With the stolen gold he gambles in a saloon, is caught cheating at cards and receives a mortal wound in the fracas that follows. Chadwick discovers among his effects a letter signed "Your affectionate sister," which states that the writer will shortly arrive in Piety Flat. When the girl arrives, Chadwick and the boys, whom he has posted, inform her that Jack has gone prospecting and will soon be back. Chadwick takes her to his cabin, which he represents as Jack's, and the boys bring gifts of provisions which they declare they borrowed from Jack. Dorothy becomes known as the Angel of Piety Flat. Riding out in the hills, she takes a snapshot of a little Indian boy, who later disappears. The Indians, believing that the boy has been spirited away by the magic of the black box, ride after the girl. Chadwick, who is with her, makes her throw the camera away, and the Indians riddle it with bullets. Captured, the girl is condemned to die at dawn unless the child is found. Chadwick, going to get help, is forced to shoot his horse when the animal breaks a leg, and while staggering across the desert he finds the Indian boy, who has wandered away and got lost. He returns in the nick of time to save the girl. Later, when he learns that she loves him, he breaks the news of her brother's death, but explains the event so as to make Jack a hero instead of the cur he really was.
