Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Day after day Mary Cooper, the Quaker maid, waited in vain for Elmer Hilton to return and marry her as he had promised on that afternoon when the storm forced them to seek shelter in the deserted hut. She did not know that her lover was desperately ill. When he regained consciousness and urged his mother to bring Mary to him, it was too late; the stern Nathan Cooper had turned his daughter out of the house, and she was lost to sight. Unable to forget her, Hilton sought to temper the misfortunes of others. On his rounds with Dr. Gray, he visited the day nursery and was strangely drawn to one of the children. Eventually he adopted the lad, not knowing it was his own son. Then Nathan Cooper repented and advertised for Mary. With new hope she came to claim her child and was referred to Hilton. After years of separation and suffering the two met again and were happy at last.
