She is a headstrong, willful girl who lost her mother when she was quite young. She forms a strange attachment for a young village loafer and is about to elope with him, but the principal of the school. Miss Preston, discovers it in time to telegraph her father. On learning the character of the fellow with whom his daughter is planning to elope, he goes straight to his house and offers him one hundred dollars to forget the girl. This the ardent lover promptly accepts and signs an agreement to that effect. Then the father repairs to the rendezvous and awaits the coming of his daughter. Slipping down a ladder from her window, she steals cautiously across the lawn and, running around the corner of the barn, she comes face to face with her own father. It is a terrible shock and the girl is led away, sobbing with anger, grief and disappointment. But when her father shows her the agreement which her ardent lover signed for the consideration of one hundred dollars, she realizes what a fool she has been and that the hateful, prying school principal is really her best friend.
