Nora O'Halloran, an Irish girl, spends All Souls' Eve alone in her cottage. Her mother is in America, and Nora is about to join her. Nora watches people leaving the church, and looks for the spirits of her deceased father and brother. They appear to her, but when she tries to embrace them, they vanish. A few days later, she sets out for America. She arrives in the United States to discover that her mother has just died. She goes to work for Roger and Alice Heath, as nursemaid to their son Peter. Roger is a sculptor, and is working on a statue of his wife. Olivia Larkin, an adventuress, has her sights set on Roger. She approaches "Daddy" Lawson, a crazed old man who lives in the woods. Olivia plants the idea in Lawson's head that Alice is preventing the bank from paying him money that he feels he is due. Lawson kills Alice. Roger descends into grief and cannot complete the statue of his wife. For a time, he joins the "fast set" with Olivia. One evening, Roger returns home drunk, and falls onto the couch in a drunken stupor. It is now All Souls' Eve. Peter has been taken seriously ill. Alice's spirit returns to comfort her son and husband, but she is helpless to act. Instead, she transfers her love to Nora, who is able to save Peter's life. A doctor arrives and announces that Peter is out of danger. Roger begins to notice that Nora, in manner and appearance, has begun to resemble Alice. He asks her to pose for him so he may complete his statue. Feeling that Alice has returned to him, he asks Nora to marry him.—scsu1975
