As the years go by the artist achieves distinction, and the maiden becomes the wife of a millionaire merchant--with very little romance in his composition, but thoroughly devoted to his young and beautiful bride.
Seven years later the artist (who has been received as a valued friend of the family) is commissioned to paint the wife's portrait--and the old love re-asserts itself.

For a while the issue is problematical; but stability of character conquers, and the ending is quite as the heart would wish.
The book also contains an article by the noted author, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, pointing out the strong moral to be deduced.
It contains 190 pages, printed in large, clear type on best quality of book paper, with eight half-tone illustrations from the play.

Price, handsomely bound in cloth, 50 cents, net, postage 10 cents additional; bound in paper covers, 25 cents, postpaid.
For sale by booksellers and newsdealers everywhere, or sent by mail upon receipt of price.
