In his old age, he took the meager savings which should have gone to make his declining years comfortable, and spent the little hoard for luxuries to please his invalid grandchild, Mildred. The child was growing every day weaker, and at last the doctor told Caleb that if he expected to keep her alive a year, she must go to the country where she could have fresh air, the best of food and expert nursing. A tremendous temptation lay at Caleb's finger tips, and he yielded. When the books were audited at the end of the month, it was revealed to Lewis and Munson that their accountant had embezzled several hundred dollars. Geoffrey Lewis was astounded. He was not a hasty nor an unjust man, and it came over him forcibly that Caleb Cole, so trustworthy all these years, must be in some unspeakable trouble. He follows Cole to the country, where he had gone to be with Mildred, and arrives at the cottage while the grandfather is absent on an errand to the village. A few moments with the child and the nurse reveal to him the situation, and quietly leaving the house he tears up the warrant for Cole's arrest and makes up the deficit to the firm out of his own pocket.
