Her meeting with the mill owner's son, through the agency of the child, furnishes a rich morsel of gossip. Time passes, and the man declares his love for Mabel. Sadly she tells him that she can never marry him; she is the wife of another. Doctor Burton had won her heart, but with success he had become unkind, and she left him. Her story shatters the man's hopes. A few days later, during the absence of the village doctor, the child of the arch-gossip is taken seriously ill. Mrs. Burton goes to nurse it and, realizing the gravity of the case, telegraphs for her husband, the great specialist. He, misunderstanding, believes his own child's life is at stake, and hastens to the valley. On the way he is killed in an automobile accident. Mrs. Burton's care saves the child's life; the village learns to love her, and eventually she consents to wed her faithful suitor. Written by
