The story
“Pauline, a mountain girl, wearies of the monotonous life in the wilds. She persuades her mother to let her go down into the valley to try her fortunes in a factory town. Pauline, fresh, pretty and energetic, has no difficulty in getting work. Before long, she meets Mrs. Grosvenor, a society woman, who invites her to her home, and makes much of her. The girl is enchanted with her new life. Pauline is included by her rich friend in an automobile party, of which the owner of the factory, George Waterman, is a member. Though the girl is too innocent to see that Mrs. Grosvenor is in the confidence of Waterman, a man who is fascinated by every pretty face he meets, she has strange misgivings after she has accepted the invitation. As they are about to start, she seems to see her mother standing in the cabin door, calling to her. Pauline refuses to go. Waterman drops his veneer of gentility, showing all too plainly his brute nature. The girl makes her escape back to her old home. There she is wooed and won by an old sweetheart, with whom she lives happily all her life.”
