He breaks the news to Mr. and Mrs. Daly and their daughter Lottie. They do their utmost to dissuade him from his purpose, but John has made up his mind to go. He gets employment in a department store. Soon he is promoted to a slightly higher position. He has become neglectful of his country friends, and Lottie waits in vain for an answer to her letters. Things have not been going well on the farm. Mr. Daly dies, leaving nothing but a mortgage on the old place. With John everything is fortune. He is promoted to the manager's private office with a chance of advancement. The holder of the mortgage tells Lottie and her mother that they will have to foreclose unless interest is paid. Lottie begs for more time, but finally she and her mother lose the old place and decide to go to the city. They find a room in a cheap lodging house and Lottie starts on her search of work. John, who is popular with everyone, is very comfortable in a pretentious boarding house. Weeks go on and Lottie can find nothing to do because of her inexperience. The landlady duns Lottie and her mother for rent, Lottie desperate, resolves to do something and goes out once more. John in his boarding house has an evening on his hands and falls in with the suggestion of a friend to go to the new dance hall. Lottie, faint from lack of food, leans wearily against the entrance to the dance hall. A girl comes out, takes pity on her and invites her in. After eating the girl explains to Lottie how she can make money by dressing herself in the clothes she is willing to lend her and mingling with the crowd on the floor. Lottie hesitates but finally accepts. She is timid and ashamed, but the dance hall proprietor bluntly tells her what she must do. Lottie still hangs back until the proprietor roughly pushes her out on to center of the floor with the crowd. John without a partner for a moment, sees Lottie, is pleased with her, puts his arm roughly around her waist. She tries to break away, but John tightens his grasp and swings her around and is about to start to dance when they recognize each other. John asks no questions, his only thought being to take her away. The crowd gathers round to see what the trouble is and the dance is broken up. The proprietor angrily upbraids Lottie for spoiling the night's business. John knocks him down and leads Lottie out. Bronson pays the landlady and Lottie gets a position in the office with John who soon discovers that he has loved Lottie and only needs her to make his life happy, and their marriage soon follows.
