Unto Us a Child Is Born (1911)
Robert Watson, a young married man, whose greatest fault is an insane jealousy of his beautiful wife, bids her an affectionate good-bye and starts for his place of business. He has hardly left the house when a postman brings the wife a letter from her brother, Tom, whom she has not seen for many years, and whom the husband has never seen, announcing his intention of visiting her. Tom arrives soon after. Mary hears Robert coming, and in a spirit of mischief persuades Tom to aid her in playing a joke on Robert by taking her in his arms. Robert, seeing his wife in the arms of a stranger, draws his revolver and shoots, wounding Tom. Robert, believing he has killed Tom, flees for the west. Six months later he is seen, drinking and gambling. While staggering toward home, he falls over a cliff, where he is found by two kind-hearted miners, who care for him. One day a letter comes for Robert, containing only a few bars of music. One of Robert's friends, having shown the strange missive to several acquaintances without result, takes it to the parson, who recognizes it as a part of the hymn, "Unto Us a Child Is Born." The miner tells Robert, who instantly understands that his wife has forgiven him. Tom enters, and Robert's jealousy is again aroused, until Mary introduces Tom as her brother, when Bob offers Tom his hand, and happiness is restored.
