    Very effective

    An Arthur Mackley picture with an especially well handled and tense ending. If the minister had been home the eloping farmer's daughter and her beau would have been married, but they are disappointed and have to go home, at the farmer's house there are yegg tinkers trying to force the farmer to give up his money. It is well acted and very effective. - The Moving Picture World, January 2, 1915
