Made desperate through grief, the poor woman kidnaps the child of a friend, and retires to a secluded spot where she brings the little girl up with all the tenderness of a mother. The years have gone by, the stricken parents are still seeking for their lost child. One day in the street they notice a little girl who seems to interest them more than usual. They consider that their own little girl would be about the same age. At the same moment they notice an excited woman take the child by the hand and hurry her away. Immediately they recognize the woman who kidnapped their baby. They at once set about to discover the whereabouts of the woman, Mrs. Varnier, and this is soon accomplished, and the child is returned to her own parents. But the little girl has been tenderly reared by her foster mother, and having shared the life of the woman who so loved and cared for her all through the years she cannot forget Mrs. Varnier, and pines for her day by day. One day while the child is out with her mother, they meet Mrs. Varnier. At the sight of the woman she loves as "Mother" the girl rushes joyfully forward, and Mrs. Varnier receives her with open arms. The mother of the girl then realizes that the child can never forget the woman who has been a mother to her from her very earliest remembrance, and. in the spirit of a most beautiful sacrifice, and for the sake of her child, the mother forgives Mrs. Varnier, and assures them that hereafter the little girl shall have the love and care of two most affectionate and tender mothers.—Moving Picture World synopsis
