called the Colleen Bawn. As the river, proud and bold, goes by that famed city, So proud and cold, without a word, that Colleen goes by me! Oh, hone! Oh, hone! Oh, if I was the Emperor of Russia to command, Or Julius Caesar, or the Lord Lieutenant of the land, I'd give up all my wealth, my manes, I'd give up my army, Both the horses, the fat, and the royal artillery; I'd give the crown from off my head, the people on their knees. I'd give my fleet of sailing ships upon the briny seas. And a beggar I'd go to sleep, a happy man at dawn, If by my side, fast for my bride, I'd the darlin' Colleen Bawn. Oh, hone! Oh, hone!"
- DirectorEdwin S. PorterLois WeberStarsPhillips SmalleyLois WeberCharles De ForrestFar from the maddened throngs of the city, far from the teeming, seething city streets, in a little fishing town, lives Tess and her half-witted brother, Sam. By clam digging they earn a simple living, but life is sweet in spite of its simplicity. Right near their hut lived a young fisherman, handsome, brave, and bold, who sympathized with the girl because she had to support her semi-demented brother, who took an interest in her, a friendly interest, and no more. But the maid, in the manner of woman misconstrues his attitude and takes his friendly interest and concern for the divine spark. So she learns to love him as a woman can only love once in her life, and he is ignorant of the romantic relations she has assumed this simple friendship to be. Often human hearts suffer, and this time the warm, young heart of Tess is to feel the pang and anguish of a love in vain, for there comes to the fishing bank a city girl, accompanied by her mother and father. They meet the young fisherman and the girl is impressed by his clean-cut form, his robust health, his winning ways. She asks him to take her about the place, which he obligingly consents to do, and as they are laughing, talking and smiling, Tess follows them. Once, to avoid detection, she slipped into the icehouse, leaving the door open, intending to stay there until the two got out of sight. But Jed, seeing the door open, closes it, locking it after him. When Tess realizes her predicament, she shouts, but her calls bring no response. However, her half-witted brother, with the intuition that is a gift of all mentally effected, feels a presentiment of danger to his sister, whom he idolizes, and going to look for her, hears her cries, and going to the icehouse makes a vain effort to unfasten the door. At last he runs to the beach, where some fishermen are talking, and tells them of his sister's dilemma, and they, thinking it merely some of the boy's wild talk, refuses to assist him. Then Jed, coming ashore, hears the story and goes with Sam to see how much truth there is in it. He opens the door, and into his arms falls the unconscious form of Tess, resting at last in the arms of him whom the god of hearts had destined for the task.

In his interest of science Aratus neglects and forgets everything, even his wife, and gives all his time to his labors, and once, when she and his life-long friend are in his laboratory, he seems disturbed and asks them to go for a walk and leave him to his study. His friend, who adores Aratus's wife, presses his suit and attempts to kiss her on the way, and in the struggle ensuing, she falls into the pond in which the chemical preparation of Aratus's had been poured and she is petrified.

Aratus, stunned by his loss, has the pond drained and rescues the body, and placing it upon a pedestal surrounds it with flowers and immediately sets his mind to work to invent a chemical that will bring her back to life, but his endeavors are in vain. Time elapses, and in a mysterious manner, one day, all come back to life, the flowers, the animals and the woman, and Aratus thanks the hidden force that accomplished what he had failed to do.

- DirectorCharles BrabinStarsWalter EdwinGertrude McCoyEdna May WeickA young clerk, a small salary, a wife and child, the child long ill then the doctor's bill and other bills and debts accumulate; the advertisement in the news about borrowing money on your furniture at six per cent. Ah. That's the solution. I'll try it. Yes, he tried it and as the picture unfolds itself we see the clerk careworn and desperate borrowing twenty-five dollars from a loan shark, who compels him to return five of it for drawing up papers. At this the clerk remonstrates and shows the loan shark his own advertisement at six per cent. The shark snarls and snatches back the money, but the child is ill, what can he do but submit and take what he gets and sign that fatal card, which reads that he must pay forty-five dollars for tho loan of twenty-five. He signs it; he has to. Now comes with sickening regularity the dreaded monthly payments. He cannot always meet them, what then? Slowly they go, his watch, her brooch and last, the baby's ring. And next comes the "bawlerout." The clerk at his desk in a large office is told that a woman wishes to see him. She demands a payment, he can't comply, she raises her voice, threatens, heaps imprecations on him, she will not be silenced. The clerk is humiliated before the whole office and the manager discharges him. He plods home and breaks the news to his wife, who comforts him and bids him try again. The clerk succeeds in getting n new position and a kindly, sympathetic employer in whom he confides, when the "bawlerout" next appears. His employer takes him to a loan association, where anyone who is employed and in distress may borrow money at the legal rate of interest. Again, through his employer, the clerk meets the district attorney and tells him of the loan shark who is squeezing money from him, although he has already more than paid the debt. The district attorney investigates and intervenes just in time to prevent the ruffian from taking the very bed from under the clerk's sick child. He also compels him to give back all the usury interest he has received above six per cent.

