Jack Winter, a young lawyer, had a nice house built for his beloved. The old people who lived next door, congratulated Jack upon the house. When Jack’s betrothed came to inspect the home, she did not like it. Then she threw Jack over and married a wealthy suitor. This incident crushed Jack completely, and he left the place and town. Two years later a young girl by the name of Katherine Wilson, visited the old people. She heard the story of the deserted cottage. One day she got into the house and managed to clean it thoroughly. A short while after some tramps dropped a match in the house, which set fire to it. Katherine saw the flames, and together with the old folks, put the fire out. The old people sent Jack a letter, telling him about the fire and the girl. He came and found the fair one cleaning the house. The seed of love soon entered their hearts and a short while afterwards the cottage was occupied by them.
