She meets wealthy settlement worker Rose Allen and tells her the whole story. Rose begs Lizzie to give Tom up, pointing out the right and wrong of the matter and telling her she can understand how hard it is as she too loves a married man but has sent him away from her. Lizzie regards Rose as almost a saint, and promises to send Tom away. Tom buys tickets for the West, and begs Lizzie to go with him that night. She refuses, and sends him away from her, but her love proves too strong, and she calls him back. Lizzie prepares to leave with him, but first goes to say goodbye to Rose and tell her she cannot live without Tom. While he waits on the corner, Lizzie enters the house. She expects Rose to beg her not to go with Tom, but instead, Rose says the man she loves has returned, and she is going with him that night. Lizzie is horrified, and seeing all that such a step would mean to Rose, begs her not to go, saying they will be strong and fight out the battle together. Outside, the two men grow tired of waiting. Brent thinks Rose has changed her mind after all, Tom is sure she has persuaded Lizzie to throw him over, and the two men disappointedly go their separate ways. The girls, looking from the window and seeing the men are gone, burst into sobs. Although there is such a tremendous difference in their stations in life, the sorrow of unrequited love has made them sisters, and each comforts the other, hoping that time will heal their heart-wounds and enable them to forget. They both live to rejoice in their decision. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
