She is delighted and looks forward to the meeting with pleasure. Everything is new to her and she is in jubilant spirits. There is a company of soldiers quartered in the vicinity and their handsome uniforms have an attraction for the girl. Captain Platen, in command, is a gay young officer who delights in a conquest of women. He is older, much more experienced than Mona and when they meet the girl is genuinely impressed. To the officer the affair is of only passing moment as he finds time hanging heavily on his hands. They meet often and the officer makes violent love to the girl. Their meetings are secret and the girl enjoys it. Mona has promised the captain a photograph of herself and he calls one night at an unseemly hour and is admitted into her apartments. The next morning the girl is filled with remorse at her rash act. She returns home and. on the eve of her arrival, meets Lieutenant Sedorf, a handsome and honest young officer. He rescues her from the insults of a rough character and for the second time Mona falls in love to intuitively know that she has met the one man in the world. Their love affair is open and with the sanction of her parents and the young couple are happy. They plan a home and all is expectation. In an evil hour Lieutenant Sedorf visits his friend, Captain Platen, the former lover of Mona. In looking about the apartment of the captain, Sedorf discovers a picture of Mona and recognizes it instantly. Sedorf is livid with rage. He inquires as to how the photograph of his fiancée came into the possession of his host. The captain shrugs his shoulders and tells him the original is only one of his many conquests. Sedorf is furious and striking his friend with a whip he carries rushes from the room. In the meantime Mona is with the modistes who are preparing her wedding trousseau. She has just adjusted the bridal veil and is cavorting about the room when Sedorf enters. She goes to him with outstretched arms, but he repulses her angrily. He has the picture and he shows it to the girl and demands an explanation. She is speechless and he throws her from him. Finding tongue she then tries to explain, but he will not listen. She is an unclean thing and he casts her off with a fierce denunciation. The girl swoons and for many days hovers between life and death. When she recovers slightly her parents again send her to the friends in the country. One night she arises in her sleep and again enacts the scene with Lieutenant Platen on the night he came to her room. A friend, a minister, follows her and is a witness to the scene. His mind is relieved. Mona is more sinned against than sinning. The minister goes to Lieutenant Sedorf and compels him to listen to his strange story. He tells it all and his listener is surprised and elated. Sedorf goes to Mona and humbly asks her forgiveness, which is freely given and they are once more happy.
