She stops to look at a Punch and Judy show, which is worked by a poor woman whom we have previously seen wearily making her preparations for the show. All goes merrily until the doll's actions gradually flag, and come to a full stop, and rushing behind, the crowd, the child included, discover that the old woman has fallen in a faint. In the poor woman's baby, the little girl sees a doll better than she ever hoped to have, and carries it off, leaving the note with which she was to purchase a new toy with the sick woman. At home the child attends devotedly to the baby, and sends a note to the poor woman in hospital saying that the baby will be well taken care of until she is well, but a "Little Mother." Convalescence leads to the discharge of the baby's mother, and she comes to claim the child. The little mother is not disposed to relinquish her charge, and the father offers to adopt the orphan for his daughter's sake, and engage the mother as nurse, and the offer is gladly accepted, much to the joy of all concerned.
