- The famous specialist was grave as he gave his verdict. His patient must go to California if she wished to regain her health. The proposed trip to the land of perpetual summer seemed a great treat to his youthful patient, but her older sister, who was to accompany her, realized fully the fight that had to be made before health was won back for the invalid. In California the younger girl soon regained her strength, and she and her sister prospered on their little farm. Love came to the older girl in the person of a young, manly farmer. She cared for him, although she admitted it to no one, and as for him, one look into his eyes was enough, but she had "little sister" to consider, and gave him no opportunity to speak his mind. The younger girl thought that the many presents of flowers and fruit which the farmer brought were intended for her alone, and, being of a very romantic temperament, mistook a passing fancy for the farmer for love. She told her secret to her sister, and the older girl, accustomed to making sacrifices for the younger, made the greatest one in her life, when she refused the farmer's proposal of marriage. Then in her diary, where she recorded the events of each day, she wrote that she had refused the man she loved, although it nearly broke her heart, because her little sister loved him. "Big Sister" had gone on an errand to a nearby town when the younger girl accidentally found the diary, and curiosity led her to open it. She read the pathetic entry, realized the love which had prompted the sacrifice, and resolved to be worthy of it. She went to the farmer and told him why he had been rejected, then leaving a note of farewell to her sister she took the train for the East and returned to her relatives. As for the older girl, she did not refuse her lover a second time. She married him and they were very happy. And her sister in the East later met the man of her choice, and never regretted the action which had won her sister's respect and gratitude.—Moving Picture World synopsis
