Plot Summary:Lloyd Meredith, an actor and dramatist, is at the height of prosperity one season while the next he is at his best extremely. When the story opens he has just finished and had accepted a drama in which he is to play the title role. At the opening performance, Alice Warren, the daughter of well-to-do people who hold actors in disdain, becomes madly infatuated with Meredith. Her parents labor with her, but she is of an independent spirit and writes the actor, declaring her love and expressing her determination to see him often. At her solicitation he admits her to his dressing room. He asks her if she does not realize the folly of writing sentimental notes to actors. The girl breaks down and leaves. Meredith takes an interest in the girl and their acquaintanceship ripens into love. Against the wishes of the girl's parents they are married. Meredith sinks all of his money into a beautiful home, but neglects to have it insured. One night their house burns to the ground and Meredith has a hard time in saving his wife from the flames. While he is fighting for her life he is wounded in the eye; his face is disfigured. Meredith is again poor and begins to write another play. The young wife does not enjoy life with the wolf at the door and she begins to lose interest in her disfigured husband. Despite his objections she goes to work as a stenographer for the manager of a mill and finally she decides to leave her husband for her employer. The playwright is so poor that he can't even pay the gas bill of 89 cents. However, he sells his play and returns home to tell his wife. He finds her note, saying that she has left him for another. This is more than he can bear. He stops up a crevice which might admit air, turns on the gas and throws himself upon the bed to await the end. In the meantime two other things are taking place. The wife has decided that she loves her husband and is returning to him. The gas company has decided that Meredith's bill cannot run longer and a man is dispatched to turn it off. As the gas man turns off the gas in the basement, the wife is trying to get in her apartment upstairs. The landlady unlocks the door; Meredith comes to and the gas man enters with the announcement, that, \"You'll have to pay that 89 cents before you get enough gas to commit suicide.\"
