Jack Northwood and Helen Baer have a lovers' quarrel, and Jack sends her a huge bouquet, in which is placed a penitent plea for forgiveness and a proposal of marriage. In delivery the note works itself into the center of the bouquet and is overlooked by Helen. Jack receiving no reply leaves town, crushes and heartbroken, and is so overwhelmed with grief that he loses all interest in the world and becomes a tramp. Helen cherishes the bouquet as the last gift from her lost lover from whom she has received no word as the years have gone by, and keeps the withered flowers. Passing time finds her a sweet-faced woman, whose glorious hair is becoming tinged with silver. A wealthy man falls in love with her and lays his heart and fortune at her feet, and Helen decides to accept him. Her thoughts naturally turn back to her blighted dream of love, and she takes the flowers out to gaze on them once more before she destroys them. The letter drops out, and she tears it open. As the terrible truth dawns upon her she resolves to remain loyal to her great love, and gently declines the proposal of marriage. In the meantime Jack is overcome with an irresistible longing to gaze on the face of his sweetheart once more, and in tatters and rags hides behind a hedge as she passes, and then wearily takes up his aimless tramping life.
