Mr. and Mrs. Snap quarrel, as married folks sometimes do, and when the threat of a separation comes, each is too angry to take back the words spoken in haste. They feel too proud to retract later. The result is that an order is requested from the court, legalizing their separation. But Judge Lynx thinks that he knows enough of human nature to be sure that this couple really does not desire a divorce. He tries a little plan of his own. Mrs. Snap is distressed for a moment by a terrible coughing spell, caused by the judge, who has thrown some powder into the fire. Immediately Mr. Snap rushes t» the rescue and before they realize how it all happens, there has been a reconciliation. Husband and wife return to their little home and agree to live in peace with their charming little daughter.
