He earned his living in God knows what way, but once he boldly boasted that he and a confederate was to rob a house. She pleaded with him to forsake the dishonest plan, but he laughed and hurled her aside. She sobbed and begged, but he merely enjoyed her tears, and left the house. Outside he met his accomplice. The little wife followed him, caught up with him on the corner, and again pleaded with him to return home. In his rage he turned and struck her on the head. The woman fell and did not rise again. The two ran off. A little later she was found lying there by a farmer and his wife, who revived her. She did not know who or what she was. Her memory was a complete blank. But the good farmer took her home and made her happy. And in the peaceful little farmhouse she was to learn again the sweetness and misery of love. A young farmer lad, sincere and earnest, whispered the old words to her, and she said yes. Her husband came out of prison one day, and came to the little place of the old days. He broke into a little grocery store, but escaped in time to avoid the wrath of the proprietor. He walked down the road and met his wife. It was her wedding day. He walked over to her, and the blank in her mind became the record of the past. She suddenly knew all, realized the mockery of her new love, and told her sweetheart that she loved him, but that her duty was to the other. Together they left, she and the criminal. But they had not reached the corner when the proprietor ran into them. A struggle followed. The thief tried to obtain possession of the other's revolver, and in doing so shot himself. Suffice it to say that today she is happy in the love of a good man. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
