A Leap for Love

Arthur Law and Samuel Kingston are both aspirants for the hand of Marguerite Leonard. Kingston, however. is the favored one until he seems to be a coward in the eyes of his sweetheart. He proposes to Marguerite during the progress of a dance at her home. She accepts him and the betrothal is overheard by Law, who in a moment of passion quarrels with Kingston and strikes him. The latter, remembering the respect he owes his hostess, restrains his anger and refuses to retaliate. Cowardice is despised by the pretty Marguerite, and she breaks off the engagement. The rumor of lack of courage reaches his club, and when he arrives there, he is shunned by his fellow members. Marguerite, while on the Brooklyn Bridge with young Law, looks down at the river below and in a flippant mood dares Law to leap over, even with the aid of a parachute. Law is piqued by her dare and tells his friends at the club, who make the attempt interesting for him by putting up a liberal amount of money that he will not do it. Kingston overhears the conversation and arranges to be on the boat the day the leap is made. Law has his parachute on the bridge and he makes the jump successfully. After reaching the water, however, he is seized with a cramp and is within an ace of sinking when Kingston throws off his coat, forgetting the wrong that the drowning man has done him, and leaps to his rescue. They are both pulled up on the boat and when the exhausted man recovers his senses, he apologizes to Kingston, and thanks him for his bravery. Marguerite then realizes her mistake, and knows she cares for him alone.
