He sees himself as a boy. with his sweetheart of school days, and compares the little simple village with the city. After his dream, he makes a decision to give up his practice and go back to the village and lead a simple life with the God-fearing friends. He writes his mother to this effect, telling her he is tired of the city and its ways. In the meantime, his schooldays sweetheart, Velma Benning, has been betrayed by Judge Cross's son, Bill, who, afraid to oppose his father's wishes, has refused to marry Velma. Three months later, Jack, having settled his affairs in the city, arrives at his boyhood home. Velma, convalescent in the hospital, asks for her baby, and is told that it is dead. Jack is traveling around the town, discovers there is quite a bit more sin there than he imagines. Velma, coming home, is turned out by her father, and forced to seek employment in the small hotel; there Jack meets her, and upon speaking to her for the first time, is informed by Bill Cross of his affair with Velma. He is knocked down for his trouble. At church the next Sunday, Jack asks her to sit with him during service. Eventually Jack proposes to Velma and is accepted. He insists upon an immediate marriage, then tells his mother and now wife to pack their things, that he is going to take them both to the city, where people at least mind their own affairs.
