The Miracle

A pretty picture

This subject, in which the leads are played by Fred Truesdell and Julia Stewart, will interest more especially those religiously inclined, and surely all women, who undoubtedly will classify it as a pretty picture. - The Moving Picture World, August 22, 1914

Phillippe, a hard-hearted but handsome young merchant, woos Anna, a beautiful French Canadian girl and in her hour of need deserts her. Crazed with grief she begs him to protect her name. He casts her off and she is stoned by the women of the village. At the Shrine of Saint Ann where they had plighted their troth, her baby dies and she becomes an outcast. Years later in the same village two lovers are anxious to marry but are told by the priest to wait until the girl is cured of a deformity by a pilgrimage to Quebec. They go to old Phillippe tor the money, but he refuses them. Wandering through the woods they kneel and pray at the image of Saint Ann. A little later Phillippe coming upon the scene of his false vow is confronted by the woman whom he had wronged now old and dying. The meeting is too much for him and he dies. The woman places his gold at the foot of the image and falls across his body. The lovers coming to the shrine find the gold of the wretched Phillippe and believing a miracle has been wrought by their prayers prepare joyously for their pilgrimage to Quebec.
