Weary and dejected, the two finally wander into a park. Nan leaves the child on a bench while she goes to beg for food. Twice refused and with a heavy heart, she returns to the child who is hungry and crying. In desperation Nan makes another attempt and is again unsuccessful. At the height of her misery, Nan comes upon a woman carrying a money-laden mesh bag. Seizing the bag, which act is witnessed by Burke, the detective. Nan flees into an alley, directly into the arms of a policeman, and is arrested. In the police court Nan tells her story to the judge, explaining that it was only for the child (whom she had left in the park) that she committed the theft. She begs the judge to let her go to the child. He finally consents to her returning to the park accompanied by the detective. Meanwhile a kind-hearted woman comes upon Elaine, and takes the disconsolate child home. Finding the little one gone, Nan is frantic. When the detective accuses her of deceit, she attempts to escape, but is recaptured and taken to jail and thrown into a cell. Burke returns home, and to his surprise, discovers his wife comforting a ragged little girl. When he learns that his wife found the child in the park, he is convinced that the child is Nan's. The three hasten to the police court, and when Nan is brought in, the child rushes to her arms, and the evidence is conclusive. The prisoner is discharged, and given money and employment by the detective. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
