Meanwhile, wealthy young bachelor John Livingston is induced by two young boy acquaintances to take a ride in their new auto. They are riding down the hill when they hit a tree, causing a general spill. Mistaking John, who's wearing black goggles, for the blind man to whom she is to apply, Jane assists him to his feet and walks with to the address specified in the advertisement. John tells her she is leading him to the wrong house, as he lives next door. Thinking that there is a mistake in the address, Jane leads him to his own house. The butler is put "wise," and John continues the deception by wearing the goggles. Jane takes care of him until one day she catches him reading a paper. Horrified at the deceit practiced on her, she upbraids John bitterly and leaves. Later the two boys are out in the woods shooting. After one of their random shots they hear a cry of pain. It comes from John, who has been shot by their carelessness, the shock causing total blindness. Not knowing what to do, the boys go to Jane and tell her what has happened. She hurries to John and again leads him home, only this time he really is blind. The doctors are called in and advise an operation; after the operation they tell Jane they won't know the result until morning. Jane remains in the hall all through the night and in the morning she goes at once to John's room and finds him already dressed. It is apparent that the operation was a success, and Jane leaves, saying "You won't need me now; you can see." The two boys who were the innocent cause of all the trouble have been waiting on the porch all night, and they see Jane leave the house. A few moments later, when John comes out in pursuit of Jane, the boys realize the situation and after some difficulty succeed in bringing them together.
