Nevada's father dies, and she is sent to live with his wealthy brother in New York. Her cousin, Barbara, soon becomes jealous of the attentions that Gilbert Ross, an artist, is paying her, and when he sends Nevada a note about some flowers, Barbara tells her it is a request for her to come to Gilbert's studio at midnight. Nevada goes, thinking Gilbert is ill. He is surprised to see her, but as he really loves her, and learns of Barbara's deception, proposes an immediate elopement, to which Nevada agrees with alacrity. She confesses to Gilbert that she cannot read or write, but he says that can easily be remedied, and that the note about the flowers proved to be the best letter he ever wrote. Written by
