Both are deeply in love with Marjorie Turnbull, but despite her father's faith in Henry rather than Hugh, Marjorie loves the younger brother. Old Turnbull gives some valuable bonds in Hugh's care, and the latter, eager to meet Marjorie and be clandestinely married, misplaces them. Henry tries to cover his brother, but Turnbull believes Hugh has stolen the bods. Weakly permitting himself to be persuaded into a hasty departure by the well-meaning Henry and Marjorie, Hugh runs away. Then, when he reads in the newspapers the next day of the general belief of his guilt, he feigns suicide. Marjorie and Henry, believing Hugh dead, are married. Later Hugh comes back. Bitterly he accuses Henry of charging him with the theft so that Henry could marry Marjorie. In a struggle between the brothers, Turnbull is accidentally killed. And then, too late, the bonds are found. But for all this who was really guilty? Was it one of the individuals concerned, or can the tragedy more properly be blamed on a too general proneness to judge seeming circumstances as fact?
