Plot: Grace is out riding on her horse when she has a bad fall and is picked up in an unconscious state by Antonio, the king of a band of gypsies in the neighborhood. From the moment Grace opens her eyes, a feeling of attachment springs up between them, and is followed by many clandestine meetings on subsequent days, when Antonio makes love to Grace, and with his passionate pleading persuades her to leave home. One day, when the time arrives for the gypsy band to leave for other fields, Antonio persuades Grace to run away from home, marry him and join the band. A year later we see the unfortunate girl, forgotten by her husband, living in the gypsy camp. While going for water one morning, she meets a wealthy young fellow, who begs to have his fortune told, but instead Grace tells him the story of her unhappy marriage. The young stranger gives her his card and tells her if she ever needs him to call on him. That same day Antonio is killed by falling over a tremendously high precipice, and grace is driven out of camp. She goes to the home of her new friend who gave her the card, and there she finds that there is to be a reception held that evening, at which her father is to be a guest. Fitted out in new clothes by her kind friend, she meets her father at the reception, but he being a cold man, repulses her, but the host, taking the arm of the poor girl, announces that she is to be his wife, and everything ends happily for all concerned.
