Her mother had estranged herself from her own family by a runaway match. Her husband was dead and her mother seriously considered appealing to her father for aid in support of the two children. Baby went to school, but the rich little children were not very kind to her, and she would not have been invited to Erma's birthday party without the intervention of her teacher. Mother dressed Early in her best frock and gave her some flowers for Erma, which were not much noticed by the spoiled little girl who was showered with gifts. Her grandfather gave her a locket and while the children were at the table, the trinket was passed from hand to hand to be admired by all. Baby was looking at it, when the entrance of the butler with the cake distracted the attention of all. Presently Erma missed her present, and all remembered that Early had been the last to hold it. She tried to run away in the confusion, but was stopped by Erma's mother. Baby was hiding something in her dress. It looked suspicious, and she was forced to reveal her poor little secret. Out came a piece of cake and some bonbons. "I saved them for my brother," said Early through her tears, "He is a cripple and I wanted him to have a party, too." Touched to the heart, Erma's mother packed a big basket of goodies and her grandfather accompanied Early to her home, carrying the basket. A surprise was in store for him, for Baby's mother proved to be the daughter whom he had so harshly renounced years before. Jimmie had a real party after all, and the little family was rescued from poverty forever. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
