A Brother's Requital (1912) Online

Hector Gray promises his dying mother that he will always be good to her favorite son, Jim. Jim is inclined to be rather wild, but despite this fact, Hector takes him into business and they become partners. Jim is engaged to Edith. Hector meets her and immediately loses his heart to her. Knowing she is Jim's fiancée, he loyally conceals his feelings. He gives Jim the company's funds bidding him deposit them. On his way to the vaults Jim meets some of his old companions, and loses the entire amount. Returning home he confesses this to Hector, who instead of turning upon the penitent boy, forgives him. He tells Jim that Edith must never know that it was he who lost the money, and Hector shoulders the blame. When Jim sees Edith he breaks down and tells her the whole story. He soon realizes that Edith loves Hector just as Hector loves her. Realizing his own unworthiness he brings them together and insists upon taking all the blame.
