Bob, her little playmate, was a welcome guest, and the children spent many happy hours there. The years passed. Helen became a pretty girl, and Bob a sturdy young man. Mistaking friendship for love, they became engaged, but the romance was soon shattered because of a petty quarrel. The girl went abroad, and the man plunged into business, each determined to forget the other. The house in the tree saw them no more, but stood deserted and desolate. Helen became engaged to an aristocratic foreigner and Bob to a pretty girl who claimed to care for him alone, but disillusionment came to them. Helen learned that the aristocrat cared for her money alone, and Bob's fiancée cast him aside for a wealthier man. The man, bitter and despondent, thought of his boyish romance, and the tree which had played so strong a part in his early life. He returned to the little house and the sight of the possessions of childhood days awoke longings for the girl whom he had never quite forgotten. The girl had returned from Europe and the same impulse drew her to the house in the tree. There she found the man, and the realization that both cherished the past was a tie which drew them together and awakened the love which had never died.
