Lopez, a Mexican, working in the mine, overhears the instructions given to Roger, and with the help of two companions, Ford and Jenkins, he resolves to waylay and rob Roger. They follow him by a cross-cut and shoot at him. Roger dashes on, but one of the shots hits him. Wounded, he resolves to take refuge in his own home, where his niece Sue keeps house for him. He eludes his pursuers for a time and reaches home, only to die of his wound. He gives the money and the silver entrusted to him to Sue, and with his dying breath makes her promise, if possible, to deliver it safely to Howell. She hears the others, who have again got on Roger's trail, coming; she bars the door and window and goes to the attic. Lopez and his companions arrive. Seeing there is no back door to the house and only the attic window, they turn their attention to the front of the house and proceed to break down the door. Meanwhile Sue, taking a rope, escapes out of the attic window, and, mounting Roger's horse, dashes off for town. Breaking down the door and searching in the attic, Ford and Jenkins see her riding off in the distance. They pursue her, but after a desperate chase, Sue reaches the town. The people turn out to drive off the robbers and Sue fulfills her trust by placing the silver and the money in the hands of Ralph Howell, who discloses his love for her, to which she is a submissive listener.
