Perhaps the hero of this very well acted picture (a typical American life-portrayal) was a little careless, as even the most efficient are sometimes. He was a good business man and held a responsible position, but the wind blew a negotiable bond under a piece of office furniture and he was suspected and discharged. The home scenes show him and his wife and son meeting the difficulty like real Americans. The rent is due and they need money badly. The winds blow the son's hat off and he picks it up just where a purse with much money in it is lying. The boy brings this home, but just then the winds blowing the newspaper show the boy's father an ad telling him that his old employer has lost the purse. The boy takes the purse to its owner, who is astonished to find whose son the boy is. He writes his address on a slip of paper and lays it just where the bond had been. The same draught blows the slip under the bookcase where the bond lies and both are brought out together. There seems to be many coincidences. When the boy's hat is being blown along the street, the trees are almost still. - The Moving Picture World, August 26, 1911
