剧情简介: Margaret was pining for an adventure. Mary, the old woman whom she had recently visited in the forsaken mansion, haunted her imagination and played upon her sympathy until she made up her mind she would again seek that forlorn old soul. So, one morning when Aunt Abbie had stayed home to read De Morgan, Margaret motored to the ramshackle house. Old Mary greeted her kindly. "Have you found Walter?" was her first question. When Our Mutual Girl reluctantly answered in the negative, she flew into a furious temper. "Get out of my house then!" she screamed, "And don't come back till you've found him." Margaret went home with a pain in her heart. She told Aunt Abbie about it, but received scant sympathy, for the timid lady was in terror of Margaret's going near the demented Mary. Then, deciding that her niece needed "some good, healthy shopping exercise," she laid aside her book with a sigh, and suggested that they go to Joseph's. In the famous millinery establishment on Fifth Avenue, Margaret chose several bewitching models in hats and furs. She seemed restored to her usual spirits. Then, a most surprising adventure befell Our Mutual Girl, all unsought, right in the exclusive modiste's atelier, the last place in the world where one would have looked for anything of an unconventional nature to happen. Margaret and her Aunt were standing admiring some rhinestone buckles in the show case, their backs turned to the room, when an old man, evidently a clerk or department chief, approached. As Margaret looked around, his eyes became fixed on her pretty face. He became an ashen gray, his hands moving automatically to his forehead, then he dropped to the floor in a dead faint. They removed him to the hospital room upstairs, and Margaret, who was puzzled beyond words by the incident, learned something about him from the manager of the shop. There was a mystery about the old man. Impulsively Margaret begged to be taken to the hospital room, in case she might be of some help. When she entered she heard him telling the doctor, who was bending over him, the story of his youth; it was the masculine edition of old Mary's story. The two narratives dovetailed like the halves of a picture puzzle. Then, Our Mutual Girl, with beating heart, crossed the room swiftly to the old man's side. She thought he would faint a second time. But he roused himself, and the shock of seeing her seemed to have cleared his long befogged memory. For the first time since he had stumbled into the shop and found a position there, he remembered his name, it was Walter Van Horn. "The miracle days have not gone by!" cried Margaret in an ecstasy. Then she ordered the automobile, and within the hour Our Mutual Girl had reunited the lovers, lost to one another for almost fifty years.
