Tom Martin had for some time been out of employment, and, although he had repeatedly applied for his old position as telegraph operator, the fact that he had taken part in a recent labor strike was held as a bar against his re-employment by the company. Now, Tom was a willing worker and only too anxious to do anything to earn a living for himself and his young wife. But the fates seemed against him, and, outside of a few odd jobs he was unsuccessful. To add to his burden and worry, his wife fell ill and was obliged to take to her bed. The few dollars he bad been able to save rapidly disappeared, and, as she was too ill to be left alone, Tom found it almost impossible to absent himself long enough to seek for work. The opening scene of the picture shows a plain but neat bedroom in a cheap lodging house. Tom is sitting by the bedside of his sick wife, waiting anxiously for the arrival of the doctor, who had promised to come and minister to his loved one's needs
