Before sailing, Jack receives a letter from his fiancée, Lucy Wordon, explaining matters. Upon Jack's return to home and his fiancée, his fancied dislike toward his youthful stepmother soon disappears. His kind regard and liking for her had grown into a love that threatened to wreck his entire life and break Lucy's heart. Madge realized that all were standing on the brink of a tragedy, and summoning every particle of womanly strength to the rescue used her potent influence over her stepson to bring about a marriage with Lucy, feeling certain that a little separation and time would cure him of his infatuation and restore his love for the sweet girl he once loved so devotedly. The marriage was quickly consummated and the young couple off on their honeymoon. A year passed and Jack returned with his bride to his father's home. At the first look into his step-mother's eyes he realized that she had passed through the fire safely, but at the same moment realized that while his feeling for her had dulled to the point where control of its expansion was possible, the old love still lived. However, a solution of the problem is impending for direct from the source of all goodness comes the factor that, once introduced into this tangle of twisted, aching, but right-doing hearts, brings first peace, then content, and finally happiness.
