Ethel returns the lawyer's affection until she goes to Washington to visit her aunt, where she meets Senator Vane. Impressed by the attentions showered upon her, she decides that she cannot go back to the simple home and gives up the man who is struggling at the bottom of the ladder that she may wed the Senator. Lord leaves for the west without learning the name of the man who has taken his life's happiness from him. He becomes popular in his new location and is shortly elected to Congress. Although he is ignorant of Ethel's whereabouts, she has followed him in thought and when she learns of his arrival in Washington, she takes a trip abroad that she may not meet him. During her absence Lord learns that a large bribe has been accepted by Senator Vane. Entirely ignorant of the man's relationship to Ethel, the Congressman secures papers which will convict Vane when the investigation takes place. Ethel returns and finds her husband greatly disturbed, but cannot learn the cause. On the evening before Lord is to hand over his proofs to the committee, Ethel reads an account of the affair in the paper. She is horrified and when she questions her husband he does not deny his guilt. Determined to save her child's name, Ethel steals out of the house and entering Lord's library, succeeds in locating the incriminating papers. As she is about to depart. Lord, mistaking her for a burglar, fires a revolver and slightly wounds Ethel. Ethel asks Lord to call her husband by telephone and the Congressman learns from the servants that the Senator has died of heart failure. Time heals Ethel's wounds of mind and body and we see a rift in the clouds as we discover the lover of her girlhood at her side. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
