When this is discovered by the girl's father, there is a violent scene. He objects to his daughter marrying a poor man and, to make sure of the separation, he forbids the violinist to see his daughter. After several attempts to defeat the old man's plans, Enrico is discouraged and heart-broken. He plans to return to his own country. Before sailing, he writes to Margaret, urging her to marry him at once. They are married secretly, and very soon the violinist sails away to Italy, expecting his wife to follow. In years that follow, Enrico wins fame and fortune in his native country. However, his struggle has been a lonesome one, for he has received no word from his early sweetheart. His letters have remained unanswered. This, we learn, was due to the girl's father, who had taken care to have all the mail passing between the young couple, intercepted. It is a black day when Enrico receives a short letter from America, briefly stating that Margaret McDonald had died suddenly. He feels that life is not worth the living, that ambition is not worth the struggle. But with the longing to be at least near the grave of his sweetheart, he returns to America. Once in this country, he searches out his former street musicians and, in time, becomes, with them, a wanderer. Years pass. Margaret's daughter, Ethel, has grown to charming girlhood. On an afternoon, she hears the strains of her mother's favorite melody, "Miserere," floating to her through the open window. Fascinated by the music she invites the humble violinist into the house. He plays for her and then they talk. Her grandfather enters the room and confronts the musician. However, Enrico's identity is not disclosed. He leaves the house, a new ambition aroused in him. Alone with the grandfather, he promises the old man he will return to claim his daughter, and that when he does return, they shall not be ashamed of him. Days pass and by constant study and work, the violinist is able to regain his technique. This time he becomes a famous musician in his adopted country, America. There is a big music recital, to which Ethel and her grandfather are invited. Enrico is present and he charms with his music. The old man presents the girl to Salerno, the famous violinist. She recognizes him as her street musician. Then it is that Enrico discloses his real identity, and as the picture discloses, we find father and daughter folded in each other's arms.
