In a fishing village she boarded with an old couple whose granddaughter, Lucy Joyce, was a cripple. The old folks consented to pose for Miriam, thinking thus to earn money for Lucy's operation, so that she might walk again. Miriam's sweetheart, Spencer, came to visit her, and was entranced by Lucy's ethereal beauty. He was the most wonderful man Lucy had ever seen, and she lost her heart to him. Miriam saw them together, and realized that her happiness was shattered. For Lucy's sake she told the girl that she and Spencer had discovered they did not love each other. Back in her studio, she completed her painting and won the grand prize with it. Revisiting Lucy, whose operation had turned out successfully, she saved the girl from drowning at the cost of her own life, the sublime sacrifice of love.
