A few days later while the stricken man was praying at her grave his attention was attracted by a bundle which bad been brought in by the sea. He found it to be a little girl, senseless, who had apparently been swept ashore from some wreck. She was wrapped in a life preserver, bearing the name of a yacht. A few days later he learned that the owner of the yacht, a banker involved in difficulties with the law, had been lost with his child and crew while trying to escape on the yacht. There was no one to claim the child and the pious keeper accepted her as the gift from God which he had been promised. Years later, when the child had grown to be a handsome young woman, her aunt, a wealthy society woman, found and claimed her.

One afternoon, while thinking of her, he fell into a troubled sleep. He awoke to find her beside him.
