But a clue betrayed him and he was imprisoned for twenty years. The twenty years pass, and Edward Longley comes from the prison a different man. He can find no trace of his wife and son. Longley seeks employment in vain, owing to his record, but finally secures a job sweeping the streets. While at work he is struck by an automobile and is taken to the chauffeur's home. When the injured man is brought in the chauffeur's mother recognizes in him her husband. She identifies herself and tells him that their son, Paul, is working in the same bank where the father was once cashier. She asks him not to reveal his identity to the son, lest the knowledge of the father and his guilt may hinder Paul's advancement. The father consents. Paul secures for Longley a job as night watchman in the bank. Naturally as the father was tempted to gamble so was the son. The events of twenty years previous were repeated, but Longley soon discovered the theft and returned to Paul that same night the clue that he had left behind. Then he waited and placed his trust in a higher power. His intention was to surrender himself, not that it did not matter, for it did, but that he could not endure to see his son suffer as he had suffered. His prayer was answered, for Paul returned the money before it was too late. When morning came Longley was gone, but a note left on Paul's desk told him the truth.
