But the little circle is broken when a rich lady summering at the mountain hotel sees Helen, and taking a fancy to her, takes her with the reluctant consent of Granddad to her city home. In the excitement of society life with the beautiful clothes provided her by her benefactress, Helen's head is turned and she drops home ties, foolishly ashamed of her humble mountain home. In the course of time, she marries Roger Leonard, a wealthy young man, but does not tell him of her granddad and the children, thinking that he would be ashamed of them. Letters from home are unanswered, and granddad mourns, thus neglecting the other two, though unintentionally. They ponder how to find their sister and thus make him happy once more. One day they gather their little hoard together and start on their mission. A teamster comes along and thus they are taken far away before granddad misses them. Reaching the city, their funds give out and they are forced to sing in the streets. Various adventures befall them and they finally sing outside Helen's home. Alone in the twilight she hears the childish voices singing the same old songs that she had taught her brother and sister at home. Belated remorse overwhelming her, she sends the maid out to bring the singers in, and to her surprise, it is Lucy and Tom. Roger enters and Helen confesses and the whole deception and her cruel neglect. Roger gladly welcomes the children and the whole party immediately go to granddad, where everything is forgiven and happiness is once more supreme. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
