Knowing that the wife and child of her brother, a judge in a neighboring county, have been lost in the disaster, she seeks to alleviate his agony by bringing the rescued child to him as his own. All three live happily together until one day a stranger appears to see Rose, claiming the child and offering to show proofs of identity if she will go with him in an automobile to a certain place. On the way they meet with an accident from which Rose sustains slight injuries. Not wishing her brother to know, she explains that she fell down the stairs. However, upon investigation he learns that the lady in the automobile must have been his sister and therefore appears to be guilty of some wrong. His suspicions are soon confirmed and Rose is ordered to leave the house, never to return. Despite the pleading of the little girl, the judge will show no mercy to his sister, who rather than confess her deception reluctantly departs, a martyr to duty.
