He entreats her to leave her native village with him and she, unsuspecting, consents. She bids adieu to her old home and meets him. Reflecting she asks him to promise to marry her and he refuses, insulting her. She bids him leave her; but it is too late for her to turn back. She goes to the city to hide her shame and there meets him in company with his wife and two children. She confronts him and is rudely thrust aside. She endeavors to secure employment and is found by Donald Rose, a young minister, to whom she pours out her story and is taken to his home and acts as amanuensis. There is a meeting of the trustees of the church and George Mortimer, a member, enters. He sees Alice. When the minister has left the room he tells the members that Alice is a wanton and the minister is firmly but politely requested to dispense with her services. Alice overhears and is grand in her indignation, made desperate by persecution. She addresses the members of the committee and challenges them. It has its effect, although Mortimer is not exposed. The following Sabbath Donald Rose, the pastor, preaches a powerful sermon on sinning and the betrayal of women. Mortimer is in the congregation and he is overcome with remorse and leaves, going into the pastor's study adjoining, where he falls limp and dies. He is found by the minister and Alice and his wife. The story closes with the man of God taking the persecuted young girl in his arms and asking her to be his wife, and she consents. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
