Full Plot Details

Peter Desman was the guardian of Gladys Weston. By a series of unlucky speculations he had lost the fortune of his ward. Then weeing that he was ill with an incurable disease, and that death could not be far off, he wrote a letter to his nephew, Lieutenant Arthur Desman, in which he expressed the wish that the lieutenant marry Miss Weston, and thus save her from being left penniless. The lieutenant answered the letter in person and met Gladys. Now Gladys was little more than a child and she was full of life and vivacity. It has been said that "boys will be boys." In the case of Gladys, it was true that "girls sometimes will be tom-boys." Gladys did not meet the lieutenant with downcast eyes and blushes. On the contrary he thought her rather too boisterous and after she had played several tom-boy tricks on him and his opinion was very materially strengthened. He did not look forward with pleasure to a life time spent with a wife who might be continually amusing herself at his expense. However, he yielded to the entreaties of his uncle and consented to an engagement to Gladys. After he had placed the ring on her finger, he left for duty in the Philippines. There he remained for three years. While he was gone Gladys passed through those years of development in which she turned from the noisy girl into a charming young woman. The lieutenant soon after his return attended a ball. There he met Gladys and did not recognize her. However, he fell in love with her at once. Remembering his previous engagement he wrote a note and addressed it to Gladys Weston, telling her that he had met another young woman and wished to be released. Then the identity of the two girls was revealed to him and of course the wedding bells ring.
