Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Mrs. Talboys orders a new hat for $149, adorned with beautiful feathers. She tries it on and then goes in to show it to her husband, who almost goes frantic when he hears the fabulous price has to pay for it. Mrs. Talboys decides to go out for a walk through the estate near her home. This estate is the property of Sir Michael McGlug, who is very fond of hunting. Mrs. Talboys stoops down behind some shrubbery and at the same time Sir Michael McGlug alights from his automobile, and thinking the feathers on Mrs. Talboys’ hat are the feathers of a mocking bird, he shoots at her. Mrs. Talboys, overcome by the shock, almost faints, and Sir Michael and his valet help her into the machine. He brings her to his home and immediately they fall in love with each other. Mr. Talboys reads of the incident of the shooting and, believing his wife is dead, he leaves the old home. Mrs. Talboys returns, only to find that her husband is gone. Believing he has deserted her, she consents to marry Sir Michael. A friend of Talboys visits him and Talboys tells him his tale of woe, showing him his wife’s photograph. The friend next visits Sir Michael and recognizes Lady Audley. He rushes to Talboys’ home and tells him of his discovery.
