But this was not so. Isobel was a sort of butterfly. She loved her husband and was true to him, but she liked to be admired by everyone and did not like to sit and wait for her husband to finish his work to take her out, so she went out with other fellows. At first Warburton was very willing that she do this, knowing her love for him and understanding that she just loved society and fun. After a while he grew tired of it and complained to his wife and ordered her not to do it again. While at the office one day, he needed a certain paper which was at home. He hurriedly telephoned his wife to bring the paper to his office. She had something else to do first and did not think about hurrying with the paper. Thus a deal was lost through her lack of interest. When she left the office her husband watched her go from the window and to his amazement, saw her stand and talk with a gentleman on the street and then walk off with him. His jealousy was aroused and he followed. He saw the gentleman walk to the house, and in the door. Had he but known that it was just a friend, or that his wife put him out of the house, when he told her he really eared for her, the troubles of Henry Warburton would have soon been at an end, but he suspicioned his wife instead, and this led to a disagreement and at last to a separation. Too late, Isobel, saw her mistakes of the past; how she really neglected her husband thoughtlessly and what trouble it had brought upon them. She wrote for forgiveness, but was refused. At last driven to desperation, she 'phones to him the last appeal to forgive. He was still hard and unyielding and so with his ear at the 'phone, he heard the answer of her last appeal as it came to her. A shot and all was still after a faint good-bye. Now too late for Warburton, he saw his mistake and was left to go on alone. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
