Just Two Little Girls (1911)

Wesley Burke, M.D., is referred to as "The Great Doctor Burke." Notwithstanding his great gift, Dr. Burke could not save his dear wife's life and, had it not been for Gladys, his only child, he might have gone mad. In the squalid home of Frank and Margaret Morse, little Nell Morse lies still on her deathbed. The good old Doctor Davey gives up all hope, but tells the grief-stricken couple that Doctor Burke alone might save the little one. Frank promptly rushes out in search of the great physician. Little Gladys indulges in a game of hide-and-seek with her governess and, while attempting to cross the road, would have been struck by an automobile but for the heroic act of Frank Morse who, though knocked unconscious, is but slightly hurt. Governess, girl and the brave man are bundled into the auto and rapidly driven to the doctor's home. On regaining consciousness. Frank learns that he is in the very home of Dr. Burke, whose child he had saved. The doctor soon hears of the little girl hovering between life and death, and goes to the Morse abode. Here, after twelve hours of work and constant watch, he declares little Nell out of danger and the Morses weep for joy. Little Gladys pays frequent visits to Little Nell, bringing her toys. The two little girls make even the great Doctor Burke share the happiness pervading the Burke and Morse households.
