The Happier Man (1915)
Mary Fuller, a young reporter, envies William Summer, a rich bachelor mine owner, until she learns his story. She is sent to interview him and he confides to her the history of his youth. He and Harry Warden both had loved Lucille Page. Then they went west to prospect for gold, and his own eyes were blinded by dreams of wealth. When the opportunity presented itself for Summer to work a rich claim, which fate brought into his hands, he willingly came to an understanding with Warden, that he should resign to him all claims upon Lucille Page, if his friend cared to go back east to her. For his own part, he would stay and dig a fortune out of the earth. Years later Summer returns a millionaire, to find his former partner happily married to the sweetheart of their youth. In contrast to Warden's, his own life is empty. Mary Fuller learns that there are some joys which great wealth cannot buy.
