Marie finds a starving boy at the shrine of her patron saint and persuades her mother to adopt him. Later an artist for whom the boy has posed, recognizes in him a talent for art and takes him away to the city to educate. The boy does not prove worthy, however, and puts pleasure before work. Disgusted the artist casts him off and he becomes an outcast. One day hearing from a tramp that he is on his way to the village where Marie lives, he gives him a little carved statue of St. Anne and asks that it be delivered to Marie. When the girl gets this she starts for the city. The boy meantime has found honest employment in an art shop. Marie arrives and thoroughly ignorant of the city and its ways, she falls into the clutches of a human hawk. Passing the shop where the boy works she sees a carved St. Anne in the window and falling upon her knees prays for help. The man attempts to drag her away, but the boy who has heard her cry rushes out and rescues her. When he sees it is Marie, his joy knows no bounds. They are married and Marie pleads with the artist who takes the boy back and he is soon on the road to success. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
