For a while she is impartial but Arnold is too impetuous in his addresses and she repulses him. Gilbert Howell, a traveling salesman of the firm, puts into the vault a sealed package containing valuable private papers. On the same day is placed in the vault, a number of fine uncut stones in a similar package. When Howard starts on his usual tour, he takes from the vault what he thinks are his papers. That same evening, old St. Pierre, recalling the fact of leaving some very important papers on his desk is worried and decides to make sure by going back to the office alone to place them in the vault. Arnold Lambert, who is passing that way, observes this move, and his scheming curiosity is aroused. The following morning the loss of the uncut diamonds is discovered, and Arnold Lambert recalls his opportunity of the night before in the presence of the old man at the office and remarks it to Brian. The latter resents the imputation upon the integrity of his hoped-to-be father-in-law, recalling that Mildred said that any sudden shock would be fatal to her father. Meantime Arnold has been spreading the virus of the story through the office and Brian, thinking to save Mildred's father accuses himself of the theft. This is unlooked for and Arnold, now believing she will repudiate the man of her choice in favor of him, 'phones her. Howell, opening his package in a distant city, finds the diamonds, and realizing his mistake, wires the office that he will forward the diamonds at once. Arnold discomforted and crestfallen, is discharged for his disgraceful action in the matter, while Brian rises higher than ever in the esteem of Mildred when she learns of his sacrifice for her father.
