In Remembrance (1914)
Jack Sterling from up York State marries the daughter of old Squire Merton, takes her back to the big city and later becomes affluent in business, but is not as attentive to his wife as he should be. Easily won wealth seems to lead him from home rather than attach him to it. He gets into fast society; he falls madly in love with a famous dancer, and unfortunately he spends a great deal of time at her apartments. Singularly enough, the dancer's birthday and Jack's wedding anniversary occurs on the same date. Jack remembers the former, but almost forgot the latter. He purchases a valuable diamond bracelet for the dancer, in which he has engraved, "In Remembrance." It is worth a prince's ransom, but he is careless of such things and loses the bracelet in the dining room of his own home before starting out to questionable company. His wife has prepared a dainty spread in honor of the event, but he has a previous engagement, which he is forced to keep. After he has gone, the wife finds the beautiful bracelet, and looking at the inscription, naturally believes it is an anniversary gift from dear old Jack. At the dancer's party, where Jack meets rivals, he is duly laughed at, and then scorned by the imperious beauty because he endeavors to explain how he had lost an expensive gift purchased to commemorate the dancer's birthday. He leaves the house in hot haste and in hot anger. Returning home, he has cooled off, and finds a loving and unsuspecting wife coming to greet him graciously. She has the gift upon her right arm that encircles his neck. The keen-eyed Squire, however, who happens to visit the pair, finds the card accompanying the gift, realizes the truth and confronts Jack with his evidence. The latter confines the card to the grate and declares that never, never again will he wander from his own home and true wife.
