His love is not returned, however, for Mildred has already lost her heart to Frank Dawson, the dashing young son of the millionaire manufacturer, who owns the mill. Through the machinations of Frank's father the match is broken off and Frank is sent away. Mildred's honor is compromised and Ned, in a spirit of generosity and because of his great love for her, offers to marry her to save her name and reputation. Soon after the marriage, Frank's father is killed in an accident. Frank becomes his own master, and knowing nothing of Mildred's marriage to Ned. returns to fulfill his duty by giving her his name. When Ned learns of this, realizing that Mildred can never love him and that Frank Dawson should be her lawful husband, he decides to disappear in order that she may be free to wed again.
