The rector is engaged to Marjorie, who does not share in her fiancé's love for children. Marjorie's father forbids her marriage to Strong. Two days later Anne disappears. Later that year Strong finds a baby upon the doorstep of the parish and to the infant is pinned a slip asking Strong to rear and protect the child. Helen. Later Strong receives a note from Marjorie, telling him that because her father has not consented to her marriage that she has entered a convent. Strong learns to love little Helen as she grows older and his explanation to the vestrymen fails to satisfy them, so Strong presents his resignation and takes charge of a mission at Goldfield, Nevada. As years go on, Strong falls in love with Imogene, the daughter of the mine owner. He requests Imogene to become his wife and her father wires to Strong's former parish for information regarding him. The answer is that Strong was compelled to resign his parish because he could not prove the identity of the child. Rushton exposes Strong to the miners. Harold Gordon, after Anne's disappearance in the east, also goes to Goldfield, Nevada, where he becomes superintendent of Rushton's mine. He also proposes for Imogene's hand, but Imogene still loves John Strong. Gordon in a dance hall at San Francisco meets LaBelle Favorita. They quarrel; Gordon is later found dead while Favorita makes her escape. Helen, now a beautiful young girl, saves John Strong's life. Assisted by Imogene, Helen takes Strong to a farm house. Here LaBelle Favorita is now engaged as a maid. As Strong and Favorita recognize each other, the woman confesses that she is Anne Strong, his sister; that Gordon is the father of the foundling placed on John Strong's doorstep, 'neath Calvary's Shadow. At the end of Anne's story, Strong gives Helen, the foundling, to her mother and Imogene, now satisfied to whom the child belongs, begs Strong's forgiveness.
