Nell, a fisherman's daughter, has given her promise in marriage to Jim, a young fisherman. A strong affection springs up between her and the child of some summer cottagers, and when little Ruth is taken violently ill, Nell nurses her back to safety. In gratitude, Dean Ronalds, Ruth's older brother, insists that Nell attend a select school in the city at his expense. She refuses, but Jim, thinking only of Nell's advantage, persuades her to accept. On completing the school course, Nell learns that her benefactor is in love with her. But she rejects his offer of marriage and returns to Jim. Her old sweetheart discovers that Nell really loves Ronalds, but that a mistaken sense of honor bids her remain faithful to her first affection. Jim goes to Ronalds and explains the sacrifice he is about to make, which Nell must never know. Then he tells the girl that he is going away to marry another woman, and leaves her to the man of her heart's choice. - Moving Picture World, October 1914
