Andrew returns home a sad man, determined to do all in his power for David's daughter, Angelina, whom he adopts, and in time comes to love as dearly as his own child, Elinor. The years pass, and the two girls, who seem sisters in reality, are approaching womanhood. Elinor and Ralph, who is known as the village flirt, are sweethearts, but her father does not trust the young fellow and forbids his daughter to receive his attentions. She, in order to blind him, plans to have Ralph make love to Angelina. He agrees to this, and later discovers that the foster sister has in reality won his heart. Elinor, surmising this, sends Ralph a note asking him to meet her. This, through chance, falls into the hands of Angelina, and she, to test his fidelity, has it delivered to Ralph. She decides, however, to be an unseen witness at the meeting. Ralph explains to Elinor that his heart is now entirely her sister's and he intends making her his wife. Elinor, realizing her plot has indeed been successful, throws her arms about him and pleads with him not to forsake her. All this is seen by Angelina, though she cannot hear the conversation. She is stunned by the revelation and reproaches Ralph for his perfidy, and refusing to listen to his explanation, rushes away to the shore. Arriving there, she extends her arms appealingly toward the water, begging her father to take her to his home, when to her overwrought mind, she seems to see her father's image rising from the water, urging her to come to him. And she blindly walks through the waves towards him. Ralph, fearing Angelina will be drowned, throws Elinor from him and dashes after his sweetheart. He reaches the shore and rushes into the water, seizes his sweetheart, and bears her safely to land. Here his presence restores her to a normal condition, and, after all is explained, she forgives her lover and promises to be his wife. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
