In this town resided a young lumber merchant, who, like the naval lieutenant, was in love with the girl. He proposed marriage, but she was quick to let him know that he was not the right man. In spite of woman being the judge, he thought her wrong and became jealous. Through the long hours of many days, the girl waited until the furlough of the naval lieutenant would begin. Finally he arrived in town for a short stay and their marriage was quietly arranged. The lumber merchant, being a friend of the young officer as well as the young girl, was selected for best man. A fire took place in the lumber yards and the young naval, officer was told that his friend, the merchant, was within one of the burning buildings. The officer entered the building, intending to rescue his friend, but instead was overcome by smoke and carried out of another part of the building. The lumber merchant, it so happened, escaped all injury. The naval officer was taken to a hospital. Then the lumber merchant was told that the officer had entered the building to save him and was probably burned to death. When no trace of the officer could be found, this young man began to scheme. Jealousy controlled him and he sent word to the girl and her family that the young officer had been burned to death. He instructed all his men to keep quiet. One of the fellows in his employ secretly told him that the officer was not burned to death, but was in the hospital. Then the young rascal cautioned the man against uttering a word about the affair, after which he made his way to the hospital. There he found the officer unconscious. In the girl's home everything was in readiness for the wedding. The news came of the dark disaster and then the young merchant himself arrived and told the sad tidings, that the lieutenant had perished. She heard the news. Immediately and mercifully Fate robbed her tortured thoughts. She forgot, knew not and naught. Some days went by and the young man realized that he had wrecked the girl's life and robbed her of a happiness which was rightfully hers. His thoughts tortured him. He was repenting. Every morning she dressed in her bridal attire and waited for four o'clock and her loved one. But four o'clock never came, for they always turned the clock back and made a liar of time. The lieutenant recovered and in the newspaper he saw an account of his own death. As sick as he was he surprised the doctor by jumping from the couch and dressing to go to the girl. Just then the repentant man came to confess. The lieutenant heard him not, but absolutely forced him to go bring the girl and tell her he was all right. The hospital officials did not know the importance of the man's confession and forced the man to do as the patient bid. The fellow brought the girl to the bedside of the man she was to marry. She stood there smiling at him and glancing from one to another, her mind gone forever. The young man knelt before the lieutenant and made a complete confession of what he had done and it was only the prompt interference of the hospital attendants that prevented a murder on the scene. Things went along for a time and doctor after doctor could do nothing for the girl. The cause of all the trouble decided on a plan and worked it. The girl's home was arranged as on the day of the lieutenant's arrival. The bandages were taken from the lieutenant's scarred face and he was attired again in Uncle Sam's uniform and approached the house with traveling bag in hand. The lieutenant approached just as before and the girl recognized him. He was taken into the house with his arms around the girl and they went into the room which was decorated for the wedding. Then all returned to her mind. The man who was responsible was brought back into the friendship of the family and pitied; thus everything ended happily.
