She was the favorite at the dance hall, and one of her admirers, a man of wealth, had been very persistent in his attentions, but the girl sought a man different from those whom she has met. Some time later she was knocked down by an automobile which did not stop, and she was rescued by a stalwart young man, who carried her to the nearest hospital. He was the keeper of a lighthouse on a distant island. Ever since the death of his parents he had led a solitary existence tending the light. During the girl's illness the young man called to see her, and soon he began to feel that the lighthouse would be much more cheerful with two instead of one, while the girl realized that she had grown to love her new friend. She did not tell him of her past life, but when questioned as to what she did for a living, the young man was informed that she worked in a store. They were soon married and all went along happily for months until the wife's dance hall admirer chanced to come to the island. He recognized her and told the husband all. The wife did not deny the accusation, and pleaded with her husband to forgive, but he remained obdurate, and told her to leave his home immediately. She did and found refuge in the hut of a fishing couple on the mainland. The husband's grief over the breaking up of his home was hard for him to bear, and one fateful morning he went to the mainland, met bad companions and took to drink. The effect of the liquor made him drowsy, and he fell asleep. When he awoke it was evening, and his wife's former admirer was standing near him. The man of the world chanced to enter the saloon, saw the sleeping man and remarked that the lighthouse is dark tonight. The lighthouse keeper realized the meaning of his words in a flash and rushed out of the saloon. As he reached the beach a remarkable thing occurred. For the great light, at first dark, suddenly became illumined and cast its rays in all directions across the sea. Someone had taken his place. The truth was learned when the lighthouse keeper reached the island. His wife, despised and cast off, had risked her life, swam to the island and kindled the light. She was asleep, exhausted from her great task, as the man entered the lighthouse, but awoke as he kneeled beside her and a reconciliation followed. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
