One cold night after a brilliant reception at his home, he decides to walk about the city. After a long stroll he found himself near the waterfront and a child crying. He questioned her and found she had been sent out to sell papers and as the rough street boys had driven her away her day had been a failure and no papers had been sold. He brought her to her wretched room and left her. The next day he told his servants he was going away to another country and speedily made his way to the little waif's house, where he engaged a room and made friends with her father, a wretched derelict, broken in health and ambition. The world-weary man has found the world still attractive, for with the child as his companion he becomes interested in the amusements of the poor. One day the wretched father suddenly died. This was the turning point in the lives of the waif and the millionaire. He sent for his automobile, and going to her wretched room, where he found her asleep, he put her rag doll in her arms and brought her to his mansion and ever after was a father to her.
