- Calling her little girl to her, the dying mother gives her a small bank, in which has been placed the poor woman's scant savings, telling the child it is all she has to leave her, and she hopes her darling will not use them except in case of extreme need. The mother having died, it is six months later when the father brings a stepmother to his little ones. Sue, the little girl, does not take kindly to this invasion of the home, and clasps her baby brother to her breast as though to protect him from a foe. The new wife makes herself at home in her new residence, and gradually begins to show her true nature and real character. She abuses the children and gives them little or no attention. She becomes familiar with the tradesmen and neglects the home. The husband suspects these things and feels disturbed at the condition of affairs. Poor little Sue is anxiously and bravely striving to care for the baby, whom she dearly loves. While tending her charge she sees a sign announcing a baby show, and decides to enter her baby brother as a contestant for the prize. She goes home and takes the little bank containing the savings her mother left her, breaks it open, removes the money and goes with the baby to purchase a suitable outfit for him in further hope that he will win the prize. A new trouble now presents itself, her own clothes are so shabby. An idea comes to her, and she dresses in some of her stepmother's gaudy finery and goes to the baby show, proudly carrying the infant and holding her parasol pompously over their heads. She takes her place with the mother, holding her brother in her lap. The crowds in attendance and the judges pass Sue and the baby without paying any special attention. Back home, broken-hearted, she toddles in with her precious burden, to be met by the stepmother, who is furiously angry when she sees Sue togged out in her finery. She is about to strike the child when the father comes in, stops her, and after some words he orders her from the house. He asks his child's forgiveness for being so regardless of her and the baby, hugs them to his breast and fondly kisses them. Little Sue asks her father to allow her to go and look for her stepmother, and intercedes for her return, feeling she may have repented her actions. The father consents, and Sue is quickly upon the street with her wee brother. The stepmother meets them, now thoroughly sorry and repentant, takes the baby to her breast and sheds tears of love upon its face; she stoops and kisses Sue in supplication to her to forgive her past offenses and unkindness. In response the child takes her by the hand and leads her back to her father's home, where they are united in newness of life and love

All goes merrily until the doll's actions gradually flag, and come to a full stop, and rushing behind, the crowd, the child included, discover that the old woman has fallen in a faint. In the poor woman's baby, the little girl sees a doll better than she ever hoped to have, and carries it off, leaving the note with which she was to purchase a new toy with the sick woman. At home the child attends devotedly to the baby, and sends a note to the poor woman in hospital saying that the baby will be well taken care of until she is well, but a "Little Mother." Convalescence leads to the discharge of the baby's mother, and she comes to claim the child. The little mother is not disposed to relinquish her charge, and the father offers to adopt the orphan for his daughter's sake, and engage the mother as nurse, and the offer is gladly accepted, much to the joy of all concerned.

The little mother's personality is so winsome that the farmer's son promptly falls in love with her, and the romance seems to be proceeding smoothly when a girl from the neighborhood deceives the little mother with a false report and she goes back to her tenement heart-broken and disappointed.

- A poor widow who supports her two children, one a baby and the other a girl of six, by scrubbing, weakens under the hard work, and finally dies. Marie, the "little mother," anxious that her home may not be broken up, calls on one of her mother's employers and requests that she be given a chance to take the dead woman's place. The artist, a wealthy, good-hearted man, pleased with the child's pluck, laughingly employs her, and makes her believe that she is really doing all the "chores." The artist's kindness, much to his surprise, brings him recompense one thousand fold. One of his models plots to fleece him. She call at his studio, falls in his arms, and when her confederate rushes in with a policeman, she makes charges that lead to the arrest of the innocent artist. Just as the policeman is leading her benefactor away, the little scrubwoman sees what is happening. She follows the party to the police station, but is afraid to enter. When the "complainant" and her husband come out, the child is impressed with the fact that they seem to be on the best of terms. Her suspicions are aroused, and she "shadows" them like a regular detective. What crook would ever imagine that a little girl pushing a baby carriage was a "sleuth?" This they certainly did not, for when they meet a friend in the park, they stopped to tell him how they had successfully arranged to "trim" a rich artist, never doubting that he would pay liberally to have the case dropped. The little girl, from her place in hiding heard the story. So the girl found a policeman, and told him about it. And the policeman went with her to her hiding place, and heard enough to warrant him in making what he afterwards described as a "two hander collar." The adventuress and the confederate were hauled to the police station and locked up, while the artist was set free in a hurry. The result is that there is now a "scrubwoman" whose duties are a sinecure although the wages are high, and the future of the "little mother" and her baby are assured.

The boys run off with the wagon and take the helpless Suds to their cave. Here they tie the prisoner up and concoct a letter to his spouse demanding thirty cents as the price of their victim's release. This note being placed in the worthy woman's hands, she straightway answers that her husband "isn't worth thirty cents." In the meantime the boys have confiscated the eatables of a picnic party in order to feed their hungry prisoner. Two tramps, being forcibly rebuffed in their demands upon Mrs. Suds for food, come across the cave by chance. They release the prisoner and find in the cave a banquet to their liking. When the boys come back to their quarters they find the enemy in possession and are forced to forage for liquid refreshments. Seeing their opportunity they concoct a strange mixture, which speedily renders the adult garrison of the cave hors de combat. Then seeking the assistance of the despoiled picnickers they see the enemy ducked in the pond. That night when the angel child is put to bed by his mother and the evening prayers are said she leaves him, little thinking of the outlaw deeds that occupied his day.

Just outside Babbie's cabin, leaning at a dangerous angle, stands a venerable black pine tree, which since men first came to the north, has ever seemed on the point of falling. When Jim Stone begs Babbie to marry him, she laughingly dismisses him with a promise that she will be his wife when the black pine falls. One day Jim's younger brother, George, comes to the little mother's cabin to persecute her with his ignoble protestations. He is followed thither by his discarded love, Julia, a woman notorious in the camps. The latter arrives just in time to hear George's passionate declaration to Babbie. His words lash her primitive soul into a frenzy of jealousy. As Babbie raises a gun to ward off the insulter, the enraged Julia steals up behind her and blindfolding her, pulls the trigger. Stone falls dead and Julia flees. Babbie is immediately apprehended and although Jim tries to shield her in every way she is taken off to prison. She begs Jim to stay in her cabin and be a father to little Marie, for ere the black pine falls, she tells him, she will return. Christmas comes. The storm king rages. The black pine, loaded with its weight of snow and ice, totters and trembles under each renewed blast of the wind. Julia, tortured by remorse, comes to the cabin in Jim's absence, to kiss the child. Jim returns unexpectedly and the woman is forced to conceal herself in the loft. From her hiding place she witnesses a pathetic scene which makes her resolve to bring the little mother back to Baby Marie before that Christmas Day is over. How she accomplished this, how the black pine comes crashing down under its burden of years and ice, how Babbie and Jim are united, and how Julia expiates her sin, are all too good in the unfolding in the picture to be spoiled by anticipating them here.
