The Civil War has begun, and Marion returns the ring to Alroy and ends their engagement, when Alroy enlists in a Union regiment. Marion and her mother visit Miss Carrington at Philamont, in Virginia. The fortunes of war bring Alroy's regiment near Philamont. In a skirmish with Confederate troops, Alroy's reconnoitering party is annihilated, and Alroy takes refuge in the Carrington mansion. Confederate officers make their headquarters in the same house. Hidden in the fireplace, Alroy hears the Confederate officers discuss their plans, and when they go out to dinner, he secures their campaign map and escapes to the woods. Chased and severely wounded by Confederate patrols, Alray re-enters the Carrington mansion. Marion finds her former lover in a swoon, and assisted by Abraham, the negro butler, she secretes him under the bed in her room. When the pursuing Confederates enter and question her, Marion answers that the "Yank is not there. Later, in dressing Alroy's wound, the girl finds the missing map. She denounces Alroy as a spy and holds him up with his own revolver. Alroy faints, and Marion, touched by his condition, helps him to escape after she has returned the stolen map. Peace, which makes ours a reunited country, restores Marion to her lover, and in a beautiful, romantic scene, Alroy again places the ring upon the finger of his sweetheart.
