The Truth (1911)
Wilton Gray was innocent of forging his firm's name, yet so strong was the circumstantial evidence against him that the attorneys for Messrs. Black & Chapman succeeded in having him convicted. Left with little Rosie to provide for, Mary Gray made a noble struggle to obtain employment, but to each place which she applied, either it was already taken of the young mother was incapable of filling it. At last, through Rev. John Chapman's advice, a typewriter was sent up and Mary started practicing in earnest. But so anxious was she to get to work, that long before she was capable of holding a position, the clergyman obtained a situation for her a Crosby & Adams. However, although willing to stretch a point to oblige their rector, Mary's inexperience was so apparent that they were forced to let her go. But, fortunately, Mr. Adler, her kind-hearted landlord, lost no time in informing the clergyman of what had occurred. Accordingly, upon his housekeeper's advice, Mary and little Rosie were brought to the Rectory, and it was not long before the mother was able to act as amanuensis for her friend. All would have gone well had not Martha Higgins and Carrie Little happened in as the clergyman was soothing the happy wife after her hysterical outburst of joy when she learned that the real forger had confessed and that Wilton would be with her anon. Not waiting to hear the cause of the scene, the gossips hastened to the elders of the church with their tale, and, as a result, Rev. John Chapman was solemnly waited upon by a scandalized committee, who sorrowfully demanded his resignation. Quietly the clergyman motioned his accusers to the sitting room door, then, softly drawing aside the curtains, disclosed to their astonished gaze, the Gray family, Wilton, Mary and Rosie, oblivious to all else, save their joy at being united.
