It was released June 25, 1917 by Bluebird Photoplays, a subsidiary of Universal Studios. The film was based on an 1898 short story by Francis Hopkinson Smith. The short story first appeared in the Ladies' Home Journal in late 1898. The story was also included in Smith's 1899 short story collection The Other Fellow. The 1921 film Desperate Youth is also based on the same short story. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
