He is also in love with Helen, but it is evident that Jim is the one preferred. The two men, who are about to leave for war, bid Helen good-bye and go off together. We see the soldiers on their way to battle passing Helen's house. She throws a rose to Jim, waves a parting farewell, then breaks down and weeps. In the camp George attends to the mail and succeeds in interceding all the letters between Jim and Helen, causing each one to believe that they are neglected and forgotten. Flint, while in camp, has a very serious attack of heart trouble and, upon the doctor's recommendation, is granted a three months' furlough. He returns home, where the folks are surprised to see him. He visits Helen, tells of his illness and of his leave of absence. She offers her sympathy and asks for Jim. George then tells her that her letters were received, but Tim ridiculed them and told his comrades that he didn't care for her. Hearing this, Helen is furious and, when George tells of his love and asks her to be his wife, she accents on the impulse of the moment. In due time the wedding takes place, but Helen shows plainly that she is not happy. George, elated over his success in winning Helen, mails a paper with notice of his wedding to Jim. The latter receives it, and, when he sees the notice, breaks down completely. At the close of the war we find the folks at home preparing a royal welcome to the returning soldiers. They arrive, and, when Jim sees Helen, he goes to her and asks why she never wrote him. She declares that she did, but that he never answered her letters. Then Jim realizes that Flint was the cause of their estrangement. He denounces Flint publicly. Helen is also of the same mind, and Flint, in passion, is about to strike her when Jim appears and prevents it. Another attack of heart failure shortly after kills Flint. Six months later Jim calls upon Helen, asks her to be his wife, and, when she accepts him, he fondly embraces her, saying, "Mine at last." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
