She supports herself and child by her only talent, her voice. A man about town, Henry Bartlett, covets Gladys. He writes to Robert's mother, warning her of the danger her son is running in allowing himself to be fascinated by an actress. The letter brings Mrs. Harding to New York. She goes to the young woman's apartment. There she finds Gladys caring for her very sick child. The two women are drawn to one another and Mrs. Harding suggests that they both pray for the baby's recovery. Gladys promises that if the child's life be spared to her, she will give up Robert. In a few minutes the fever leaves the little one, and it falls into a peaceful sleep. Mrs. Harding leaves. In the ante-room, however, she hears her son enter the apartment. Then ensues a conversation which assures her how honestly the actress is living up to her promise, and how heart-broken the boy is at the thought of their final separation. The mother re-enters the room. She owns that she is completely won over. "And now, my children," she says, "come back home with me and celebrate the wedding.''
