She had learned to love Frank Goodrich, a salesman for the company. His health had been very poor and when the doctor ordered him west, he was at a loss to know how he was to get there, having saved very little money. He asks his employer to help him, but Waverly refuses. The employer, fascinated with Miss Black, finally consents to help her, and she forwards money to Frank each week. His health improves. Shirley, sacrificing her love for Goodrich, allows her employer to press his attentions, and she did it to help the man she loved. She writes Frank every week and continues sending him money that she receives from her employer. Finally, she marries Waverly, to save the life of her sweetheart. Johnson, a clerk in Waverly's employ, writes a letter to Goodrich, informing him of Shirley's marriage, and he hastens to the east, where he threatens to deliver Shirley's letters to her husband. Shirley denounces him, stating that now she really loves Waverly, and that nothing can separate them. Goodrich is on one side of the chasm, now utterly out of reach of the love Shirley had sacrificed. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
