Her highly sensitive nature is also a highly suspicious one, tortured by her love to question and doubt upon the merest shadow of provocation. When her sister writes and announces her intention to visit them, Phyllis becomes immediately uneasy. This uneasiness is kept in check only by the greatest exercise of her will, and becomes uncontrollable when, later, she sees her sister and her husband in secret and earnest conversation. In reality, this conversation concerns a difficulty her husband is in, and out of which her sister is trying to help him. Goaded to jealous rage at what she fancies to be her husband's infidelity and her sister's disloyalty, she decides on a desperate measure to rid her home of her imagined rival. Stealing out to the corral, she cuts the check line of a fiery mount her sister usually rides, cuts it so that the first strain will sever it and leave the rider helpless. Her jealousy quickly turns to concern when she sees her own daughter set up beside her sister on the restless horse. Before she can recover from the shock they have galloped off. Quickly she runs to her husband, and tells him what her frightful jealousy has led her to do. On foot, and hopelessly, they follow horse and riders. Breathlessly they come to the edge of a deep ravine, where they find their daughter miraculously saved, but know that the sister has vanished headlong over the cliff with the madly galloping horse. Almost dead she is picked up and carried home, where for weeks she lies unconscious before starting to convalesce. But Phyllis has learned well her lesson, and faithfully promises herself never again to allow her unfounded jealousy to overbalance her reason. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
