His Soul Mate (1915)

Albert Maynard thinks he is in love with two coquettes, one as great a flirt as the other. His stenographer, Nellie, is truly in love with him, but she realizes the hopelessness of it when she sees he is determined to marry either Dolly or Polly. At an afternoon tea he meets both girls and tries to figure out to which one he will give the engagement ring which he has with him. It is first Polly and then Dolly that takes his attention, and finally with one on each side of him he is even in a greater quandary than ever. That night he has a dream. He imagines that he marries Dolly, only to lose her. Polly's sympathy leads to a second marriage, but eventually she goes over the great divide as well. His stenographer, Nellie, fails to appear one morning, and he learns that she. too, has passed beyond. Broken down with his sorrow he fights on, but a little while later his soul leaves his body and goes to meet his wives in heaven. He is admitted with sympathy and starts on his search. First, among the many white-robed figures along the way, he finds Dolly, only to learn that she is the soul mate of the man that is with her. He seeks out Polly with a sinking heart and finds that she too is not his mate, but the affinity of another man. Discouraged, he pleads for knowledge as to who really is his soul mate, and they point to a far-off cloud. There he finds Nellie, and also discovers that he can be very happy with her. He wakes and the next morning goes to the office with the feeling that Nellie's kisses are still on his lips. It does not take him long then to find out how much she does love him and to realize that after all she really was the one he loved from the beginning.
