Phillips Denver is also in love with Margaret, but has little hopes of preventing the marriage. About this time Rose Mason turns up in the little town and calls on John. Rose was a sweetheart of John's when he was a divinity student, but she left him to join a theatrical company. On confronting John, Rose reminds him of their former love, and asks if he is still ready to marry her. John informs her of his prospective marriage to Margaret. Rose is angry and upbraids him. Phillips Denver discovers them quarreling and sees an opportunity of breaking of the match between John and Margaret. Phillips secures an opportunity of meeting Rose; he manages to inflame her jealousy and she agrees to his plan. The next evening she calls on John again and manages to be seen in a compromising position when Margaret enters. A scene results wherein Margaret breaks off her engagement. When Margaret has gone Rose observes just how badly John is hurt. She is touched and promises him that she will bring matters to an adjustment. She visits Margaret and tries to explain, but when the furious girl tells her that any explanation that a woman of her kind could make would be useless, Rose determines to win John in spite of all. Later Margaret accepts Phillips and John finds himself, as the minister, forced to marry them. In desperation he turns to Rose, whose love has returned, and marries her. Contrary to John's expectations, he believed Rose a flippant woman with little good in her, Rose turns out to be a splendid wife, doing good wherever she can. Margaret, on the other hand, shows herself to be a shrew, while her husband, poor man, cannot call his soul his own. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
