This subject deals first with a woman who has lost her husband. Her two boys are now her mainstay and support. These boys are aged respectively 6 and 8. They sell papers and give their earnings to their mother. The elder of the boys is inclined to be wild and one day be is arrested for craps playing and is sent to a reformatory.

Lass and her six little puppies are lying near the kennel upon the suburban estate of Mr. Jameson, the wealthy New York broker. Mrs. Jameson, his wife, is walking about the estate accompanied by her six months' old baby and its nurse. She stops and speaks kindly to Lass and her little family. Picking up one of the little dogs, she playfully puts it in the carriage with the baby and petting the little animal, returns it to its mother. She continues upon her walk. This same little puppy strays away from its little brothers and sisters and reaching the railroad tracks, it wanders into the next village, where it is met by a crowd of youngsters that are gathered about the station. They playfully abuse the little animal.
