The Better Part

Lawrence, the son of wealthy parents meets Miriam on a highway. He is attracted by her beauty and sweetness and upon a second meeting, invites her to the county fair. While they are taking in the exhibits, some of the playful rubes begin throwing confetti and some of it is thrown into Miriam's eyes. Lawrence takes her home. The country physician is called. He recommends a specialist he sent for. Lawrence persuades Miriam and her mother to allow him to assume the expense. He then goes home and tells his father of his love for Miriam. The father angrily dismisses him. The specialist arrives. Miriam's eyes are bandaged with the strict command that the bandage should not be removed for three days if she is to regain her sight permanently. Larry, the following day, is thrown from his horse over the edge of a cliff. He grabs hold of some small shrubs and hanging there calls for help. Miriam hears Larry's call and gets up frightened, and gropes her way out of the house. As she draws closer to the place from which the cries had come, she listens intently for a repetition of the cry for help. In great anguish she snatches the bandage from her eyes, sees Larry, grasps his arm and calls for help. Larry's father, walking down the road, hears her call and rushes to the scene, and he and Miriam together pull Larry up to safe ground. The father turns and calls to Miriam. She turns in the direction of his voice and staggers toward him, for she has become totally blind. The father, realizing the terrible sacrifice she has made for his son, goes to her, takes her in his arms and gives her to Larry and though blind, she snuggles contentedly in Larry's arms.
