They are located some distance from each other. Gordon is accompanied by his collie dog. Having an eye for the beautiful, Gordon is attracted to Ann and tries to make her acquaintance, but with poor success. "Jean," his dog, helps him out by carrying his master's card to Ann, and in this way the ice is broken. They become fast friends and through mutual interests and tastes their friendship ripens into love. Gordon works hard at his profession, and through constant application at his easel, he overtaxes his eyesight and becomes blind. Ann has not seen him for some time and does not know of his plight until she receives a note from him, making known his affliction. Jean is his faithful companion and comforter and she tries in every way she can to express her sympathy. Discouraged and disheartened, Gordon, led by Jean, makes his way to the river, where he contemplates suicide. After receiving Gordon's note Ann hastens to his studio and finds he has moved and searches for him until she locates him, assisted by Jean, at the river's brink. She tenderly pleads with him and leads him to her home, assuring him that while she is able to work he shall never want. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
