All too soon she learns his true nature, and returns to her father. Conyers follows and Matthew Floyd buys his promise to leave the country and never return. John Mellish, a wealthy squire, pays court to Aurora. She loves him but dares not encourage him. Suddenly she learns that her husband is dead in Australia. She marries Mellish, without disclosing the secret of her past. This is her father's advice. Conyers is not dead; he returns from Australia and proceeds to blackmail his wife. First he obtains a post as head of Mellish's stables. Aurora has incurred the enmity of a half-witted stable boy. Conyers sends this lad to the house with a note. Alone in the library, he steals an old muzzle-loading pistol. Aurora, still unnerved by Conyers' sudden reappearance, leaves the note on a table. The housekeeper finds it and takes it to her master. Aurora borrows money from her father and meets Conyers at the trysting place. The halt-wit follows her with murder in his heart, but the sight of the money arouses his cupidity and he shoots Conyers instead. Aurora, hearing the shot, returns and finds Conyers dead. Mellish also hears the shot and discovers his wife kneeling beside the murdered man with the pistol in her hand. Nearby is the marriage certificate of James Conyers and Aurora Floyd. Believing Aurora guilty, Mellish is in despair. At the autopsy it is discovered that the bullet which killed Conyers is a button. Mellish rushes to find Aurora and learns that she is gone. Hunting for her, he enters the lodge and discovers the half-wit chuckling over the money and the waistcoat from which the fatal button was torn. The murderer grapples with him and draws a knife. Mellish is rapidly being overpowered by his antagonist when Aurora, who is in the grounds, hears his shouts and arrives in time to stay the murderer's hand. Explanations follow, and the ruin of Aurora's happiness is forever averted. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
