At the station they meet Rothwell's wife, who tells Peggy the truth about him. Peggy in endeavoring to escape from the unpleasant scene rides away on her horse, only to be followed by Rothwell. Both meet with an accident, are hurled to their doom over a steep cliff. Just before this, Stuart had assumed the guardianship of a little daughter of a friend of his, and in connection with the accident he finds himself with the girl on his hands. He sends her away to boarding school, where she meets the son of George Rothwell, the man who had eloped with Stuart's intended bride. When the girl, whose name is Renee, comes back from school to her guardian, he finds that she has grown to be a full-fledged lady, and begins to feel more than a fatherly affection for her. Some time later, at a house party, Stuart is led to believe that she loves the son of George Rothwell, and, although bearing in mind that he is the son of the man who was his bitterest enemy, he decides to give the boy a chance. It is here that he makes the great discovery that, instead of Rothwell, Jr., it is he whom Renee loves. All the past is forgotten and they turn their thoughts to the future.
