Plot Summary:Helen Cheston, an heiress, is loved by John Hall, the young governor, a poor man. Bitter experience has caused her to suspect all men not wealthy of being fortune hunters. A railway bill has been passed by the Legislature and awaits the governor's signature. It is popularly thought to be a measure granting privileges to a favored few at the expense of the public, and it is confidently expected that the governor will veto it. Helen overhears an assertion that the governor can he bought, and determines to put his honor and honesty to the test. She tells him that she can never marry a poor man, and accepting this as final dismissal, he leaves her. She arranges that a broker shall tell the governor how $20,000 can be made to yield a quick fortune. She then sends to the governor $20,000 in bills with an anonymous note stating that the sum is to be his in payment for approval of the railway bill; if he does not want the money, it may be deposited at a bank to the credit of John Doe. This money reaches the governor on Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning Helen is heartbroken to read that the governor has signed the railway bill. Everywhere it is believed that the executive approval was bought. On Monday Helen receives a proposal from another suitor, a millionaire. Though she does not love him, she believes that he loves her for herself alone, and thinking that she will at least be less unhappy with him than at present, is upon the point of accepting him, when she receives a notice from the bank that the account of John Doe has been credited with a deposit of $20,000. Her faith in the governor restored, she refuses the millionaire. She comes to realize that she loves the governor, and at length, putting aside all pride, tells him that she loves him and laughs at his reply that he is still poor and now in ill repute by reason of the railway bill. Her happiness is rendered complete when the governor's approval of the railway bill is justified, he alone having seen at first that, framed with the intent of defrauding the public, it would, in reality, rebound to the people's benefit.
