The Little Wanderer (1912)
Nettie's much-overworked stepmother loses her patience and scolds her. The little girl, sick at heart, calls her dog and starts through the woods to find a new home. The little wanderer becomes tired after her long walk and crawls into a barn where she falls asleep on the hay. Nettle is awakened by the voices of men in earnest conversation close to the haymow where she has taken refuge. The men prove to be tramps who are planning to rob the nearby squire's home. She tries to crawl from her place of refuge; the tramps detect her and lock her in the barn; the little dog escapes and through its intelligent actions induces Farmer Hodge to go to the girl's rescue. Hearing Nettie's story, Hodge goes with the child to the squire and informs him of the tramps' plot. When the robbers arrive, the village constable and a party of husky farmhands make quick work of their capture. The squire hears the little wanderer's story and secures permission from her parents to adopt her.
