- Rose is brought up by an old hag in a miserable hut on the side of the mountain, but in spite of the cruel treatment of the hag, Rose has a dream world all her own. Her nature absorbs all this beauty of the mountains and she steals away at every opportunity to her secret leafy bower where she adorns herself with leaves and vines. Jack Norton, a manly young mountain ranger, and Silent Jordan, an old prospector, whose nature has been chastened and refined by sorrow, are the only men in the vicinity. Jack Norton has an affection for Rose, which is ripening into love, but before he declares himself he is called away to patrol a distant part of the canyon. Silent Jordan, when he sees Rose, recognizes in her a perfect likeness of the girl whom he once loved and whom he knows must have been Rose's mother. A man's shadow obscures the sun from the rose when an artist, Paul Rouchelle, comes into the mountains to sketch. He sees Rose in the costume of leaves, dancing and, declaring the wood nymph shall be his model, he gets her to pose for him. She is fascinated by the polished gentleman, and finally consents to run away with him. He takes her to his studio, but one day she learns that he already has a wife and child. She leaves at once and returns to the mountains. The wild rose which has been transplanted to the hot house, fades and withers in its unnatural environment. She finds the hag has died and she has no home. She is utterly discouraged and exhausted. Silent Jordan appears and tells Paul to get out. The Ranger arrives at this point and Paul is so enraged that he tells him that Rose has been. his mistress. The ranger chokes Paul but Silent Jordan interferes and lets him go. The ranger asks Rose if it is true. Rose slowly nods her head. The ranger turns from her. Silent Jordan asks him to forgive Rose, but the ranger refuses to do so and starts to leave. Silent Jordan, however, leads the young man and Rose to a little grave. Warning them not to make the same mistake he did, he tells them his life's story, how he loved a girl and on his wedding day discovered she had a baby girl. He left her, but go where he would he couldn't forget her. Her face haunted him. He finally returned and on the hillside found a grave with a rude cross on it. His sweetheart had died of a broken heart. He became a recluse and folks called him Silent Jordan. Jack, with tears in his eyes, takes Rose in his arms.—Moving Picture World synopsis
