Gordon Keith’s only inheritance is that he is the son of a gentleman: his father, General Keith of Elphinstone, has lost everything in the war and works as an overseer. The boy goes to a mountain college, becomes an engineer in the coal country and later enters New York society, where he meets the beautiful Alice Yorke and the ambitions of new money.
