A middle-aged scientist, on a vacation in the country, meets and falls in love with a young girl, the only daughter of a widow, who is an invalid. The widow, knowing that her life is near an end, hopes to see her daughter settled happily before she dies, and heartily approves of the scientist, partly because of her mother's advice, the girl consents to marry, and the ceremony is performed while the invalid is on her deathbed. In her new home, the girl is happy, but finds that her life is a lonely one. Her husband is wrapped up in his profession, and while he loves his wife dearly, she is not all in all in the world to him, and sometimes she feels that she is neglected. So she welcomes the appearance of a young man, son of one of her husband's old friends, and on his part the acquaintance speedily ripens into love. The wife is too innocent to realize it, the husband immersed in his studies, does not know it, and the only person who sees that the couple are in danger Is a faithful old servant of the scientist. This man finally determines to call the husband's attention to affairs. While the young people are in the garden, he induces the scientist to look out of the window. The husband sees his wife being embraced by the son of his old friend. He drops the curtain with a groan. Had he waited a moment, he would have seen that his wife indignantly spurned the attention of the man, and ordered him from the place, never to return. But all that the husband saw was what seemed to convince him that his girl wife loved another, a younger and handsomer man. Then he considered what to do. Humbly, he decided that perhaps the mistake was his own, and that the wife's happiness must be secured under any and all circumstances. So he decided to eliminate himself in such a manner that his death would seem to be a natural one, and so that the wife, without scandal, could wed the man he thought she loved. So he tells the wife that he is going abroad on business, and she does not suspect anything. But later the old servant receives a letter from his master, telling him he has deliberately gone to a section of the tropics, which is practically death for white men, and that be hopes and indeed knows, that he will never return. The servant is warned that the wife must never know, but his tears give an inkling of his secret. Finally she sees the letter, and is horror stricken at the error of her husband. Losing no time she posts after him, finds him sick and apparently dying, and convinces him that the only man she does love, or ever did love, is himself. Joy aids his recovery, and in time he is able to return home, with the faithful wife who had nursed him back to health. Each saw that they had been somewhat to blame, and that too much science is sometimes as bad as too much flirtation. So they adapted themselves to each other's ways, and went through life as partners, without secrets from each other, or misunderstandings.
