He knew the Serpent was interested in modern art, so he took some of the artist's work in the hope that they would be sold. The Serpent glanced casually at the paintings, but his eyes returned to and rested upon a particular portrait, the portrait of a sweet young woman, with a child's face and a woman's hopes and courage. He was interested in that fare, so he called upon the artist and questioned him as to the woman's identity. He found that she was his wife, but the man knew not that man's right and God's law were greater than millions of dollars, and perhaps they're not! All his life his whims had been the laws of others, his wishes the most important thing in the lives of thousands of his minions. Now he wanted her and determined to have her. And his eyes were the eyes of the Serpent. He met her, and the devil's glance gleamed into her eyes. She was fascinated by the look, hypnotized by the lure. And another victory was added to the devil's list of conquests. He invited them to a reception at his home, and there and then it was that the husband first became suspicious. One of the world's talkers came to him and told him that the Serpent and his wife were in the conservatory, but when he came there he found only the Serpent. But he knew! That night he declared war. He told his wife he was going to slay the Serpent, and he snatched a dagger lying near. There was a little struggle, she obtained the weapon, and rushed from the house to warn the Serpent. The devil is an optimistic citizen, so it didn't worry him. She was there, alone, with him. Her husband and the rest of the world didn't count, so he took her in his arms. But suddenly the right and the truth in her were reinforced by some stronger power, and she plunged the dagger into his heart. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
