Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? She has three suitors, one her father favors, the second is her mother’s choice, but the third is the boy for Dora. Her father, seeing how determined she is in favor of the third, gives the young man a chance to gain his consent by suggesting that he go out and make good. This is agreed upon and the young man goes to a neighboring town to improve his fortune. Things go badly; he is broke and stranded. This is as papa expected, and to give his daughter once more, and the last chance, he promises her that her favorite may have her it he comes to claim her by noon the next day. He gets there all right, and in such a novel way that papa is forced to admit that he is clever.