While she is striving to keep herself and her two little children, Charles and Alta, alive, the little ones, not being under the vigilance of their mother, become street waifs, and Charles is arrested for attempted robbery. He is taken before Judge Lindsey who gives him commitment papers and sends him, unattended, to the State industrial School at Golden, Colo., where he is trained along instructive lines. In the meantime, Alta, who has been a frequenter of low dance halls, is picked up by a policeman just as she is about to take her first drink. She, too, is taken before Judge Lindsey, who commits her to the girls' home at Morrison, Colo., where she is educated along lines that will best fit her for life. When the children return home sometime later they are surprised to see that their mother, through the assistance of Judge Lindsey, has opened a bakery shop. Calling upon the judge, Charles is given employment on the motorcycle brigade of a large department store, and one day while in the discharge of his duties he stops the runaway horse of a banker's daughter. Through his heroism he is given employment by the banker. He is so proficient in his work that he is soon given a confidential position. In time Charles and Beatrice, the daughter, fall in love with each other. Alta, who has been assisting her mother in the bakery, meets Lawrence Riches and after a brief courtship, Judge Lindsey is called upon to officiate at a double wedding.

- DirectorJ. Stuart BlacktonStarsFlorence TurnerMary FullerEdwin R. PhillipsPART I. The incidents of this story are some of those preceding and lending up to the Civil War in 1861 and the Declaration of Emancipation. The central figure in the drama is Uncle Tom, a slave in the possession of the Shelbys of Kentucky. Tom is a peculiarly extraordinary character, possessing all the virtues and none of the bad qualities of his race, a possession brought about by a gradual realization, absorption and practice of Christian principles through a close study of the Bible. To the Shelbys he is an invaluable asset, because of his honesty and trustworthiness. Mr. Shelby, although owner of vast estates, has become greatly involved in debt, as is often the case with aristocracy. His notes have come into the hands of a slave trader named Haley, who presses Shelby for money long overdue. While visiting Shelby on one of his periodic "duns," he agrees to purchase "Uncle Tom" and Harry, a child of a quadroon, Eliza, Mrs. Shelby's maid. It is a hard bargain, but necessity, which is apt to drive to extremes, succumbs and the deal is made. Eliza overhears the transaction, and, loving her child with all her heart, decides to flee with him to the Ohio side of the river. She escapes from the house during the night, goes to "Uncle Tom's" cabin and tells him and his wife, "Aunt Chloe," all about her trouble, and also that Tom has been sold to the slave dealer, and advises him to get away while there is yet time. Tom, feeling it his bounden duty to live up to the tenets of his sale as well as his own conscience, refuses, but blesses Eliza and wishes her Godspeed. When Haley discovers the flight of Eliza he is frantic, and, calling into service some of Shelby's slaves and the ever-ready bloodhounds, he starts in pursuit of his prey. Eliza has made her way with her dear Harry clasped to her bosom to the banks of the Ohio River in a driving snowstorm, with the piercing cold winds carrying the baying of the bloodhounds to her ears as they follow mercilessly in her tracks. The ferryboats are not running, and the boatmen who usually ply their traffic across the river are afraid to encounter the fierce storm and the ice floes at the risk of their produce and their own lives. Spurred on by mother love and courage born of liberty and protection of the helpless, Eliza unhesitatingly jumps down the river's bank onto a large cake of floating ice, which rafts her down the stream, then from one piece of ice to another she leaps like a deer until she reaches the Ohio side of the river, where she is assisted up the bank and seeks shelter for herself and child. Haley and his negro aides are baffled in the capture of their quarry. Haley is furious, the negroes delighted, and while Haley goes to the tavern to appease his wrath the darkies show their pleasure in fits of laughter, and return to the Shelby place to report Eliza's escape. Haley, after a night of it in company with Marks, the lawyer, and Tom Rorer, a human bloodhound, goes back to take possession of "Uncle Tom," by the sale of whom he hopes to make up the loss of Harry. Uncle Tom, after a last farewell to his wife and little pickaninnies, and a hearty good-bye from young "Mars" George Shelby, who promises he will purchase "Tom" himself some day, gets into Haley's wagon, shackled hand and foot, with a sad heart but Christian resignation, bids farewell forever