Webster refuses and attempts to arrange a marriage between Jack and Ruth, but Ruth is too proud and refuses. Jack is forced to leave Ruth to join his teammates in the international games, but upon his return, he continues his suit.

- When God created the world He made a law, and wrote it upon the heart of every man and woman, the law of sex attraction. When a girl goes out into the world to make her fight for success alone, she must face serious decisions and cannot escape the crisis that is bound to occur when the urging of love and adventurous youth takes hold of her soul. Such a crisis is faced by Ruth Stanley, successful artist, loved by two men. One typifies youth and the other maturity. One is a famous athlete, who wins the international marathon for America; the other is a physician, a man of deep thought and high ideals. The man of brains knows the world well enough to fear for the girl when he sets her gripped by an infatuation for the handsome youth. He points out the danger of allowing any man to "dominate her soul." He reasons with her from his fund of knowledge. But Youth does not reason; he holds out his arms and says: "I love you and we are young." So she answers the call and encounters more misfortune than even the doctor predicted. The soul of the girl is wrung with the anguish of impending disgrace, and all because, ignorant of the world of men and its ways, she answered the natural law. And the boy is tortured, too, but his suffering makes him a man, and before the end youth wins happiness.
