A half-breed learns of the reward, trails him, and, coming upon the bandit asleep, is afraid to take him single-handed. He goes for aid, leaving behind him a copy of the advertisement by which he has recognized his man. Awaking Texas Pete finds the paper, pockets it and decamps. His horse tiring, he abandons the animal and seeks cover in a rancher's barn. The half-breed, coming to the ranch, frightens the rancher's wife. She seizes her husband's rifle. The half-breed snatches up her child, and holding it as a shield, backs into the barn. She drops the rifle and rushes after him. Texas Pete, hidden in the hay, shoots the half-breed. The rancher, hearing the shot and seeing his rifle on the ground, seizes it and shoots the bandit, who thus gives his life for another. Dying, he asks that the reward be paid to the child's mother.
