The young fellow asks his father's permission to join the forces under Sheriff Jackson, of Pikesville, Tennessee. The father reluctantly consents and the son starts out to satisfy his adventurous nature. The forces raid the cabin of Bill Blair a moonshiner, who resents the attack, and during the raid. Blair and his companions are killed. Of the raiding forces, Harry Brownley is severely wounded. Madge, Blair's daughter, offers to care for and nurse young Brownley until his father is notified and arrives to take him back with him to New York. During his confinement in the cabin, young Brownley falls in love with Madge and when his father comes to take him home, Harry tells her that he will return for her and make her his wife. Mr. Brownley does not take kindly to the idea. He advises Harry to forget it, but to this he will not agree, and with much sorrow, the two young lovers part. At his home in New York, Harry grows worse and unable to return to his sweetheart or even to write to her. When he gets stronger, he writes her a letter, with the assistance of the nurse: his father intercepts the letter and destroys it. In the meantime. Madge cannot stand the suspense. She determines to come to New York to see Harry and learn the cause of his silence. She arrives at the Brownley mansion and is refused admission by the butler, who pushes her from the door. She calls Harry's name. By intuition he recognizes her voice. Summoning all his strength, he rushes down to the stoop, where he finds Madge in charge of a policeman, whom the butler has called. Harry tell the officer his services are not required, clasps her to his breast and leads her into the house. His father is at first angry and refuses to recognize Madge, but when he sees the sincerity of her love for his boy and that Harry's happiness depends upon his consent and approval of their marriage, he no longer refuses to grant it, and receives Madge into his heart and home as his daughter.
