Mrs. Warren, an ardent worshiper at society's throne, cannot miss a party or gathering, and being a wonderful dancer, will sacrifice husband, home, and child, rather than miss a ball. Virginia, the child, is ill. Mrs. Warren is at the ball, and the doctor advises sending for her. She refuses to leave her dances and returns home in the small hours of the morning. Robert is waiting for her and upbraids her for her lack of heart. They quarrel. Losing his temper, he tells her to make her choice for all time between her home, husband and child, and her dances. She chooses her dances. Robert writes to his lawyer about the settlement for his wife. They part. Robert takes the child and starts for his western ranch. During the trip the child strolls away looking for her mamma. Robert is nearly insane at the loss and places his own life in danger, when after a thorough search through the train, he leaves the train while in motion and is found by the side of the track. A telegram is sent to his home, which brings his wife to Squaw Valley, near where they found him. She takes him back east, but nothing is heard of the child. Dad Bartlett, an old recluse lives all alone in his little shack. The good minister tries to turn his thoughts to the hereafter, but only gets curses for his pains. He places a sign on his premises reading, "God is No Where. Ministers and Church People Keep Away." To this shack in the mountains Virginia wanders, telling the old man she is looking for her mamma. The old man keeps her and by the aid of the sign no one knows the child is there. Time passes. The old man loves the child devotedly, and the child loves her foster father. He has taught her to read and write and the sign now reads, "God Is Now Here." Robert and his wife are traveling to his western ranch, with Robert's young brother, an artist. They stop off at Crawley Junction, now the home of Virginia. Arthur sees the child and makes a pencil drawing of her, intending to paint it when he returns east. At the hotel he shows it to Warren and his wife; they recognize the child. Dad Bartlett gives her up, but spurns their gold. He begs the pencil drawing of Virginia. The Warrens return east with Virginia. The next day Dad is found by the minister dead on the floor, the penciled drawing with these words in chalk underneath it, clasped in his arms, "God Is Love."
