Uncle George decides to test the worth of the girl and her husband. His lawyer writes Agnes a letter saying that the old man is almost stone deaf, homeless and with only sufficient funds to bring him to her home. Agnes and Tom consider the matter and decide that they can give the old man a home. Uncle arrives. The very first day he borrows money from Agnes to buy a cheap statuette from a peddler. When Tom comes home that night he brings the distressing news that his firm has cut the wages of its employees in half, owing to business depression. Yet the two young people decide to keep the homeless old man with them. Tom goes on. The landlord demands the overdue rent. At last they can no longer remain in their pretty cottage. Tom has hired two rooms in the poor quarter of the town and they are to move the next day. Agnes' father has come to visit them. He sees his brother and refuses to stay in the same house with him. Agnes persuades them to make up. The dear old hypocrite uncle delightedly shows his brother a deed from himself to little Georgie of the cottage. Troubles are over for the young Wilsons and for the two old men as well. Written by
