He goes west hoping to strike it rich and return with fortune to claim his bride. The news of his death in the gold fields fails to reach Agnes, who toils on for the family year after year. The younger girls grow up and marry. Her father dies. And Agnes is left alone at length in the big, empty house. From time to time she takes out her bridal finery, now yellow and antiquated, puts it on, and lives through in imagination the wedding which never was to be. Loneliness and disappointment gradually undermine her health. And one day, clad in her bridal veil, her frail heart succumbs, and she goes to rejoin her lover at last.
