He diffused an air of gloom that was very depressing. They didn't realize that an unhappy marriage had embittered his life, and despite the fact that his wife and child were in want, he had forsaken both. Grace Gilchrist made a last appeal, realizing she would have to make her way in the world. She decided to impress Gilchrist's responsibilities on him by leaving their baby daughter in his care. She crept into his quarters and left the sleeping child on his bed with a note saying that he needed to provide for her until she could secure employment. The unexpected sight of the child startled him, but after reading the note he decided to shift the burden to someone else, and so he placed both child and note in Bootle's room and returned downstairs to watch the result. Bootle was astonished when he discovered the child. Adjutant and Mrs. Gray arrived while he was explaining matters, and as Gilchrist had made a remark about sending the baby to an orphan asylum, Bootle sought Mrs. Gray's advice. Her motherly heart caused her to take a great fancy to the child and it was arranged that she should find a nurse for her. Meantime Grace secured a position as companion to Countess Gourbolska. "Bootle's Baby" became the talk of the garrison and Bootle came in for a bit of gossip, while Gilchrist fanned the flame. Countess Gourbolska was invited to a house party, and as Grace accompanied her she was suddenly confronted with her own child. Her emotion was evident, and Gilchrist smiled sardonically as he watched Bootle assist her into the house. Bootle became interested in Grace, which was noticed by Gilchrist, and when she made another appeal to him he taunted her with Bootle's attentions. Matters were in this state and Bootle had even proposed to Grace, when the day of the regimental race arrived. Gilchrist's horse took an awful fall and before anything could be done the young officer expired. Later Grace decided to send for her baby. When Bootle brought her to the hotel he was greeted with a surprise, finding out Grace's real identity. Bootle renewed his suit, and was made happy by Grace's blushing assent never to separate Bootle from his baby. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
