Before marrying he goes to the metropolis to establish himself, and secures employment in a construction company, where he rises to a position of importance. In a boarding house he meets May Burrows, a pretty stenographer, and falls in love with her. His affection is returned by May, who is grief-stricken when John tells her he is bound to Belle. The day set for the marriage approaches, and John determines to keep his promise. A letter arrives from Belle, and May sees it on the letter-rack and purloins it, knowing it is in answer to John's note to Belle reminding her of the wedding-day and asking regarding arrangements for the occasion, May thinking that if John thinks his letter unanswered it will cause an estrangement between him and Belle. Her conscience hurts her, however, and she takes the letter to John, confessing her action. The letter from Belle turns out to be a declaration of her love for another man, and asking to be released from her engagement. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
