One day they visit an orphanage and see a sweet little deaf/mute girl and decide to adopt her. They learn sign language so they can communicate with her. Some months later, Mr. Tinsdale, who has been entrusted with some valuable papers and money, is obliged to take them home and keep them overnight. A burglar who has a knowledge of Mr. Tinsdale's possessions, breaks into the house to rob him of the valuables. The thief enters the bedroom in which the safe is located. He finds Mrs. Tinsdale in bed. Intimidating her with his revolver, he threatens to shoot her if she speaks. Her husband is heard approaching the room and the burglar hides behind the head of the bed. The owner of the house notices his wife's perturbed expression and is about to ask her the cause when she cautions him to keep silent by placing her finger to her lips. She then communicates with him in sign language that a man is behind the bed. Her husband grasps the situation and unconcernedly opens the table drawer from which he takes a pistol, points it in the direction his wife indicates, and fires through the head-post of the bed, wounding the thief. He telephones for the police, who soon arrive and take the robber captive. In grateful acknowledgment of their narrow escape from a possible tragedy, the Tinsdales shower caresses upon the little child who led them to impart the voiceless message of warning.
