A guest, somewhat flustered by the petulance of his fair companion whom he has slightly offended, departs without a roll of bills from which he paid his check. Smith hurriedly tucks the money in his pocket, and when the guest comes back denies he has seen the roll. The head waiter searches him, finds the money, returns it to the owner, and discharges Smith. The waiter breaks the sad news to his wife, who is waiting for him with their little child in an atmosphere of poverty, owing to the fact that Smith's petty dishonesties deprive him of employment. Mrs. Smith, with the baby in her arms, hurries to the restaurant and pleads with the head waiter to give her husband another chance, but he refuses. A wealthy patron, Mr. Randall, and his handsomely gowned wife overhear the plea, and the rich woman's sympathies are aroused. She persuades her husband to intercede for Mrs. Smith, and the head waiter reluctantly gives the waiter his position again. Some days later, Mrs. Randall loses a pearl necklace in the restaurant, and Smith finds it, and hurries home, intending to keep it. He is suspected, however, and arrested, the jewels being recovered. Randall is disgusted and determines to prosecute Smith, and Mrs. Randall employs Mrs. Smith as her maid, to give her a home. The day of the trial Mrs. Smith, with her baby in her arms, rushes into court and pleads with the Randalls to drop the charge. Mrs. Randall, deeply affected, persuades her husband to do so, and Smith walks out free. Smith goes to the Randall home to get his wife's clothes. Left alone for a minute, he sees a jewel case on the table, steals a pair of earrings and is caught in the act by Randall. Smith is ordered out, and departs like a skulking dog, accompanied by his faithful wife with the infant in her arms, a martyr to her love and the bonds which bind her to the miserable specimen of manhood at her side, "till death do part."