to his old Kentucky home. PART II. Haley, with Uncle Tom and his other slaves, boards the steamboat and starts down the Mississippi for Louisiana. On the boat going home from a visit to Vermont is Mr. Augustine St. Clare with his little daughter, Eva, a beautiful child of delicate temperament, and a maiden aunt named "Miss Ophelia." On the way down the river poor Tom makes himself helpful and cheerfully obliging to everybody, lending a hand with the freight and saying a kind and courteous word whenever spoken to. Whenever he can find time he reads in his laboring way his Bible, which is a source of great comfort to him. Eva is especially attracted to Tom. He has his pocket stored with odd toys of his own manufacture, which furnishes her great amusement during the long and tedious progress of the boat. One day Eva falls overboard. Uncle Tom with unhesitating courage jumps into the river and brings her safely back to the boat. This cements her attachment for Tom. She begs her father to buy him for her own. The father, always ready to satisfy her every wish, makes a deal with Haley, and Tom is purchased for Eva, who makes him her companion and attendant. "Miss Ophelia," although a northerner, is shocked at the readiness with which Eva associates and confides in Tom, but as she learns afterward it is not misplaced and well deserved. The St. Clares arrive at their home in New Orleans. Tom is initiated as a member of the household, and while officially the coachman he is personally the bodyguard of Eva and he is her confidant fides achates. We can see the sensitive nature and constitution of the child gradually succumb to the climatic changes and the rackings of the severe cough and cold which has settled upon her lungs. Her father decides to move the family and household to his country home where he hopes Eva will improve and get well. It is here we are introduced to "Topsy," a coal black little negress whom St. Clare buys for "Miss Ophelia" to call her own and bring up in the way she would have her go. From this time on to the close of the film "Topsy" is a noticeable and amusing person. For two years Uncle Tom's life with the St. Clares is an uninterrupted dream, excepting the thoughts of his separation from his dear old wife and his children. After two years little Eva's illness becomes so bad she appears to be undergoing a process of translation and looks more like a vision of immortality in the midst of mortal things. Often she talks with Uncle Tom about Heaven with an understanding that makes Tom think, and everybody else for that matter, that she is not long for this world. These suppositions are well founded, for it is not long before Eva is seen on her bed surrounded by her parents, Aunt Ophelia, Uncle Tom and the servants of the family. She bids each one good-bye, giving each some little keepsake, then peacefully passes away to join the other angels in Heaven. PART III. The sorrow following the death of little Eva has scarcely passed when the house of St. Clare is again thrown into mourning by the death of Mr. St. Clare, who was stabbed while trying to stop a quarrel between two men. Mr. St. Clare had promised Uncle Tom his freedom, in anticipation of which he is inspired with new hope and great ambition to work for the liberation of his wife and children, but all this is doomed by his master's untimely end, and all the servants of the St. Clare place are sold to speculators and other masters. Tom is sold to Legree, who is brutal in the extreme, and treats poor Tom with little less consideration than a dog. Legree has established as his mistress Cassie, a quadroon slave, whom he treats as badly as he dares, for she has a strong influence over him and despises him with a heartiness that she cannot hide. One day, working in the cotton field, Cassie meets Uncle Tom, and is impressed by his generosity and gentleness of spirit and his all-abiding faith in God. At the same time Legree bought Tom he bid on a young mulatto girl named Emmeline, whom he also introduced into his household to displace Cassie, whom he tries to relegate again to the cotton picking rank of slaves. Emmeline likes Cassie, abhors Legree, and keeps as far from him as possible. Tom is subjected to every sort of indignation and uncomplainingly does his duty. It is not until he is asked to flog a poor slave girl that he refuses to obey his master, and is himself unmercifully whipped by Legree and two of his slaves. Cassie finds life with Legree unbearable, and hates him with an indescribable intensity. She plans to accomplish escape for herself and Emmeline, and asks Uncle Tom to go with them, but he refuses to leave while others suffer for no more reason than himself. Cassie plays upon Legree's superstition and fear, for, in reality, he is an arrant coward, and she makes him believe there are ghosts in the garret of his house, and when