Alice of the Lake (1915)

Kemp, a clubman, has three months to live. Arriving home from abroad, he finds a letter from an old pal, which reads: "I am passing on. Will you watch over my wild little Alice?" He assumes guardianship over his old friend's beautiful daughter. Arthur, the town scamp, has won Alice's love, and he meets her surreptitiously despite the vigilance of her Aunt Clara, who endeavors to care for and watch over the orphan girl. Kemp soon learns to love Alice, and he suggests to Aunt Clara that if Alice will marry him, even though he has only three months to live, she will be provided for. Arthur learns of Kemp's marriage proposal to Alice. He coaxes her to accept the clubman, telling her that he will marry her after Kemp's death. Following the ceremony, Alice seeks Arthur, and is detected in the action by Kemp, who asks her to respect his name while he is alive. Later, Arthur again seeks Alice, but she has finally realized the sterling worth of her husband and turns from the false to the true love.
