T.S. Arthur was a proponent of the movement for temperance, and his short story ''An Angel in Disguise'' has the evils of drinking as one of its messages. The very first line of this particular story tells us this:

''Idleness, vice, and intemperance had done their miserable work, and the dead mother lay cold and still amid her wretched children.'' Something must be done with these unfortunate orphans.

The mother is taken away for a pauper's burial while the neighbors go to her house to discuss what should be done with her three children. The older children are taken by neighboring families, while little Maggie, too ill to ever prove useful, is then left alone in the house.

The last to leave is Joe Thompson, the local wheelwright. Though he knows his stern wife will protest, his heart melts when the child pleads with him in fear. He carries her home, and day by day both Thompsons warm to her. And there she remains, an angel in disguise that has brought love to their home.
