Her father, Henry Durand, scoffs at her power, and an irksome antagonism arises between them. Durand also objects to Gaston Du Valle as a suitor for his daughter's hand. So Gaston, wishing to exploit Fayette's power, induces her to leave home and establishes her as a professional medium. A young man called Edgar Pearson calls on her several times to ask her advice about investments and finds that the advice is always sound. One day he asks her about a certain stock and she advises him to buy. Her father, not knowing who she is, asks her advice about the same stock. It is a choice between Edgar and her father. At last she decides to favor Edgar and advises her father to sell. Later, her conscience hurts her and she reverses her decision. She rushes to the floor of the exchange and reverses her advice. As a result her father wins a fortune and Edgar loses all he has. When he rebukes Fayette for willfully ruining him, she takes pity on him and takes him to her father to try to make him return some of the money. Durand is immovable until Fayette lifts her veil. Then he relents and Fayette and Edgar are happily married. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
