Plot Summary:Colonel Beverly Spottiswoode has fallen upon lean days. With his wife and daughter he is living in poverty in a dingy tenement, and having a hard struggle to make ends meet. At the time the story opens the last cent has been expended, and there is nothing in the house to eat. In addition, the daughter Rose, has fallen ill. When affairs are at this pass the Colonel receives a letter from an old schoolmate bidding him to a college reunion dinner at a fashionable restaurant. He is at first loath to go, but his wife and daughter prevail upon him to accept, for he will perhaps come upon something to relieve their distress among his old friends. The old evening clothes are brought out, sponged and pressed, and the Colonel sets forth. In a restaurant he finds Alex Henderson, his old school chum, who is giving the dinner, and ten or a dozen others of the old crowd. At the dinner the Colonel with the others is given the opportunity to examine a remarkably fine diamond Henderson is wearing. The stud is passed about from one to the other, when suddenly the lights go out. When they come on again the diamond is seen to be missing. A search is made everywhere but the stone cannot be found, Henderson locks the door and telephones for the police. Two officers appear and the situation is explained to them. They suggest a search of all present be made. All agree except the Colonel, and he is at once suspected. The party breaks up and the Colonel is shadowed home by a detective and Henderson, who climb on the fire escape to spy into the Colonel's rooms. Immediately is seen the reason why the Colonel would not permit a search. From his pockets he brings forth portions of food he has concealed there and brought home to his starving family. Henderson sends the detective away, and, descending the fire escape knocks at the door. The Colonel is at first cold, but as Henderson explains that he has come to apologize, he is admitted, and as he walks across the floor, the daughter catches a glimpse of something sparkling in his heel. The diamond stud is found embedded in the rubber heel of Henderson's shoe, and Henderson thereupon presents it to Rose.
