Early in life Martha lost her father, and, at the age of sixteen, the death of her mother leaves Martha an orphan. The country seems lonesome and dreary to her, so she secures a position in town. By diligent application to her duties she soon rises to become the private secretary of the head of the firm. Her employer's interest ripens into love and he proposes to her. This was not what she anticipated and it arouses her into deep thought and retrospection. She realizes that she does not love her employer. She asks for time to consider and that night in her room she has visions of her old home, her old-time playmate, John and her employer. She write the latter that she cannot wed him, as she does not love him and then returns to her old home. Here she finds that her absence has not caused John to forget. The meeting is an agreeable surprise to the erstwhile playmate and Martha decides to stay and reciprocate the unfailing love for her devoted and constant John Freeman.
