They have a serious quarrel over Dave Brower, one of her friends, and Darrel leaves for the west. Later, Helen, giving up all hope of his ever returning, marries Brower, who has persistently courted her. After their marriage, he goes back to his gay life and boon companions, going the pace that kills. He robs his employers, is discovered and appeals to Helen to help him out. She decides to sell Darrel's engagement ring which is still in her possession. Darrel comes east, looking for financial backing to continue the mining project in which he is interested. Darrel tries in vain to raise the necessary funds. Helen learns of his hopeless efforts, also that her husband is unfaithful to her. She then determines to help Darrel, pawns the ring and sends him the money anonymously. When she accuses Brower of his treachery, he ignores her approaches and asks for money. She defies him, saying, "I raised the money, but you'll never get it." He angrily throws her to the floor, where she lays unconscious. Thinking he has killed her, he ends his life. Darrel goes west and prospers. He learns that the antique ring is to be sold at auction and returns east to buy it. Helen also goes to the sale, unknown, and later saves him from being robbed. He discovers the whereabouts of his benefactor, but she refuses to see him. They agree to marry after he promises not to look upon her face until they are man and wife. After the wedding, he learns her identity and both are overjoyed, feeling they owe their reunion to the quaint old ring. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
