He has an invalid mother, and she exacts a promise of her boy to remain with her and soothe her weary progress to the grave. When it is discovered that Frank is not going to war, he is taunted by his comrades; but their taunts avail not. His moral courage rises above it all; he'll stay with his mother. Not understanding or knowing the reason of his action. Vera turns against him for his seeming cowardice, and thus she throws him over, and accepts her old suitor. Don, on the eve of his departure for the front. Now six months later, Frank's mother departed the world in peace, and Frank flew to the service of his fair Virginia State.

In looking over the wound, he found a locket of his sweetheart, and there came to Frank a jealousy born of Satan. The house was struck by a bomb and was soon burning fiercely. He decided then and there to leave his rival to the flames. But he hesitated, his better nature regained the mastery of him, and be seized and carried the stricken man to safety, the Confederate Hospital. There, as if ordained by Fate, Vera was nursing. The heroism of Frank now stood out in bold relief.
