She arrives and is met by his friend, Flash Jack, a reckless dare-devil. Nina is at once captivated, and even the child is delighted with his candy and toys. Flash Jack calls again and again until at last the young wife agrees to go away with him. She insists upon taking the little one. To this Jack objects, but she has her way, and after leaving a note for John, she departs. John returns home unexpectedly, finds the note, hastens after them and overtakes them. Jack's ardor cools somewhat at John's approach, but as the child prevents the angry husband from violence, they are only commanded to leave, while John takes the little one back with him. No sooner has the husband gone, however, than Nina and Jack quarrel. The woman is left to return to her cabin. Instead of finding her husband and child, she finds only four empty walls, for John has taken his things and with the child left for another part of the country. She finds herself deprived of her lover, husband, child and friend. Written by
