She is engaged and makes a big hit. However, she soon discovers that one of the company, Jean Gale, is in love with August, so she quits the organization and takes another engagement. Mr. Moore, a millionaire, is in love with Miss Hawley and begs her to marry him, and she accepts. August reads the notice in the papers. One night August becomes ill before going on the stage and during the performance he faints and is taken home. The doctor who is summoned gives out the report to the papers that his case is serious.
