He goes West and becomes a schoolmaster. One of his pupils is Neeta, the daughter of a half-breed who secretly sells whiskey to the Indians. The pupils each bring gifts to the teacher, and, deciding she will bring something a man will enjoy, she gives him some of her father's whiskey, which he throws away. She refuses to forgive him until he consents to accept her gift. He drinks it and the old craving returns with renewed vigor. While under the influence of the whiskey he wanders in the mountains for several days. Neeta, realizing what she has done, follows and finds him. They confess their love, and next day, she returns borne, but is regarded as an outcast. Philip recovers and decides to marry Neeta, but his friend, Dick, tells him he could never hope to introduce her to his people, and that he should return to the East and marry Marjorie. Neeta overhears the conversation, and refuses to marry him. The next day, as he and Dick start out along the mountain trail, Neeta hides in the underbrush. Dick sees her, and becoming repentant, tries to attract Philip's attention to Neeta. However, she threatens to kill herself if he does. Feeling that it is Fate, he lets matters take their course, and Neeta watches as the man she loves disappears forever. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
