He died just before the story is commenced and left his daughter his blessing and $200 that he got from the sale of a book. The poor orphan hunted up an employment agency. About this same time the parent was wishing that he could control the tomboy, who liked to throw apples at all sorts of things, himself included. The parent decided upon a governess as the only possible solution of the tomboy's disposition. He wired the employment agency for one. The parent had been a customer and the lady boss of the employment bureau is loath to disappoint him. He specifies an elderly woman and she offers the post to the only available old maid. But the proffer is rejected with scorn. The neglected orphan suggests that she has the education necessary and can impersonate an aged woman. The lady boss clutches at the straw and off to the ranch is packed the poor orphan, now rich in the promise of $25 a month, with room and board free. The tomboy is much incensed at her presence and mistreats her shamefully, but eventually the orphan wins her over and becomes her confidante. This puts the "grand high kibosh" on the governess stuff and the parent sees that his idea is not the right one after all. What the tomboy really needs, he thinks, is a mother. He asks the orphan to be one to her, but the orphan has seen the parent actually being cruel to the unwelcome suitor and she decides will not take the risk just yet of incurring his displeasure. Putting off an answer, she agrees to help the tomboy wed the unwelcome suitor, who is not a bit unwelcome to the tomboy. She has determined that her usefulness is ended and has vague thoughts of resigning, a decision which is crystallized into actual effort when the parent catches her false hair and discovers she is really not as old as she looks. But fond persuasions prevail at the last and the parent agrees to become the charming husband to the orphan, and dear old dad to the tomboy and the unwelcome suitor, now no longer unwelcome.
