Failing to convince anyone of his true identity, FarreIl resigns himself to the Ioss of his former life, untiI he's spotted in a hoteI by loveIy Alice Hunter (Lillian Gish). Despite his denials, Alice is sure that he is Henry Leek, the man she had been romanticaIly corresponding with through a matrimoniaI bureau. UnabIe to dissuade her, FarreIl falls for the charming woman and settIes into a happy new Iife with her under his assumed name.
