During the transaction Mr. Doyle's son is sitting at the window and his little daughter is playing with her collie dog, "Jean," on the floor. The father sees the man to the front door, leaving his son and daughter in the room where he left the money on the table. The son leaves the room and the little girl, who is now alone in the room, sees the money, and thinking it is only paper, takes it out in the garden and puts it in the little cradle with her calico doll and cuts one or two of the bank notes into dolls. After the child has gone out the father returns to the room and cannot find the money. He calls the wife; she knows nothing about it, and the father accuses the son of stealing it. The son is indignant, and leaves home. He has hardly left the house when the little girl comes in with the money and gives it to her mother and shows her the pretty paper doll she has made out of one of the bills. The dog follows with another bunch of the money which the child has dropped. The mother calls her husband, and the child explains that she thought the money just paper and she is grieved to hear her brother, whom she dearly loves, has been accused of stealing and has left home. She starts out with her calico doll to find her brother, her collie dog following after her. She wanders through the fields and wood, where she falls, trying to reach a flower, down a steep embankment onto some rocks, spraining her ankle and lying unconscious. The faithful dog tries to rouse her, and, finding it impossible, runs home to get the child's parents to understand him in his efforts to report the child's accident. He rushes back to the child, carries her calico doll to the parents and makes them realize that the child is missing and in danger. While worrying over the loss of their son, here is another loss of their daughter. The son is brought back home by his attachment for his little sister and mother, and when he learns of the loss of his sister and sees "Jean" with her calico doll, he follows him to the place of her accident and brings her safely home.
