Several years later William finds himself alone except for a baby girl, his wife having died. Meanwhile the father, Dumont, has softened somewhat, and writes William, asking to take care of the child. He stipulates, however, that William must never come to visit her. William consents after careful thought, believing the old man can give her the education and comfort that he would be unable to. Time passes and the girl, now grown, becomes a fixture of the old man's household. She becomes attached to a young man, who asks to marry her. Meanwhile William has become lonesome for a sight of his child and decides to risk all visiting her. He arrives when the girl is in conversation with her lover. The butler sees William and mistakes him for a burglar. Dumont rushes out and accuses him. The girl observes and believing that her father needs her more than anyone, breaks her engagement. Her sweetheart, however, follows her, telling her that he would marry her despite her poverty, and all ends happily. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
