- A young stone cutter with his wife and baby live happy, until a day comes when all hands are discharged. This is a stunning blow for the couple. But the man starts out uncomplainingly, hunting from place to place, only to be refused. Not wishing his family to starve, he leaves a note saying that he is going to seek his fortune in the Western gold fields and advising his wife to go to her father. He takes her portrait and one of the baby's shoes, leaving the other for her, hoping that it may be a talisman to re-unite them under happier circumstances. During the husband's absence of eight years the wife dies, leaving the little girl, now ten years of age, with her grandfather. Twelve years after the father strikes it rich and becomes a millionaire. He returns to the old home only to find strangers there. One day in walking along the street he encounters a child who bears such a striking resemblance to his wife that he inquires where she lives and accompanies her home, and to his great joy he sees on the mantel piece under a glass the companion to the little shoe, which he carried with him all these years, and thus finds his daughter and her happy family.—Moving Picture World synopsis
