TWO children are born, one in a fashionable home in Washington square, the other in the slums of New York. We see them on their third birthday; Bob, the rich little boy, surrounded by the presence of love and care; Jenny, the poor little girl, stealing an apple from a fruit stand.

place of a father to her, and who makes use of h r in his illegal calling.
The young cracksman, Kelly, suggests to Dugan that they burglarize a house in Washington Square by putting Jenny through the basement window and have her open the front door for them.

Jenny, never having heard of right and wrong, is fascinated by the rich young man and when he leaves his money on the table and says that he will go upstairs “until he hears the front door close behind her,” she realizes that she has found someone in the world who will trust her, and he does, through trying circumstances.
