From the refuge she had gone to South Africa as a nurse during the war and while there met Grace Rosebury, the daughter of General Rosebury, who had come for temporary shelter to one of the field hospitals. The general's daughter was wet and cold. Mercy loaned her a nurse's uniform. The two girls, during their brief acquaintance, became good friends, and Grace Rosebury told Mercy that she was going to England to stay with friends of her father, whom she had never seen, and that it bad been arranged that she was to marry one of the nephews of the house. Suddenly a shell hit the hospital and a flying splinter struck Grace Rosebury on the head. In the confusion that followed, the surgeon, seeing her in a nurse's uniform, mistook her for a nurse, and after a rapid examination, pronounced her dead. An opportunity had arisen and Mercy could not resist the temptation. She had never known happiness and Grace had never known misery. She took Grace Rosebury's effects, and declared herself to be the general's daughter. She arrived safely in England, and was received with open arms by Lady Janet Roy and her nephew. She soon won her way into the hearts of all the family, but her happiness could not last. She must be found out sooner or later. One of the first people she met at the house of Lady Janet Roy was Julian Grey, the pastor of the refuge. He remembered her at once, but she denied all knowledge of him. To make matters worse, she fell in love with him and he with her, despite her nominal engagement to Lady Janet's nephew. The crisis came when the real Grace Rosebury, who was not dead, arrived on the scene and denounced Mercy as an impostor. Everyone immediately turned against Mercy except Julian Grey, who loved her and offered her his care and protection. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
