Accompanied by his valet, he goes for a week-end to the Barrett's beautiful bungalow in the mountains. He is a welcome guest there, because he is admired by Marie Barrett. They renew their old troth and have a delightful time tramping in the mountains in the neighborhood. On one of these excursions they happen to visit an isolated home of the mountains, where Elise Martin lives. The girl immediately attracts the attention of Donald. Marie Barrett soon perceives a change in her lover, and when he is suddenly called to Europe, she practically gives him a letter of release from his engagement. Later, the old father of Elise dies and leaves her quite alone; so she is taken to the Barrett home and Marie undertakes her education. These influences so quickly refine and intensify the attractions of the mountain girl that when she makes her debut in society she is the cynosure of all eyes. About this time Donald Worth returns from Europe and promptly visits the Barrett home, and unmistakably shows his love for the undowered mountain lass. The generous Marie Barrett, who has many admirers, finds the object of her charity has an equal chance with her and relinquishes the hand of the man to whom she was once plighted to the lovely but lowly Elise Martin.
