- Love with a romance is by far more interesting than the ordinary article. While the romantic part of it is not always intentional it is undoubtedly desirable, so, when the hero, Jack, son of a wealthy and eminently aristocratic father, finds himself in love with the heroine, a chorus girl, we find ourselves interested in the story. The young girl is of irreproachable character, poor but ambitious to make her way in life and succeed in her chosen profession. She applies to a prominent manager for a chance to show her ability to act, and she impresses him very favorably, but he cannot give her the desired opportunity. She leaves her name and address with him for future reference. The manager is a personal friend of Jack's father, and while visiting him Jack comes in and the conversation turns to the stage. Jack mentions his acquaintance with the young chorus girl; the manager takes her card from his pocket, saying she had applied to him for a position and he had found her a very capable and charming young lady. Jack declares his love for her and his "dad" proclaims his objections to actresses in general and chorus girls in particular. The father goes to see the girl and induces her to give up his son, and he suggests that she can secure the boy of his love for her by assuming drunkenness when he and the son call on her by the father suggesting to the son that he would like to meet the young lady and see for himself the sort of a person she is. She reluctantly gives her word that she will do it, hoping her loss will be Jack's gain. The son joyfully and readily consents to his father's going to visit his sweetheart, feeling assured he will be won by her personality. At the fathers request his friend the manager as invited to accompany them. Word is sent to the girl that they will call to see her. She receives the note. With breaking heart she summons all her fortitude to her aid to give up the man she dearly loves and prepares to make herself objectionable to him. Her visitors arrive; the son is shocked and disgusted when he sees the girl apparently in a beastly state of intoxication. He silently leaves the room with his father. The manager lingers long enough to tell her she is a great actress and offers her a position in one of his companies. The father will supplement it with a present of money. Jack overhears their conversation, discovers the deception which has been played upon him, and determines to have the girl in opposition to everything and everybody. The father and the manager go at once to see the girl. She spurns their offers of money and contract. She has lost more than fame and fortune in the loss of Jack and his love. At this moment Jack enters, tells her he knows all, and asks her to be his wife. She replies, "Not until your father gives his consent." The old gentleman is only too willing that his son should marry a woman who had acted not only well by nobly, and readily places her hand in the hand of his son, adding his blessing to his consent.

- Nell, the Mexican girl, trusted Ned, the young prospector. She trusted him with her honor and all that a woman holds sacred. She loved him. He was young and rash, but not bad at heart and he did not weigh sufficiently the seriousness of his relationship with Nell. Joe, Ned's partner, loved Nell too. He was an older, saner man than Ned, and in a spirit of noble-sacrifice, held back and encouraged the young folks in their love. But youthful love is sometimes impatient and that impatience conquered the discretion of Nell and Ned, and when the girl realized what she had done, she pleaded with Ned to marry her and save her honor. He bade her wait until he could take her back to his people in the East. Jose, Nell's brother, overheard the girl's plea and challenged Ned for an explanation. They were about to clash in combat when Joe interposed and learned the strained condition of affairs. He sent the Mexican on his way and broken-hearted, told his young comrade that they must part. This blow was terrible to Ned, for he loved Joe better than a brother, but his plea was in vain. Joe left all the gold to Ned, save one nugget and went away. No sooner had Joe gone than Jose stole in upon Ned and killed him. When Nell learned of her lover's death, she ran distractedly to his side and hysterically pleaded with him to come back to life and save her honor. A ranger found her beside the body and took her to her home. Jose confessed his crime and was arrested. Poor Nell was turned away from her home disgraced. A kindly neighbor took her in and reduced to an outcast, as subject of pity and charity, she began to pine her young life away. After a week of terrible suffering, she could stand it no longer and going to the grave of Ned, she bade him good-by and seeking a secluded spot, was about to plunge a knife into her heart, when she discovered before her the " Shrine of Lourdes." A new spirit entered her heart, and looking out across the desert, she saw the Mission blazing white in the sun, beckoning her to come, where rest was waiting. The Mother Superior took her in and the doors of the Mission closed on the suffering of the world. Then is was that Joe returned, and learning of the tragedy of his young companion, he sought the grave. Nell was there in the garb of a man strewing the grave with flowers. The Mother Superior was with her. Joe pleaded with her to give up her seclusion and come with him, but the Mother turned her away and led her back to the Mission. Joe followed, pleading for his love, but the church had taken the girl to the solacing comfort of its bosom. The big oaken doors closed up on Nell, and brokenhearted, Joe turned back to struggle on alone in the world.
