Joe, a young woodsman, is her sweetheart, and old Jim sanctions their love. Then Ralph Lane comes fishing on a vacation, and sets his tent up the stream. One day he spies Leafy splashing in the deep little pool with only her long hair about her and is startled at the sight. He follows her and makes her acquaintance. The attraction between them is mutual, and many secret meetings follow. It finally reaches the stage where she promises to elope with him. Joe, in the meanwhile, is filled with bitterness. On the night of the elopement he starts out to kill Lane. But this is not necessary, as she realizes what she is doing and comes home before any harm has been done. But Jim is offended and will not see her. Then Old Jim Dorman makes him sit down, and tells him of how, years ago, he once loved and married a young woodland girl. She jilted him, but he still loved and waited for her patiently. One stormy night, a year later, he was startled at a noise and opened the door to find a little bundle on the step. It was a baby. The following day, after he had crooned the babe to rest, he found his sweetheart in the pool, dead. A rudely constructed little cross on a mound is all that is left, and Jim Dorman takes the two young lovers there and shows them the cross. Here he begs them to love each other and benefit by his sorrowful experience. The lovers kiss and leave him standing by the cross. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
