A Soul&apos;s Tragedy

Mavis Green is besieged with admirers, while Nell, her younger sister, who is deformed in body, but beautiful in soul, is neglected and overlooked. During an outing at the beach, their little sister, Clara, falls from a cliff into the sea. In a moment the crippled Nell is after her, but the waves prove too great for her feeble strength. She and the child are about to be lost when Carl Randall, the handsome and athletic suitor of Mavis, dives to their rescue and brings them both safely to shore. Shortly after this, Mavis and Carl announce their engagement. Poor Nell is broken hearted, as she realizes in her lonely soul that she loves Carl, who, in turn looks on her only with pity and kindness. In her unhappiness and isolation, the kindly vicar comes upon her, and reading her soul, tells her that when Nature takes away she also gives, and that great joy will come to her through unselfishness and the talents which she has not discovered in herself. She takes heart from the cleric's consolation, and amuses herself in painting pictures of children and animals. In his chemical laboratory, Randall makes a mistake and in a second there is an explosion which renders him blind and deaf. Mavis shrinks from seeing him, and in his agony he calls for her in vain. Now the gentle Nell sees the opportunity God has given her to soothe the suffering of another, which she, and not Mavis, can understand. She goes to Carl, and he, thinking she is Mavis, is soothed and nursed back to health. With her meager funds, Nell engages a specialist, and during the days while Randall is prepared for the operation which will give him back his health, hearing and sight. Mavis is playing the social butterfly. The operation over and successful, the hunchback steals away, returning with the now repentant Mavis and joins their hands together while Randall lies happy and secure in the belief that Mavis has been faithful. Happiness in her art and in her sacrifice gives a brighter vista to the life of the little hunchback.
