Living alone, she has busied herself in deeds of charity and acts of kindness among her neighbors, and is beloved by all. At the death of one of the inhabitants of the town, she adopts his orphaned daughter, and makes her a companion. The child is now grown to young womanhood and is a source of much happiness to Cara, who rejoices when the girl is courted by one of the village swains. Cara has almost given up when, unexpectedly, Herbert comes back. She welcomes him gladly. Virginia, her adopted charge, is engaged to Donald Wilson. In her ecstasy, she meets Herbert, and tells him of it. He tenderly clasps her in his arms, and kisses her. Cara sees him and at once comes to the conclusion that he is making love to Virginia, forgetting his vows to her. When Virginia appears and shows her "aunt" her engagement ring and tells her that "Uncle" Herbert was the first to congratulate her with a kiss, Cara feels abashed and apologizes to Herbert for her undue jealousy and promises never to distrust him again.
