- Plot: Being thrown upon her own resources without a practical education, Nina had gladly accepted Mrs. Allen's offer to assist her in her duties as housekeeper for Carter Sheldon and his son Jack. She felt sorry for the motherless girl, and knew that under her care she would at least be safe and sound. Jack also pitied the orphan, and pity ripened into love, but here, Carter Sheldon interfered. Waiting until his son had gone away on a business trip, he discharged the girl, and then, although Jack pleases for his sweetheart upon his return, the father remained firm. Jack must choose between them, and Jack chose Nina! Five years had passed since her marriage when Nina was stricken with yellow fever, and fearful lest little Clarice should catch it, the mother sent her child to Nance Olden, a friend of the nurse. But the whole town was placed under quarantine, and long ere Nina had recovered or Jack returned to care for the little one, Nance had jumped quarantine; and though they searched diligently for two years, no trace of either had been found. Nance had not prospered during these two years, and her temper, never of the best, had grown gradually sharper. Had she not still cherished a faint hop that Clarice's parent would turn up to reward her, she would have thrust the child out on the street, but as it was she contented herself with blows, or sending the "hateful brat" supperless to bed. Clarice, however, had made friends with an old gentleman who passed their steps on his way to business, and finding the child so unhappy, and himself so lonely, he paid Nance handsomely, then adopted the little one as his own. But scarcely had Clarice become accustomed to her new home than a fresh joy awaited her. Jack had at last gotten trace of Nance, and from her learned that his child had been adopted by Carter Sheldon. Impatiently he hurries to his father's house, where, this time he did not ask in vain for his wife. This time, little Clarice was there to plead for her mama, and all was well.
