His nephew Ellis, Hudson's sole heir, reads of his uncle's engagement in the paper, and greatly worried for fear he will lose the fortune, hurries to New York, where he meets his uncle and tries to persuade him that Margery is marrying Hudson solely for his money. He is skeptical, but finally decides to prove Margery's love by a test. Hudson returns to Laughing Springs on crutches, with his nephew and valet, and with a terrific grouch against the world in general, pretending he is very ill. Margery, however, proves most solicitous and sympathetic. This proves conclusively to Hudson that her love is sincere, and Ellis, seeing his plan failing, decides to squeal on his uncle and see what effect that will have to break up their engagement. He accordingly tells Margery of his uncle's little scheme. Then it is a case of "Greek meets Greek." Margery, while she refuses to believe Ellis, has her doubts, and determines to try her fiancé. She has Doctor Diggs subject him to the most strenuous and uncomfortable treatment. After an exciting time, Hudson finally pretends that he is dying of heart trouble and makes a brief will which is in Margery's favor. Ellis is wild with rage, but to the astonishment of both men, Margery tears the will to pieces and falls on her knees beside the bed. In tears she begs forgiveness for being the cause of the strenuous time Hudson has gone through lately, and pointing to Ellis, tells of that young man's deception and blaming him for it all. A great light dawns upon Hudson, and realizing his nephew is a blackguard, he gently assures Margery that he feels his heart will be safe in her keeping, and that he has no heart disease except that of love.
