When the girl recovers, both bend every effort to retrieve the violin. The girl goes out to work, the old man copies music, almost starving in his effort to save the pennies he earns. To the rich home comes a famous violinist. The account of his playing is read in a newspaper by the pawnbroker, and the old man's violin is sold to the rich musician. When the poor people have saved the ten dollars necessary to redeem the violin, they hasten to the pawn shop only to find that, the interest not having been paid, the violin has been sold. The rich and celebrated violinist is the guest of the people for whom the girl works. There she sees her grandfather's violin. She cannot resist the temptation to play upon it. The professor hears her and hastens into the music room. When he learns her story, he takes the girl and violin back to the old man, who hugs his lost treasure to his breast and, oblivious to all his surroundings, pours out his soul upon the violin.
