By a strange coincidence, both hit upon adopting an orphan to bring up as their own. Mrs. Johnson visits the Hilldale Orphan Asylum, and after inspecting the many little inmates, she selects pretty 10-year-old Helen. Shortly after she has left, Mr. Brown comes to the asylum and makes the same choice. They ask each other to withdraw. The head nurse suggests that Mrs. John and Mr. Brown marry each other, then both can have Helen for their own. They therefore go to a minister, get married, and return to the orphanage for Helen, whom they take to their hears, and smilingly accept one another with that happiness and contentment of mind which makes the two one, and the three a complete, happy family.
