A happy family picture, Mr. and Mrs. Jones and their little daughter, at the table. A friend joins them, and remembering some important papers that he desired to show Stiles, Jones goes to his office. When alone, Mrs. Jones and her guest play cards, the wager being a kiss. The terms are laughingly accepted by Mrs. Jones. The youngster has become tired and is sent to bed, but just as Mr. Stiles is taking his forfeit she stands in the doorway and sees him. She is again sent to bed and they settle down to another game, when they are attracted by a noise in the next room and discover a burglar, at which Mrs. Jones faints. The father returns, asks the child where her mother is, and hearing of the scene the child witnessed, shows anger and refuses to listen to Stiles. Both Mrs. Jones and he are compelled to leave the house, and they separate, each to go their own way. The little daughter misses her mother, and when she is taken ill her chances for recovery are slim. The father advertises for a nurse and Mrs. Jones applies. The doctor receives her, and learning who she is admits her at once. He then tells Mr. Jones that the youngster will probably get better. He joyfully enters her room, and in his great gratitude kneels at her bedside. He feels a hand stealing across the bed, clasping his, and looking up sees his wife. There is a reconciliation and the doctor says his charge will recover.
