She mistakes him for a Mr. Forrester and considers his strange trampish garb a whim of his. He sees that she misunderstands him and, being desperate for some change of luck, assumes the part she thinks he is taking. He returns to the Hoodshaw home with her and is offered great hospitality, including evening clothes belonging to a son away at school. From a college picture he recalls Dolly's brother as an old classmate. Dr. Cordry, Dean of Bleakly College, is a visitor at the house and meets Sherforth, recognizes him. Sherforth tries to masquerade but finally goes to the Dean in desperation for his advice, when he learns he cares much for Dolly and she loves him. While they are talking on the lawn fire breaks out in the house and Sherforth makes a thrilling rescue of the girl, imprisoned in her room, with barred windows to prevent sleep walking. With superhuman strength, Sherforth tears aside the bars and drops the girl safely into the net below, then saves himself. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
