It is not strange that the wife who is not a mother longs to take to her heart and home some motherless child, and that is just what Mrs. Welton did when she read in a magazine that she might take from the asylum Ernest, a little orphan boy, into her home for two weeks. Her husband is opposed to it, but does not interfere with her doing so. Gradually Mr. Welton becomes quite interested in the boy and his many little pastimes. His wife sees this and she is happy. She loves the boy dearly, and when the two weeks are ended she can hardly bear to part with him when she has to take him back to the asylum. Returning to her home, she is heart-broken. The absence of the child robs it of its homeliness and she is depressed with her loneliness, her heart full destitute. Her husband notices her condition and he decides to go to the asylum and bring the boy back, and when his wife, who has worn herself our fretting, is sleeping, the youngster kisses her. She awakens and can scarcely believe her eyes. She clasps him to her bosom, then throws her arm around her husband's neck in gratitude for the satisfying of her heart's desire. The boy becomes their child, they become his parents, and the three of them are happy in the love of a completed household. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
