Buck is a man of wealth and high character whose conscience is troubled by a transgression committed in his earlier years *

Buck, under a false name, returns to his native place, where he had committed a youthful transgression, and, as an unknown, seeks to discover:

{1} Whether his youthful escapades have been forgotten and forgiven;

{2} whether the person whom he wronged has suffered any lasting injury. Also, he wishes

{3} to make reparation in an assumed character for wrong done in his true character; and

{4} to establish a reputation for good behavior and lofty aims in the community before revealing his real identity **
