"A wealthy banker, in the early years of his married life, suffered a terrible blow when he was robbed of all that he held dear in life, his young wife and baby girl. The loss left him an embittered, hardened man, vainly trying to fathom the dispensations of an all wise Providence, but with a heart, empty and hungering for love. One particular night, when more than usually depressed, he wandered aimlessly through the snow-driven streets; he is attracted by the glare of light from a window, through which he sees a children’s party in progress. The room is filled with a merry happy throng of youngsters and the whole atmosphere is permeated with the love he lacks and so greatly needs. He gazes through the window, spellbound, and longs with an awful yearning for the touch of the vanished hands. A little waif, ragged and homeless, has also been attracted by the warmth and light within, and looks through the window hungry for something she has never yet experienced in her young life. Overcome, she sinks sobbing in the snow. He sees his poor little companion, kneels beside her and questioning her, soon discovers have a common bond of sympathy. He covers her with his warm coat, and her at once into his heart and home." - Moving Picture World, 1911
