I've had so much 'cheer' in the last few years that, oh, what's the use?" To a man standing at one side, it sounded like the conversation of a few friends trying to help out one of the great, cruel world's "down and outs," and he turned to his neighbor to inquire what particular business or personal "punch" had put that good-looking but grouchy young chap on the "blue" list. "Who is this lad, who seems so unwilling to join the boys? Is he having a rough time of it?" "Who, that fellow? Well, hardly. That is Charlie Forbes, head of one of our best firms in town. His trouble is he has seen all of what he considers 'life,' and consequently the blasé grouch. But, mark my words, he'll get a shock one of these days. I think a real girl, one with brains and wit, could make him sit up and take notice." The crowd of good fellows who were gathered about young Forbes, here at the club, had little success in "cheering him up," but the men on the side had true enough outlined the wealthy, handsome young man-of- the-world's fate. Soon a new sensation was to come into his life, and when it came, he lost all that indifference, which had marked him among his fellows for months. And it was a girl who brought about this change. Charlie's "I've seen it all" attitude worries his doting mother. Thinking she has hit upon the happy solution, Charlie's mother sends for the daughter of her old school friend, Mrs. Wilton, because she has always loved this young lady, and she thinks the charming Miss Wilton can bring Charles to a realization of all the joy this life really contains. But Charles, when told of Miss Wilton's coming, tells his mother in a tone of disgust, "What? Me marry? Well, not while I have my senses." Well, Miss Wilton overhears that remark, and being a girl of spirit, that means trouble for Mr. Charles. When Charlie's pal suggests a little conspiracy, Miss Wilton agrees with real interest. With the pal's assistance, the charming visitor enters Charles' office as a stenographer, and the boss comes down with a grouch. He is scolding on all sides when his eyes meet those of the green stenographer and immediately something happens. He feels he is "caught," and gets away to avoid those new, strange, wonderful eyes. At the club, the vision of "that new girl" remains with him, but suddenly it is gone and he double quicks to the telephone and asks for news from the office. He is told that the "new stenographer" has departed for Niagara. At Niagara Falls a charming Indian girl seems to have the same eyes that are haunting Charles, and after she has slipped away, he reads on the back of a card she sold him, "You did not recognize her. Meet me at your office in New York." Then the boss receives a phone call that the stenographer while coming to the city in an auto, has been held up by a wild tiger. In the meantime, an itinerant showman with a lamb-like tiger has been engaged to pose the pet animal in front of the auto. Charles dashes to the rescue and carries Miss Wilton, who has "fainted," to the house. Meeting his mother, Charles is informed that Miss Wilton, his mother's friend, and the stenographer in his arms. are one and the same. He is angry at first, but how could he help but relent and be happy? Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
