Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Kathleen loves Brian. Miles Rorke, a middle-aged farmer, is another suitor; Kathleen’s stepmother favors him because of his prosperity. One night a neighbor, the widow O’Keefe, gives a dance at her cottage and Miles begs Kathleen to go with him. The stepmother urges and finally Kathleen consents. Brian appears at the dance and Kathleen favors him with the dances. The next day Miles goes to Kathleen’s cottage and urges his suit. Brian, who is preparing for a year-long voyage, comes in. The question of Kathleen’s hand is discussed, and she goes to her room, returning with two old rings. She gives one to each of the men and declares that she will in a year from that day marry the man who will first place it on her finger. The year is almost passed and there is no news from Brian. Miles is making preparations for the wedding on the morrow. A fearful storm is raging on the coast and Kathleen goes to Miles’s house and pleads that he shall give her until 12 noon before claiming her. On the fearful morning she goes down to the shore to search the wreckage. Two men watch her as she plunges into the sea and drags a body from the water. Thrusting her hand down the dead man’s breast she finds the ring on a string around his neck. She bids the men to go and tell Miles that Brian has come back and the ring is on her finger.
