Ruth Demarest, and in a spirit of fun they break a wishbone. They make a compact whereby each is to preserve a portion of the wishbone and return it, should love fall. Norman meets with great success in the city and his stenographer, Louise Borden, a bright, vivacious young woman, falls deeply in love with him. Norman tells her of his love for Ruth and shows her the portion of the wish-bone, which he has had made into a watch-charm. Louise determines to replace Ruth in Norman's affections. One day she notices that the ribbon of his watch-fob has become worn and offers to replace it. This enables her to throw away the charm and fasten a piece of another wishbone, the remainder of which she mails to the young lawyer. When the morning mail arrives she secretly obliterates the postmark and proceeds to purloin Ruth's letters when they appear. Norman, in a spirit of pride, offers no response and endeavors to forget Ruth. In the little country town Ruth has been studying law, that she may be of assistance to Norman when they are married. Her heart is broken when she is led to believe that his love has grown cold. The nest year she is admitted to practice and by a strange turn of fate she is called to the city to defend a case which Norman is prosecuting. An unexpected incident brings the lovers together and exposes Louise's treachery.
