LITTLE ISABEL TRENTON experiences great delight in the presence of an
Italian organ grinder and his monkey, and follows them through the winding
streets of the town until they reach the railroad yards. The tired Italian climbs
into an empty box-car with his monkey, for a snooze, and the little girl climbs in
after them. She gazes at the monkey so long that she herself falls into a deep sleep.
The organ grinder, awakened by the jar of the car as it is coupled, jumps out, but
little Isabel sleeps on, and when she awakens is several hundred miles from home.
She is discovered by the brakeman and turned over to the Salvation Army for safe
keeping. The only distinctive feature of her apparel is a plaid cap of peculiar pattern.
She is adopted by wealthy people, grows up, marries, and eventually goes back
to her home city, taking her own little girl with her. This child wanders out of the
hotel and becomes lost, as her mother did before her, and, strangely enough, falls into
the hands of Isabel's own parents, who still preserve the little coat
which matched the plaid cap, a memento of the child they lost so
long ago. The old lady generously sacrifices herself by donating the
precious relic to the waif they have found. Isabel is finally restored
to her mother, who in turn finds her own parents, so that the
reunion is doubly happy.
