For years the old man has been in the employ of misanthropic Andrew Grimes, and realizing that his meager salary will not be sufficient for the support of himself and his ward, he goes to his employer to request a small increase in salary which is refused and during the heated argument which follows, the old man is discharged. The little girl, wearing her name and address tagged around her neck, is placed aboard the train at Chicago and finally arrives at Aurora, Uncle Billy's home town, where she is taken in charge by a big-hearted cabman and driven to her destination. Through a series of circumstances the little orphan finds herself in the big house of Andrew Grimes, who, alone with the memories of his wife and child, is passing his wedding anniversary in solitary seclusion. Awakened from his reverie by the sound of happy childish laughter, he finds the little stranger feasting at his banquet board. Memory calls him back to the little child of other days and the love which has long been slumbering with the departed, is awakened for the living, making Andrew Grimes, misanthrope, one of the strongest dramatic characters in one of the sweetest stories released by Selig in many days.
