On the very night of their betrothal, Bob gets drunk and Andy takes him home. Mary thinks that Andy has brought Bob to her in that condition to taunt her, and furiously upbraids him. Andy is so hurt that he leaves the village and goes to the gold fields. Months later, Andy has prospered in the gold fields, while Bob has lost his position through his love of liquor. A friend, writes Andy that Bob and Mary are in debt, and he arranges a job for Bob at the gold fields, without revealing his identity. Bob accepts the job and comes on alone. In the mining town he tells Bob who he is and forces him to send home part of his wages to Mary in addition to protecting him from the evil influence of "Yellow Jake," a "bad man" of the mining camp. Mary is still kept in ignorance of who her real benefactor is. Bob, one night, while under the influence of liquor, falls down a ravine and is killed. The body is found by a prospector, who finds Mary's address and copies it, then brings the body to the village. Andy is shocked, and not having the heart to tell Mary, continues to forward the monthly salary installments. Several months later, though the prospector, Mary learns her husband is dead, and as she has received several months' money, is mystified and worried. She finally goes west, and after being rescued from a perilous predicament, by Andy, she learns who has so consistently helped her without hope of reward. His unselfish devotion wins her heart and both find happiness as man and wife. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
