The Evil We Do (1914)
Marie Sanford is a beauty in a little village by the sea, but not of the good fairy kind. She ensnares the hearts of old Captain Halsey's sons, Jack and Tom, having engaged herself to both. Each boy is proud in his conquest until they come to an exchange of confidences when they are returning from a successful trip on their fishing smack. A wild fight follows the revelation. In the scrimmage, the oldest boy goes over the rail. The young one, relenting, dives to his rescue, but both are drowned in the struggle that ensues. Mourning the dual loss, old Captain Halsey loses his mind. Of course, he loses his position and authority. The fishing company with which he was associated, sends a new manager to the little town, and the giddy, thoughtless Marie, who has been branded by tragedy, immediately falls in love with him, and he, of the flirty sort, co-operates readily. About the time that the scheming Marie feels she is safe in the love of the new man of power and sees her way clear to affluence and a fireside of her own, he receives a telegram, the contents of which the village gossips are soon apprised, which falls into Marie's hands, telling him to return at once, as he is the father of a new baby boy. The power for evil gets a blow that quite crushes her. The boys that she had lured by her charm to their death are a haunting memory; so that she, heartless and thoughtless, is left alone to sorrow in the shadow.
