How PRETTY she was! Happily Murray rejoiced to have her back again - lovely little Bessie Chapparelle with whom he shared the few bright memories of a neglected childhood. And the girl, watching his firm hold on the high-powered roadster forgave him the reckless extravagance that had made his name a byword of youthful folly - because he had remembered. Then came a sickening crash, the hospital, an overheard remark outside the operating room that to Murray's fevered anxiety could mean but one thing.

That night Murray Van Rensslaer, spoiled son of wealth, disappeared. In a strange town that took him to its heart, he started life under a new name, anxious to atone for the crime he believed was his. Then came the change, and this new self demanded a sacrifice of which the old Murray would never have believed himself capable. And in this sacrifice he found the beautiful fulfillment of his dreams.
