She arrives on time, but not seeing uncle, she sits down to await him, when suddenly it occurs to her that she left baby's nursing bottle in the coach. Leaving her baggage and baby in charge of a young man, she hurries back to the train. Just as she regains possession of the bottle the train pulls out, carrying her to the next stop five miles distant, where she hires a country cab to drive her back. Meanwhile the baby is crying lustily in the arms of the young man, who believes a joke has been played on him. After trying various means to rid himself of the baby, he finally slips it into the arms of a prosperous looking old gentleman, who is peacefully dozing in his seat. The old gentleman happens to be Uncle John. When lie awakes and finds himself in possession of the baby he nearly goes insane in his efforts to locate the owner. He finally disposes of it by shifting it onto a nurse girl in the street, where a little later on the frantic mother finds it. By this time Uncle John has arrived home and is congratulating himself on getting rid of an undesirable baby so cleverly when the hall boy ushers his niece in, who proudly places her baby into his arms and which to his utter amazement is none other than the one he tried so hard to get rid of.
