On finding her letter, her father dies in a fit of anger. In coming to a town where Lincoln's call to arms is being sounded, Prudence offers to sing for the cause. She is heard by a rich woman who realizes that the girl has a marvelous voice and adopts her, giving her a training which makes her later a world-renowned singer. In the meantime, Elisha has responded to his country's call, and Prudence receives a letter telling her that he is killed. It is a false report, however, and Elisha returns from the war, and marries another girl. When years have passed, after Prudence's farewell to the stage, she returns to her native village, arriving just as Elisha is being sent by his son and daughter-in-law to the soldiers' home. Prudence makes herself known to Elisha and the couple, with youth renewed, go to finish the wedding ceremony at the same Justice's office where it had been rudely interrupted years before. Ignoring the attempts of his son to interfere, Elisha forces the Justice to marry them and finds, when the ceremony is ended that he has married, not poor Prudence grown old, but a wealthy woman of power and influence.
