Rose Seaton's father dies of heart-failure superinduced by business troubles. The young Lieut. is ordered to go to South Africa with his regiment to fight the Boers. In this battle he is killed. His wife receives word of his death, and at once apprises her father-in-law of his son's death and of her helplessness. He does not recognize her. While walking down the street, the old man loses his wallet, and his grandson, who happened to be walking behind him, picks it up and returns it to him. He offers to adopt George (his grandson), but will not shelter his mother. For the sake of her boy she consents to his taking care of her son. As the mother is passing the old man's house one day, her son recognizes her, and running out of the house, clasps her to his bosom. The old man's heart is now touched, and subsequently takes her into his home.
