The Only Way (1913)

Tired of society, Agnes Temple and a party of friends go slumming in the poorer sections of the city, where they come upon a mission hall. The regular organ player being away, Agnes fills the vacancy, and in this way becomes acquainted with mission worker Alfred Wallace, who later takes her to the home of Bill Thomas, whose little daughter Annie is afflicted with hip disease. Agnes learns that the father has no money to pay for an operation, so she takes the child to her beautiful home where, just as the operation is to be performed, Bill--who, unknown to anyone has become a burglar and who is not aware of his child's presence--enters the house intent on stealing Agnes' beautiful necklace. He is discovered by Agnes whose screams awaken the child. Bill, recognizing her voice, and observing how good Agnes is to his child, confesses what he really is. She hides his infamy from his mother, who is by this time at his child's bedside, and Bill is thereby converted. Agnes later becomes the life partner of Mr. Wallace.
