His Mother (1910)
A drunken husband and an idle son are not very pleasant features of a home, and although such is the sad condition in the home of Mrs. Barton, it does not lessen her love for either of them. It is hard for the poor mother, but a godsend for the boy, who soon makes himself the favorite cowboy of one of the ranch owners in the west, and, incidentally, is brought beneath the gentle influence of the ranchman's daughter. Conditions at home remain the same until the long expected fatality occurs, the husband being brought home dead. Without husband and apparently a lost son, the Widow Barton drinks deeply of the cup of sorrow. This, however, is mitigated by the arrival of a special delivery letter from her son, enclosing money with which she is entreated to come to him, together with the father. The boy makes preparations to receive his parents. The father of Maud is a widower and a drinking man, and although he admires his favorite cowboy, he becomes angered if the boy refuses to drink with him. The day of the arrival of the widow in town, her son is at the saloon with the ranchman, both in a drunken state. Maud, fearing that such is the case, hurries to the home prepared by the boy for his mother, and finds her there, weeping. Learning the whereabouts of her son, the widow hastens to the saloon, in time to dash the glasses from the hands of the ranchman and her son. Realizing his culpability, the boy takes the vow on his knees before his mother to never touch another drop. Affected and surprised, the ranchman follows suit, and in the course of time is assured of her hand.
