Full Plot Details

Flo and Owen met at the seashore and it was a case of love at first sight, but Flo for some reason unknown to Owen would not consent to become his wife, no matter how hard he urged her to do so. Finally she gave in, but only after his solemn promise never to ask of her any of her past history. To this Owen readily consented, so eager was he to make her his wife, and he wrote his servants to open up the summer home, as he was bringing home a new mistress for them. They were delighted and greeted Flo with the same love they had for their master. Now it happened that Flo's father had been a convict and this was the "dark past" that she hid from Owen. Had he known this, what hours of trouble it would have saved her. Owen had a chum, George, with whom he used to go gunning. It was while these two were hunting that a man spoke to Flo. She recognized him as a former acquaintance of her father's. He, being in poor circumstances and having fallen to low depths, threatened to expose her father's misdeeds if she did not give him some money. She readily consented to his request and he left her. Many times he did the same thing and sometimes when she used to sit and talk over the day's luck with her husband and James she was on the impulse of telling them of the intruder, but each time changed her mind. She gave him her rings and pin until finally she decided that the next time the man accosted her she would do as she had so long intended doing. One morning she was walking along the path when he stepped up and asked for more money. Just as he was talking she heard her husband coming up the path and shoving him into the shed where all the tools were kept she shut the door. Owen, coming up and mistaking her looks of fright for that of sickness, made her go to the house and lie down. Seeing her comfortable once again, he returned to where he had left James when he found his. wife. They were joking as to whose fault it was that they never caught anything and soon it was made into a bet as to who would hit the bull's-eye. Putting a piece of paper upon the shed door, they in turn fired. In the meantime, Flo, tired of the deceit and of the villainy of the blackmailer, derided to tell Owen all, even if it cost her her happiness, and rising from the couch she went outdoors just as Owen fired at the bull's eye. Flo gave a scream, ran to the shed, opened the door where she had hidden the man who had caused her all her unhappiness and found that the shot had struck him and he lay dead on the floor, showing her husband where the shot had struck and explaining to him why he was in there. Owen took his wife in his arms to protect her.
