Plot: John Lewis, a rising young physician, is in love with Madge Marion. He gets an offer to share a practice in New York and proposes marriage. Madge consents. A few days later she receives news from her brother-in-law, Ben March, of her sister's death out west. Some mouths later Lewis writes he is coming down to marry her. At the same time she gets another letter from her brother-in-law, asking her to come out west and take care of his three-year-old little girl, Lulu. Madge decides to go out and asks John to postpone their marriage for two years. He thinks it is a sign that she does not want him, and says that she must take him now or not at all. Madge determines to go west and they part in anger. After three years March resolves to come east and sends Madge and Lulu, now seven, to New York ahead of him. As fate will have it, they take rooms on the same street with Lewis, who is now a prosperous doctor. Madge goes out one day leaving Lulu alone. The child breaks her doll and sets out to find a doctor to cure it. She wanders into Lewis' office and he is much struck by her quaintness. Madge returns and is terrified to find Lulu gone. She sets out to find her and is directed to Lewis' office by a policeman who saw her enter there. The lovers meet again and are brought together by Lulu. Lewis confesses his fault and asks Madge again to be his wife, and she consents.
