Her Sacrifice (1914)

Tom, a fisherman, and his sister live in a quiet village by the seashore. Kitty lives with her dad in a neighboring cottage, while Bill, the sweetheart of Kitty, earns his living by fishing with Tom and Kitty's dad. Bill and Kitty are engaged to be wed and the happiness of the young lovers is unclouded until suspicions are aroused that Bill has won the simple heart of Tom's little sister, who has returned his passion without a thought of the consequences. The little fisher-maiden becomes horror stricken when she discovers the consequences of her love with Bill, and beseeches him to protect her from the village gossip by making her his wife. Bill's affair with the little fisher-maiden has been a pastime, for he dearly loves Kitty. Tom discovers the facts in the case and attempts to take the life of Bill, but Kitty interferes, prevents the penalty of revenge and resigns her sweetheart to the little fisher-maiden, while her own heart is torn with anguish. Bill, realizing the full consequence of his unmanly treatment of the little fisher-maiden, returns to her, begs forgiveness and they are married.
