The Hour of Peril:剧情介绍

Plot Summary:The duty fell upon her. Her blind sister and her two little children were absolutely helpless, and their support devolved upon her. She found happiness in caring for them, found a sweet joy in struggling for their daily bread. But one came into their lives who -- well, he loved her, and perhaps she liked him a little, too. He was a drunkard, a brute, if you will; but he loved her, and was filled with all the unsatiated fury of the animal spirit that desires something for its own. He proposed to her. There might have been something in him, his masterful vigor, his tremendous masculinity, his aggressive animalism, that conquered and swayed her, and she was just about to go to his arms when, she remembered. She remembered her sister and nieces and her duty, and sorrowfully she explained all to him and asked him to release her. He wanted her, and was of that type that will brook no obstacles. A few days later a party was to be given to blind children by a philanthropist, and the two afflicted kiddies were hysterical with delight in contemplation of the joyous time. The drunkard heard of the little event, and poisoned the ice-cream. Then, in a drunken state, he came to the girl and boasted of what he had done. There was just time enough to fly and warn the children, and she darted a look of surprised hate at the Brute, and made a dash from the room. He stopped her, and in tense silence, they struggled. It meant the lives of countless little ones, already deprived of a great deal of life; it meant the saving of misery and anguish indescribable, but to him it meant only the girl. If her little family were destroyed, she would be free to marry him. They struggled, grim determination on one side, drunken desire on the other, and the wholesome strength won. She arrived on the scene just in time to avert the threatened disaster, and the hour of peril was past, as well as the faint gleam of love that had stolen unawares into her heart.
