Away to war and sweethearts must part. John and Fair Fanchon have said over and over again those many little things which lovers always tell. As john is leaving Fanchon gives him a lock of hair with the wish and hope that it will protect him should danger come. John is away to war now. There are soldiers out on a forage. They enter a humble little home and soon come out with some meager little parcels of food, while plainly can be heard the pleas of the one inside not to take his all. But the soldiers laugh and a profane answer is all that is made. Now John comes in sight and enters this same home and learns of the sickness and need which the foraging soldiers had taken from. He returns to camp and denounces the meanness of those who stole from the helpless. A quarrel ensues and blows are struck. John falls and is dying when he begs the now conscience-stricken soldier to take the lock of hair to his Fair Fanchon.
