Harry’s parents were comfortably well off, and when he married a girl whom they considered beneath them in station, he was promptly disinherited. He and Betty loved each other, however, and they set up a modest little home. But married life is expensive and in the course of time Harry’s small store of savings was well-nigh exhausted. One day, as he was thinking what he had best do, he saw an article in a newspaper that told of the discovery of gold near Cabeny. Eventually he arrived at the gold field. He bought an outfit and horses. Harry exercised poor judgment in his purchase of horses and the one he was riding stumbled at the top of a hill, Harry fell and hurt himself badly. Far off in the rocks a rough old miner was working. He took the injured gold seeker to his own cabin in the hills and there after a time he convalesced, but his memory was gone. His outfit gave no clue to his identity, and perforce the miner had to keep him with him. In the meantime a baby has come to Betty and himself, of whose existence Harry was ignorant, and poverty has attacked both his wife and son. To insure the proper provisions for the baby, she left it one night on her father-in-law’s doorstep. But mother-in-law had gone away, and father-in-law did not know anything about babies, so he left the youngster with some neighbors. The miner and Harry were working every day at the mine and had great hopes from it when, one day an extra large blast caused Harry to be struck and injured with falling rock. When he had recovered from the effects of this it was found that he had regained his memory. Of course, his first thought then was of the little wife whom he had neglected for a year. Back home he hurried. While all this was happening, mother-in-law had returned home and she and her husband had gone to the neighbor’s to reclaim the baby. But the winning ways of the little fellow had captivated the neighbors and they would not give him up. An argument ensued, and a policeman was called in to settle it. He confiscated the baby and took it to the police station. The hard-hearted chief of police ordered the baby turned over to the matron at the station and had a policeman eject the noisy quartet from his office. About the time the quarrel was taking place Harry had returned to his home and found his wife in very poor circumstances. But he had with him a little gold from his efforts and felt able to make her comfortable. Besides, he had learned the great lesson of work and felt competent to care for a wife and child. Together he and Betty set out to regain their son. After calling at his father’s house and at the neighbor’s house in a frantic search, they found that the baby had been taken to the station. There they hurried and Betty made an appeal to the chief of police that convinced him of her sincerity. He had the little fellow turned over to her and she and Harry left the place happy.
