And then enters the "friend," who sees his opportunity. One evening when the father is detained on business the wife accepts the "friend's" invitation to the theatre. The father returns and finds his wife gone. When the child tells where the mother is, he realizes that her love has flown, and the next morning he arranges for a separation. A year passes and the mother and child are living together, lonely. The "friend" sends her roses and says he is coming that night to claim his love. While dressing, the mother accidentally finds a white rose that her husband gave her a year before on their wedding anniversary. Memories come back to her, but she disregards them and rushes into the garden to meet her friend. The child, alone and frightened, goes to find its mother in the garden. The child picks a white rose and approaches with it. This brings the mother to her senses and she rushes back to the house with her baby. The baby then takes sick from exposure. The father is sent for, but before he arrives the baby dies. The mother and father are reconciled by their common grief. In the garden the mother sees a vision of her child, which she follows to the house. Here they find that the child is still alive, so the family is happily reunited.
