Partly through his own industry, and partly through Helen Eldridge's influence over her father, Ned had progressed step by step, and now that the young man had won the girl's consent to an early marriage, he felt that his dream to be taken into the firm would soon be realized. His country sweetheart, Lucy Abbott, was forgotten, and within a few weeks Helen might have become his wife, had not his brother, John, read the announcement of their engagement, and hastened to the city in the hope of recalling Ned to his senses. But the young man stubbornly declared he had now gone too far to withdraw; so, in anger and desperation, John hastened to the Eldridge home, to be told by Helen that she would give Ned up at once, were she sure that he really loves another. This was all that John asked. Immediately he dispatched a letter to Lucy, telling her to take the first train, so that the next day when his brother called upon Miss Eldridge, it was Lucy who greeted him. From her place behind the screen, Helen was not long in ascertaining the true state of Ned's feelings. John had spoken the truth, and, although more difficult than she believed. Ned was given back his ring and awakened to the wrong he had so nearly done to both. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
