When he meets Captain John Brent, a veteran of the Civil War, at the Old Soldiers' Home he "adopts" him as his grandpa. After Bobbie pays many visits to the Soldiers' Home, "Seven and Seventy," as the old soldier calls himself, finally consents to visit Bobbie's father and mother. Bobbie's mother, Mrs. Mortimer, receives him kindly. Bobby persuades his parents to offer Captain Brent a permanent place in their home. After much urging "Seven and Seventy" finally consents to stay. He remains for many months, but when the Mortimers go away to the mountains for their summer vacation he returns to the Old Soldiers' Home. Illness seizes him and he dies in the post hospital. In the autumn Bobbie and his parents return home and immediately visit the home to see Captain Brent. They learn with sorrow of his death, and Bobbie is only consoled when the commandant gives him a valor medal which the old "Seven and Seventy" left him on his deathbed.
