He becomes infatuated with a country girl of intense love nature and splendid womanhood, one lacking knowledge of the world and experience in life. When her feeble insight into character and motive is pitted against his superior intelligence and that long practice in the craft of heartbreaking that enables a handsome gentleman in uniform to practice a form of enchantment with such women, the result is easily foreseen. He makes a pastime of her unqualified love and trust. There is no limit to her faith when he is commanded by his general to join his troop in Tripoli, no attempt at consolation during his absence. For such creatures love is eternal. She seeks to elevate herself by work during his absence and thus drifts into the service of a wealthy family. She becomes endeared to them by the very simplicity of character which proved to be a source of weakness when her strength was measured against that of the charming young officer. The young lieutenant wins a medal for bravery in service and the interest of his commanding officer besides. The latter introduces him into the very family where the country girl has become almost a household member. The head of the family is a splendid type of father with a priceless treasure, a daughter of physical attraction with cultivation added. Backed by his commanding officer, the general under whom he won military honors, the lieutenant wins the daughter and becomes engaged to her. His conduct in the field has covered investigation of his honor as a private gentleman. The daughter to whom he is engaged one day tells the country girl of her coming happiness and shows the picture of the man she is to wed. The country girl has just come into the drawing room with some flowers, and the father of the young bride-elect and the general are near at hand. A high scene follows, in which silence is eloquent. Every emotion from the first stunning effect of the announcement to the last and vital shock that robs her of consciousness is portrayed by the simple and loving creature who has been wronged. The revelation that follows is as innocent as that of the betrayed girl's collapse. The effect of it upon the father and the general is correspondingly profound. Their conduct when the young lieutenant appears is a tribute to real manhood. They combine to force the issue in a few dramatic episodes, compelling the young officer to recognize rights lightly disregarded as a rule and bring about a union with the simple girl who was his first and natural choice.
