Jim Clark, a young Arizona farmer, finds himself at the age of thirty, a widower with a lonesome little girl who must depend on his housekeeper, Miss Brown, for such motherly attention as she receives. Miss Brown dislikes children and Clark realizes that his daughter is leading none too happy a life. He determines to advertise for a wife who will be a mother to his daughter. He does so and his ad meets the eyes of Dorothy Vernon. She sees here an opportunity to cut loose from the old wicked, tiresome life. She accordingly answers the ad and in course of time receives the money which Jim sends her to come to him. They are married and the future looks rosy. Miss Brown looks with a suspicious eye on the well dressed New Yorker, and one day comes across a letter which leads her to suspect something of the life which the wife had lead prior to her marriage. The husband is informed and then follows a sequence of events, which brings shame and sorrow to the wife but through which the love of a noble man burns truly, and Dorothy finds that she has indeed found a haven of rest for her tired soul upon which she can depend forever.
