Ruskin meets the innkeeper's daughter and falls in love with her, but the father drives him away. Later, the old man dies and the girl and her mother are turned from the tavern by the old man's creditors. They go to the city, taking the sign painted by Ruskin, who is now a well-known and successful artist. Mildred takes the painting to an old art dealer, who recognizes the signature of Ruskin. He obtains the girl's address, and takes the painting to Ruskin to ask him if it is an original. Ruskin, who has been longing for Mildred, pays the art dealer for the painting and asks for Mildred's address. Mildred is surprised and pleased to find that he has not forgotten her, but is more surprised to learn that he wishes to marry one in her station in life.
