He arranged to meet them at the pier, but on his way there he was injured in an accident and taken unconscious and unidentified to a hospital. The two women arrived in America, to find themselves homeless and friendless. The daughter finally secured a position in a sweatshop, but her eyesight failed her rapidly, and she was soon thrown out of that position, blind and helpless. In her happier days she had been an amateur musician and now the violin, once a source of amusement, became the only reliance of these two women, for the daughter played the violin and the mother begged in the streets. In the meantime, the father had been convalescing in the hospital, and messengers he sent to seek his loved ones returned to report that no trace of the women could be found. One pleasant afternoon the convalescent was weakly reclining in a chair on the hospital grounds, and a blind girl staggered in and explained to the doctor, who was chatting with the patient, that she had lost her way. The kindly doctor questioned her and she told her story, not knowing one of the two listeners was her father, who at first had not recognized her. Her grief was speedily turned to joy when he announced himself and a fresh cause for thanksgiving came when the doctor told them that he knew the girl's sight could be restored. Thus after many tribulations was the family reunited. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
