Vance thereupon leaves for a distant city, where he rapidly wins fame. Fate deals harshly with Gage, whose fortune is wiped out. The man sinks lower down Life's ladder, finally accepting a job in a factory located in the same city in which Vance resides. An explosion seriously injures Gage. The man is rushed to the hospital. Vera hastens to her husband's side, and discovers that the surgeon who is to operate upon Gage is Vance. Knowing the suspicion which must arise in Vera's mind should his nerve fall, the surgeon prays that the operation prove successful. As the result of Vance's skill, Gage is placed upon the road to recovery, filled with gratitude. Vera endeavors to see the surgeon. Realizing his love is stronger than ever, Vance deliberately avoids her lest it overcome him. Returning home, the man prays for strength to overcome the longing in his heart.
