Dora was equally convinced in her mind that she would not marry Barclay, and that she would marry John. When Rodney caught John making love to Dora, he promptly discharged him that night. Dora met John in the garden, ran away with him, and married him. When John and Dora returned to her father's farm, Rodney refused even to speak to his daughter. The young couple settled down in a little house not far away from the Rodney farm. Several years later, Dora, John and their little son were in rather hard straits. Through Barclay's influence John lost his new position in the village store, and a serious illness prevented him from seeking other work. Dora's mother and brother did their best to help the poor young wife without Rodney's knowledge, but they could not do much. One day Hiram, Dora's brother, took her small son out to play in the hay fields. Rodney came upon the child, and without in the least knowing who it was, felt strangely attracted to it. A curious intimacy sprang up between the two, and Bobby got into the habit of running out into the fields to meet his friend. One day his mother missed him, and went to look for him. She found him playing with her father. When Rodney discovered that his little playmate was his own grandson, he at first turned bitterly away, but the ties of blood overcame his foolish stubbornness, and turning again, he took his daughter and grandson into his arms.