she and Emmeline take flight and he pursues them with bloodhounds and slaves, the women retrace their steps, after passing through the swamp to throw the dogs off the trail, and return to the garret, where they remain for three days and make good their escape when favorable opportunity presents itself after Legree has given them up as gone. Legree, filled with rage, for want of better excuse accuses Uncle Tom of knowing something about Cassies escape and being party to it. Tom denies that he had any hand in it, and refuses to reveal his knowledge of it. Legree vents his spite and cussedness by administering a severe beating to Tom and felling him with a savage blow. Young Shelby, who promised Tom at the time his father sold him to Haley that he would repurchase him as soon as he could, now comes to Legree's place to buy him back. Too late! Poor Tom has gone to his eternal freedom to dwell with his Master, who makes no distinction in color, creed or class and prepareth a place for all those who love Him and keep His Commandments, and of whom Tom was a faithful disciple. - The Moving Picture World, August 6, 1910

SturgeonStarsCharles BennettMary CharlesonMyrtle GonzalezWhile plowing his fields one day, farmer John Cameron notices that his horse Jerry looks sick, so he stops work and takes the team up to the barn. He looses Jerry and lets him go into a loose box while he puts his other horse into his stall as usual. Cameron finds that Jerry is in bad shape, and at once he sets off to see a veterinary surgeon who gives him medicine, but doesn't come to see what's actually wrong with Jerry. That same morning, John's daughter Julia receives a reply from the principal of the School of Arts and Sciences to a letter she had written, asking the cost of a course she wishes to take. She has long hoped to get something better than a college education, and has been saving all the money she could make on her chickens so she can afford it. Her frivolous-minded older sister Bessie already attends the school, but their parents who also have several younger children, cannot afford to send Julia as well. Julia has invested much work and self-denial to save what she has, and now she's overjoyed to learn hat she has just enough to put her through. t That night, Jerry dies. Cameron despairs because Jim, Jerry's teammate, is old and not strong enough to plow alone. Unless Cameron is able to get his seed into the ground and reap the harvest, he will be unable to meet the mortgage payment that is due in the autumn. Both he and his wife are greatly distressed, for it looks like their work of years in improving the farm will all be wasted. Knowing this, Julia decides to forego her college course and offer them the money so they can buy a new horse. This is difficult; she has long dreamed of her new life. The sight of her frivolous sister, who does not seem to realize what opportunities she has, only makes her loss more painful. At first her father will not accept the money, knowing of the dream of his daughter's heart, but at length she persuades him to do so, all the time wearing a smiling face as though it means nothing to her. Truly it is such commonplace sacrifices as these that demand the highest courage.

The factory inspector listens to Mr. Waters' promise to right matters and does not report the case. Tom Watts, an employee in the mill, breaks the rule which prohibits smoking. Thus the three are to blame. Tom Watts and Hilda Fox. another employee of the mill, are lovers with the wedding only one day off Tom carelessly throws the lighted match, with which he had lit his cigarette, into a pile of rubbish in the basement of the mill. The fire started gains headway so rapidly that Tom is barely able to make his escape up the now blazing stairway. Meanwhile the smoke has penetrated to all parts of the mill; the hundreds of employees are panic stricken and rush wildly for the fire exits, only to find them locked or cluttered with heavy boxes and bales which make them impractical for use. Tom comes upon a crowd of them at one of these doors, and hastily grabbing a fire axe, cuts a way for them through a partition. Upon escaping to the street he finds that Hilda is still in the mill which is now blazing from every window. In a series of thrilling episodes Tom finds the unconscious Hilda and carries her to the street, where he acknowledges his blame in setting the mill afire. The employees nearly mob him and he is driven out of the town. His name is heralded among other mill owners and he is unable to secure work. This, added to the fact that Hilda was badly crippled in the fire, drives him to contemplating suicide from which he is prevented by the timely arrival of Hilda with a letter from Waters in which he acknowledges his own blame as well as Tom's and invites Tom to return to the new factory, both having learned a needed lesson.

