From his cell he tells his wife to go to Graham and get a written confession from him. She calls upon Graham, but he laughs at her and gives her a large sum of money, telling her to leave the town. She foolishly consents and goes. Later, when her daughter asks for her father, the mother tells her that he is dead. When Deacon's term is ended he is released, and sets out to find his wife and daughter. About this time Graham dies, leaving his son, Dick, with the knowledge of his crime. The boy vows to right the wrong done the other man. Deacon searches everywhere, but his wife and daughter cannot be found. His daughter, now a young lady of seventeen, receives an invitation to a ball. She attends and there meets Dick. They are mutually attracted. Mrs. Deacon recognizes Dick as the son of Graham, but decides to say nothing. In the hope that a match may be made between Dick and Grace. One day Deacon, who has become an ordinary tramp, meets his wife. He wants to see Grace, but she tells him to go away. He refuses. She tells him to hide in the next room, as Dick and Grace are coming, and if Dick were to know that he was Grace's father, he would never marry her. When Dick and Grace enter the room he realizes that he might be in the way of his daughter's happiness. He leaves, taking with him only a photograph of Grace. That night he is walking along the road, and is run over by Dick in his motor. Dick takes him to his home. Grace's picture drops from his pocket and Dick recognizes it. When Deacon recovers consciousness he sees a picture of Graham, and recognizing him, accuses the dead man. Dick, knowing the truth, shows shame and sorrow. He shows Deacon Grace's picture and asks who it is. Deacon says, "It is my daughter." Dick brings Deacon to Grace's home the next day. She ignores her mother and goes straight to her father's outstretched arms. Later she effects a reconciliation between her father and mother, and she and Dick are married.
