Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms (1912)
All lovers must hold dear in their memory and secret within their hearts the name of Thomas Moore, for perhaps no other singer of sweet songs has played more upon the tender chords in the lovers' litany than the Irish bard, Tom Moore. A famous artist is in search of a model to pose for a picture entitled "In Love," and he finally engages a sweet-faced young girl whose beauty and simplicity capture his heart. One night after a reception at his studio, where the simple model learns of the artist's love for her, a society lady, whose imagination had led her to believe that she would soon become his wife, wakes up to the fact that she has a rival. An accident to the model bids fair to disfigure her for life. Still having faith in her artist lover, she awaits his coming in the hour of her misfortune, but by a ruse of the society lady the model is prevented from knowing that her lover is hastening to her with a famous specialist, and she, poor girl, believes that the loss of her beauty is the cause of his loss of affection, so she flees from her rooms leaving no traces behind her to tell where she is going. After months of searching the artist gives up hope of ever finding her again. She returns thoroughly restored to health and beauty, and on entering his studio she finds him asleep in his chair. Not knowing whether he entertains any further affection for her, she leaves a note upon his table. But fate decides it is never to be read and he burns it up, not knowing that it contains the one knowledge he most longs for. Months afterward they are brought together, and "the heart that has truly loved never forgets, but as truly loves on to the close."
