She investigates and learns that Mary was to meet Ted, whose matrimonial advertisement she had answered, and who had cautioned her to wear her mistress's best furs and necklace in order to recognize her. Mildred realizing that it is a crook's scheme to lure Mary into a life of crime, resolves to meet him, posing as Mary. At eight o'clock, at Pennsylvania Station, Haddon, District Attorney, on his way home, is astonished to see his mysterious neighbor, Mildred, whom he has long admired at a distance, accosted by a stranger, whom he recognizes as Chatham Square Charley, a notorious crook. He is utterly disillusioned. Mildred, having recognized Charley, also plays her part, encouraging him and promising to assist him in robbing her mistress's house, and then elope with him. Ted, alias Chatham Square Charley, comes early to attend to the robbery. He is followed and watched by Haddon, who has not been able to forget the part the man played in his suspicions of Mildred. As Ted is about to begin his job in her house, Mildred orders him to stop, covering him with her revolver. Haddon sees them in apparently friendly converse in the library. He determines to enter. He bursts in upon them just as Mildred finishes her denunciation of the robber. Haddon accuses her of being Ted's accomplice. Mary, hearing something in the library, enters. Mildred scornfully points out Ted to her. Haddon sees the real state of things as Mildred explains them to Mary. Charley tries to make a getaway, but is foiled and handed over to the District Attorney by Mildred, who surreptitiously shows him her badge of office.
