Betty, his particular pride, meets Ned, an artist, from the city, and is soon secretly posing for him. Ned's influence over the girl is greatly increased, when John, the brother, goes to war, and there follows the usual tragedy of a wild, fun-loving young girl, thrown too much in the company of a middle-aged man of the world. Ned, the Lothario, is about to wash his hands of the whole affair and leave for Europe, when Betty makes a last appeal to him and he casts her brutally aside. Then the news comes to the old father, who sends for him and a violent scene takes place, peculiarly pathetic, in the fact that the old man is paralyzed. He demands justice, but the insolent roué laughs in his face and jeers at him and his daughter, until nature rebels and can stand no more. Miraculously, the paralytic's strength returns to him, and he is about to crush the brute under his heel, when his soldier son returns. He saves his father from murder, and at the point of a gun compels the artist to marry his sister. Then they at once leave the scene. Seven years pass and no word comes from Ned. He becomes a cocaine fiend, and has but a short time to live, and now, looking death in the face, he longs to see his child once more and do what he can to redeem the past. As a tramp, he returns to the old village, unrecognized. His one sight of his child and his last good-bye to Betty, to some extent palliates for the past. He goes out of their lives forever, and then it is found he has provided handsomely for the future, and tried at least to straighten out the Page of Yesterday that was so frayed and blotted with sin and shame.
