Summary Sisters Josephine and Rose De Beaurepaire have so successfully hidden the family's dire financial situation from their mother that when Colonel Raynal arrives to take possession of their estate, the Baroness is considerably shocked.

Camille Du Jordin, but upon reading that her sweetheart has acted as a traitor, she accepts Raynal's proposal. After the ceremony, Raynal leaves immediately for the front and soon is reported killed.

Subsequently, Raynal reappears and demands to know the baby's parentage. Rose, to protect her sister, claims the child, causing an estrangement with her own sweetheart, Edouard Riviere.
