A Sinner's Sacrifice (1910)
"Satan, get thee behind me." If his Satanic majesty would but heed the command, many hearts would be unbroken and lives unwrecked; but he is sure of his victims and meets them in a guise, most likely to deaden their consciences, and, instead of behind, Satan walks beside and leads them on. Mr. Jones, whose whole existence should be devoted to his wife and child, permits his heart to throb unduly at the sight of Madeline, whom he meets at a reception, and to whom he makes love, with but little impression. However, his home and family prove irksome and unattractive, and he goes, despite wife's pleadings and child's tears. A cruel message, telling of his desertion, is soon after brought his wife, when she is obliged to live in poor quarters. It is here she meets with an accident and blinded for life. While she is thus denuded of her rights Madeline and her husband are living in luxury and happiness. Mrs. Jones dresses her boy so that he may go out to earn what little he can by selling papers, and the little chap is run down by an auto, which, by chance, happens to hold no other than Madeline. She takes him in her arms, and, finding out where he lives, takes him home. When she reaches there the mother is worried about her son, and, though grieved at his accident, is happy to have him home. Madeline finds a picture of Mr. Jones and asks the child who it is. She is astounded to hear that it is his father, and realizes with sorrow that it is she who has caused trouble. She goes to her home, and when Mr. Jones comes she tells him he must go back to his family, and takes him to their quarters. He is broken-hearted to see the conditions, and Madeline leaves him there to make reparation, while she goes froth to repent her sin.
