The Woman Who Paid (1915)

For her sake the man leaves his wife, who, on learning the truth, kills herself. "I am done with men like you!" cries the woman of the world, and goes out of his life forever. In a little village she meets a minister, a widower with a little daughter. He asks her to marry him, but before replying she shows him a newspaper account of the tragedy. "I am that woman," she says, and he turns away from her. They do not meet again until his daughter, being seriously ill, the minister visits the woman and asks her to come, as the child keeps calling for her. By the bedside he learns how noble she is, and when the danger is past he again asks her to marry him, but in vain. "I have no right to the happiness I stole from another," she says resolutely.
