They are both middle aged, and although they are fond of each other, neither has the courage to express his feelings. Mrs. Post, a neglected wife, is evicted from her humble lodgings with an infant. In despair she contemplates suicide, but as she is about to take one last look at the infant's smiling face, she concludes she has no right to take the life of the child. It would be better to leave it with a respectable person. Fortune directs her to Bond's flat. As she finds no one home, she is enabled to leave the baby and make her escape unseen. Bond is naturally very much surprised and upset when he discovers the baby. He is in despair until Miss Prue, whose maternal instincts have been aroused by baby's cries, comes to his rescue. They decide that the only thing to do is to take the child to the police station, but by the time they arrive at the station house, the "mighty little atom" has so won their hearts that they are loath to part with it. Bond settles the question by proposing marriage. They return to the flat, taking the baby with them; then the "atom's" mother just gets one more glimpse of her child, and goes away satisfied, knowing that it will be well taken care of. Written by
