Then she discovered that Shrimp's life-long residence among the trees and flowers had bequeathed him little of that polish, and little of that fine bay rum and hair oil odor which seemed to her so delightful a perquisite of the young men from the city. Shrimp was highly indignant with Wiggles for her heartless flippancy. To revenge himself, he paid marked attention to the girls from the city who were boarding at the Haskins farm. Wiggles' rage over her former admirer's unexpected perfidy was forgotten in the light of subsequent events. Old Jim, the village drunkard, had a little daughter, who, on account of her father's irresponsible habits, was shamefully neglected. Wiggles saw the child one day and begged her foster parents to adopt it. When they refused she resolved on drastic measures. So she went to the drunkard's home while Old Jim was absent and carried the child to the Haskins barn A day or so later the village discovered that the drunkard's child was missing. Instantly suspecting that Jim had done away with the little girl, the sheriff arrested him. Feeling in the village ran very high, and there was talk of a lynching, when Margaret, one of the Haskins' boarders in whom Wiggles had confided under pledge of strict secrecy, saved the situation by revealing the whereabouts of the little girl. Then, matters were settled to the complete satisfaction of everybody concerned. One of the boarders offered to take care of the little girl, and Old Jim gladly relinquished his slight claims of ownership. Wiggles suddenly found herself a heroine. When Shrimp awkwardly asked her if she had forgotten all about him, she giggled and blushed and coyly replied that she guessed she kind of liked him after all.
