Mrs. Wilson decides to leave John, and forthwith packs her trunk and departs. While Mrs. Wilson was preparing to leave, Marion sees an auto stop at the curb a few doors away. She decides to play a joke "on mamma," and crawls into the tonneau of the machine and falls asleep. The owner of the car enters and drives away, unconscious of the child in the back. John reaches home for dinner and discovers his wife and child gone. In the meantime the auto with the child has reached another town. The owner stops at a house and enters. Marion, awakened, creeps out of auto, looks around at the unfamiliar surroundings. Frightened, she wanders away crying. Jim Connors, a newsboy, returning home finds the little tot asleep and carries her into the house to his mother. Jim and his good mother do all in their power to make Marion contented and as years pass she grows into a beautiful girl. Jim, an industrious fellow, works hard and finally succeeds in saving sufficient money to open a news stand. In the evening he attends school. Eventually he graduates as a pharmacist. Jim decides to start a drug store in a more thriving town than that in which they live and moves his mother and Marion to the same town where Wilson still conducts his drug store. Jim locates himself just across the street from Wilson's store. Wilson has allowed his store to run down. Naturally the opening of Jim's establishment puts Wilson's completely out of business. Marion, who acts as cashier in Jim's store, is devoted to Jim and their wedding day draws nearer. Old Wilson, sitting in his deserted store, looks at Connors' establishment. He decides to go to the store and upbraid Jim. As Wilson stands shaking his fist at Jim he notices Marion. He stares at her, then falls unconscious. He is carried into the house. Mrs. Connors and Marion finding that Wilson is alone, decide to nurse him back to health. Upon his recovery Wilson tells them the story of his misfortune. Mrs. Connors tells how Marlon came to them and shows the garments worn by her. Wilson in the unexpected happiness of having Marion restored, regains his health, and after Jim and Marion are married, Jim generously makes Wilson a partner in the business.
