Sundaying in Fairview (1917)

"The Hellion," as Dick Farragut is known to his friends, looks mild enough, but he has an awful punch. It is the unfortunate experience of "The Rat," a cabaret viper, to learn this fact when he attempts to insult a girl before Dick's eyes in the Moline café. Dick's fist lands so hard on "The Rat" as to knock him senseless. Young Farragut is panic-stricken as he sees his victim fall, apparently lifeless, and escapes from the cabaret. He catches the first train out of the city and lands in Fairview on a Sunday. Here Dick seeks to hide, but meets Ruth Small, daughter of the village pastor. She takes him to church and by his marvelous execution on the pipe organ makes a decided hit. Thus it is, when friends finally discover him and inform him that "The Rat" was not really injured, that Dick refuses to return to the city, but marries Ruth and remains many more Sundays in Fairview.
