However, she is very romantic and her head is full of ideals, gained by reading numerous romantic books. John the farm hand has induced Mary to promise to marry him. Mary is out reading one day, when Donald Belmar, on a hunting trip from the city, comes across her. He flirts with her and she sees in him her ideal of the books. She listens to his flatteries and is very much smitten with him. Arthur, a small boy, sees the flirtation and informs John. John arrives on the scene just as Belmar is kissing Marv. John assaults Belmar, nearly chokes him to death. Belmar goes away and John takes Mary home, Mary refusing to speak to him. The next day Mary received a letter from Belmar telling her how happy he was while with her and inviting her to come to the city to visit him. This she decides to do, and in the night leaves home. She arrives in the city and the next day goes to Belmar's home. To her surprise, she discovers that Belmar is married, and that she has been deceived. She returns home, but her father orders her from the house. There being nothing left to do but commit suicide, she journeys to the river and decides to end her life.
