Adoption Plot Unfolds As Colonel Befriends Baby
In a grim city tenement, a matron praises a pale newborn while a colonel and Dr. Mitchel discuss adoption. Mitchel proposes tracing the father to enforce support, then searches for Gertrude Griffin to pursue his plan, passing through squalid hallways and a crowded street. He asks a child about Gertrude, then meets a grieving mother facing her lost infant as he enters her door.
