Love Triumphs (1914)
Dora Armstrong, a trained nurse, is sent by Dr. Wentworth to take care of Mrs. Gordon, an elderly invalid. She meets Mrs. Gordon's son, John, who is a lawyer with an ambition to be District Attorney. John and Dora fall in love, but his selfishness and political ambition come first. For fear that his marriage with a nurse might hurt his political chances he insists that their marriage be a secret one. Dora objects, but John finally wins her over. Later Dora, worrying over her secret and its coming result, tells John that Dr. Wentworth is suspicious of their actions and that they should declare their marriage. John refuses to make announcement and Dora, too proud to tell him her real reason, quarrels with him. She can see but one way out and that is to go away. A letter to Dr. Wentworth tells him that she is going away and he had better send another nurse to Mrs. Gordon at once. The doctor gets into communication with the Gordons and John and his mother are mystified to find Dora gone. John is especially wrought up and his actions in answering the doctor's questions, when he brings another nurse, and his attitude toward the letter the doctor shows him, confirms the learned gentleman's opinion that John knows more than he will tell. Dora goes to a little village where she takes up lodgings with a sympathetic old couple who respect her secret and treat her as one of their own. John's mother dies and all his efforts to locate Dora fail and the duties of his new office slowly undermine his health, and he becomes a changed man. Meanwhile Dora has given birth to a child which is far from healthy and the old country doctor decides to call in a specialist. The specialist turns out to be Dr. Wentworth who, amazed to at last find Dora, learns the whole truth of her marriage. Incensed, he swears to make John pay for his ill treatment, but Dora begs him to let matters rest as they are. Upon his return, John goes to see him regarding the condition of his health and the old doctor seeing a way to mend the broken thread, compels John to go away for a rest and sends him to the town and house that Dora inhabits. He finds the old couple and while they are arranging for his comfort he sees Dora putting her baby to sleep. He makes his presence known and for a moment Dora hesitates, then all the pent-up emotion of the lonesome months bursts forth and she sobs out her love and forgiveness in his arms.
