So studious and retiring in disposition was Dave Randal, that no one, not even Annie Rodney, dreamed of his love.

They had grown up together, and now that he worked for his father, she as frankly accepted his books and candy as of yore. Then, like a bolt from the clear sky, came the announcement of her engagement to the sailor, Robert Summers. Quietly Dave packed up his few belongings, then, leaving a letter of congratulation for Robert, in which he also acknowledged his love for the girl, the young man bade the Rodney family a hasty adieu, and departed for the city. The sailor and his bride had been married but two short years, when old man Rodney, much against the more experienced seaman's better judgment, induced his son-in-law to accompany him across the bay. Scarcely were they half way across, however, than a violent storm arose, and although Annie with baby Rosie in her arms, watched and waited on the shore that night, and all the next day, the tide but brought her back two hats, their overturned boat, and a broken oar. Five years passed, four of which Annie and little Rosie spent in the city, and although at Mrs. Watkins', where they had recently moved, their two rooms were but small and scantily furnished, the child seemed happier than ever before. This, Annie learned from the landlady, was due to Rosie's new friend, the rising young contractor on the floor below. So, when tired of watching her mother sew, the tiny girl would slip downstairs to "help" her admirer, usually by cuddling in his arms and falling fast asleep. One day, however, the child failed to appear. He called Mrs. Watkins, who told him the little one was sick and pointed out the room. But at the door the contractor was stopped by the doctor; in a couple of days he might come. Sorrowfully the young man returned to his room, but when next he called, it was Rosie's voice that bade him enter. Hearing voices, Annie hurried from the back room, and what was her surprise in discovering that the young contractor was none other than Dave Randal. Rosie was delighted. Clasping a chubby arm about the neck of each, she stoutly declared that Dave was to be her new papa, a prophecy which, happily, later on came true. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
