Synopsis: [From a contemporary synopsis, as reproduced in Tarbox-Lost p. 2??] The mother has lost her only child. The empty cradle stands in its old place of honor. The husband and wife, driving in an automobile through the suburbs, leave the machine for a stroll. They hear the cry of an infant; the wail comes from a barn. The little one is taken home; it is bathed and cared for. Sitting in the lap of the nurse of the baby that is gone is the new-comer, sans clothes. The wife is looking into its face, laughing, crooning. The same credit, now about to have another occupant, is hard by. The sunlight floods a scene that will strike home to every one who has ever loved a baby.
