The Test of Sincerity (1915)
When the girl he loved proved false, Marvin sought forgetfulness in hard work; the excessive physical labor which dulls the brain. As a hewer of wood on the outskirts of civilization he had begun to forget when fate brought another girl across his path. She was wealthy, and already provided with a suitor. Marvin feared another bitter experience when he discovered her interest in him. Therefore he contrived an unfailing test of sincerity. He shaved off his beard and further disguised himself by altering his manner and the tones of his voice. In this guise he presented himself at her ball as a friend of the woodsman, who was ill. The ruse worked; she cared enough to seek out the man she had known, and wept at the prospect of losing him. Convinced of her sincerity, Marvin no longer restrained his love for her.
