After the death of their mother, Jane has taken the household cares upon her and mothers her young sister. Elsie is cashier in a restaurant. She is admired by her patrons. A young man meets the little cashier. Percy H. Baldwin, as he signs his name to his famous paintings, lives in luxurious bachelor apartments connected with his studio. He dismisses his model and goes to ask the girl at the restaurant to pose for him. She consents. Her father denounces her. Heart sick and discouraged, Elsie goes to the artist and tells him. He confesses his love for her and asks her to marry him. In the meantime, Jane and her father hunt for Elsie, and heart-broken, the father dies. Jane accidentally meets Elsie in the street. Elsie learns of her father's death and takes Jane home with her. Percy is stunned by the beauty of the sister, Jane, and he makes love to her. She, not knowing he is married, is horrified when Elsie walks into the room, sees them and denounces him. With Jane she goes back to her humble home. There her husband follows her, pleading with her to return to him. She refuses. There, in sorrow, he leaves her, not broken in spirit by her refusal, for out of doors he meets an old sweetheart and goes off for a ride in his auto. For Percy H. Baldwin, trifler, soon finds happiness in another's face. Written by
