Refining Fires (1915)
John, a poor young man with prospects, falls in love with Mary who is penniless and socially beneath him. He dares not marry her for fear of losing his fortune. However, he persuades her to live with him, telling her that when his rich uncle dies they will marry. Mary has occasion to believe that John is tired of her, and leaves him. Weary and ill, she finds in Nina Alstrom, Judge Alstrom's daughter, a friend who takes her into her own home and gradually restores her to health and spirits. John's uncle dies and he comes into the money. As it happens, the young millionaire meets and loves Nina Alstrom, who loves him in return. But John, though he long since has ceased to care for Mary, is haunted by his past. He confesses to Nina that he is not worthy of her love, but that he has determined to lead a clean life in the future. Mary overhears. Leaving a note for Nina, she goes to a convent where she takes the veil.