Green, a member of the club, lives in the apartment beneath that of William Wright, a broker. Wright is in business difficulties, but his business associates have not yet learned this, as his wife's father has promised to relieve the situation with a loan. Daisy Dean, Wright's stenographer, is in his confidence. Daisy has her foot caught in the elevator of the building and Mr. Wright takes her home in his car. As he passes the club window, the gossips and Green see him with Daisy and slander is started. Green, coming home, tells his wife of Wright's joy ride with his office girl. Their servant overhears and quickly calls the news up the dumbwaiter to Mrs. Wright's maid in the flat above. Mrs. Wright enters in time to hear the discussion and her slumbering jealousy is fanned into a flame. In Daisy's neighborhood her ride in Mr. Wright's car has occasioned some comment, especially from Susan, an old maid aunt next door, whose brother, Robert, has long loved Daisy in secret. Daisy is engaged to Austin Clark. Mrs. Wright has particularly noted that the stenographer always has a bunch of daisies on her desk. In the most innocent fashion, Mr. Wright comes home with one of the flowers in his button-hole. The fact that Daisy is seen morning and evening in Mr. Wright's car gives color to the lies that are now freely circulating. Daisy and Austin quarrel and part. Mrs. Wright haunts Daisy's neighborhood in a taxicab and has her worse suspicions confirmed in the fact that her husband is seen outside. Without giving him a chance, she leaves him. The father withdraws his financial support and ruin overtakes Wright. One morning the newspaper has an item which reads: "Wife of broker leaves him on eve of his bankruptcy. Mrs. William Wright returns to her father's house. She will apply for divorce from her husband, naming his stenographer. Daisy Dean, as co-respondent." By the time the gossips get through with Daisy Dean, she is glad to marry Robert, next door, for protection. On the day of her wedding. Austin repents his hastiness and writes that he has never ceased to love her, but it is too late and Daisy hides the letter with his photograph. Wright, broken and penniless, is saved from suicide by his old mother. Time passes and the old trouble seems forgotten. In their new happiness, Daisy and Robert and their baby go to a seaside town for the summer. Robert's work calls him away and his sister, Susan, in spite of her dislike of Daisy, comes to stay with her during his absence. In the meantime, Austin, who is now engaged to a girl in the town, comes down for his vacation. He and Daisy meet and he introduces the two women. Daisy remembers his photograph and letter hidden away; gets them out and burns them, but Susan recovers the end of the letter, which was burned and which reads: "I have never ceased to love you. Austin." She sends the letter to her brother. Daisy is included in many of their engagement festivities in a perfectly innocent way, but to Susan's suspicious mind there can only be one conclusion placed upon their intimacy. The letters and insinuations to Robert breathe such suspicion against Daisy and Austin that he is driven almost mad. Finally, unable to work, he returns home without notifying his wife. The same evening, Daisy has joined Austin and a party of their friends in an auto ride out of town for dinner. A series of accidents to the car, miles from nowhere, detain them until dawn. A cottager, who proves to be Mr. Wright, assists them. Robert reaches his home about daylight in a condition bordering on insanity. He is met by Susan with the news that Daisy has been out all night with Austin. The auto party, having stopped at the sweetheart's home, drops her and her parents first and Austin then escorts Daisy to her cottage. On entering the house, Daisy is confronted by Robert and Susan. A terrible scene takes place, during which Robert's self-control is entirely lost. Austin, returning from the garage, passes the house and is shot dead by Robert, who is taken into custody. Daisy, terror-stricken, takes her baby and hastens as far from the town as her strength will carry her. At last, more dead than alive, she sees no hope for herself but death and is about to end her life and the baby's when she is saved by Mr. Wright, who takes her to his mother. The shock of the tragedy kills Robert's sister, while Daisy receives the following letter: "Do not come home, I am disgraced enough. Your Mother." News reaches the clubroom that Mr. Wright and Daisy Dean are living in the same house and the scandal goes on.
