In strolling about he comes to an old sycamore tree where, years ago, he and Dolly had carved their names. To him it recalls memories. He and Dolly were practically engaged when Walter, a gambler and a drunkard, stepped in and won her. They were married. Unable to bear seeing the girl he loved with another, Willis left for another state. Later he learned that the husband had, in a drunken brawl, been killed. As the memories are recalled to him Willis takes his knife from his pocket, and cuts away his name. A little later, on his way to the station, learning that he has an hour before the train is due, he stops in at a saloon to rest. In the back room, the wine room, he sees a drunken, depraved woman. As he stares at her and she at him, they recognize in each other their childhood sweethearts. Picking up his suitcase, Willis slowly leaves, while Dolly swoons on the table, a lady that was.
