The One Forgotten (1915)

Grant Allen, off to the woods to recuperate, bids good-bye to his neighbor, Louise Sumner. In the woods he falls in with John Orten, a trapper, who has a lovely daughter, Marie. Falling in love with Marie, he marries her, and remains with the trapper. As time passes, he begins to long for the city life. Summoned home on important business, he bids farewell to his wife, and departs, never to return. In the city he becomes infatuated with Louise, who is not aware of his marriage. The following summer Louise, with a party of friends, goes on a camping trip to the same locality. Separated from her friends, she comes across a newmade grave, with a young woman strewing flowers on it. It is Marie, who has recently buried her baby, named after its father. Louise reads the name, and, by skillful questions, confirms her suspicions. She persuades Marie to go home with her, and there brings Grant Allen unexpectedly face to face with his wife. In an agony of shame he implores Marie's forgiveness, and takes his wife to his arms. Though lured by the city into temporary forgetfulness, he has never really loved another woman.
