The Other Man (1911)
Again and again Ruth Benson had overlooked the carelessness of her maid, Lucy. This morning, however, she had not only broken a cut-glass bowl, but also a couple of pieces of her best china, and Ruth's patience was at an end. Neil Benson had gone to the office and little Ida to the park with her nurse, when upon coming into the sitting room after her wages, Lucy beheld her mistress in the arms of a tall stranger, and heard the couple mention the café at which they would have luncheon. Here was an opportunity to get even with Mrs. Benson, so hastening to the phone, she called up the astonished husband, and advised him of his wife's whereabouts. Although ashamed of himself for being influenced by Lucy's gossip, Neal sprang into his auto and was soon at the house. Here, first a half-smoked cigarette attracted his attention, then the first page of a letter commencing, "Dear Little Girl" and stating that the writer would arrive that morning. So the maid had been light after all. Once more Neal jumped into his auto and sped to the café, only to learn that Mrs. Benson, whom one of the waiters recognized, had just left with her escort. A wild chase followed. However, the auto reached the house first and the couple were bending over a diamond ring when Neal burst into the hall. As he stepped to the doorway and raised his revolver, the stranger turned, and the amazed husband beheld Irving Bradford, his father-in-law, who, having returned from abroad, had at once hurried to his daughter's to give her the first ride in his new car. Pulling himself together as best he could, Neal entered to greet his rival, and although that greeting was somewhat hysterical, neither father nor daughter suspected the real cause.
