Plot: It was quite natural that Angela and Richard should be engaged. They have been sweethearts since childhood. Angela, who loved nature, purchases a canary from a bird vendor. When she discovered the bird to be blind, she seeks out the vendor. He explains that all birds are blinded purposely, as they sing better thus. She becomes furious and has the vendor arrested. Her brother, George, an attorney, prosecutes the case and the vendor is severely punished. Then fate took a hand. The day was set for the wedding. Everything was in readiness. An accident cost Angela her eyesight. Would Richard forget he had asked her to become his wife? She was blind, never to see light again. But with all she found herself strangely happy with the canary as her only companion. Richard's ardor had cooled of late. But one evening he was at her home playing chess with George. She stole softly down the stairs and found her way to the piano. When the music reached Richard's ear, he came quietly to her side and said, "It is I who am blind; I love you."
