When it is discovered that 13 are at the table the servant is sent out to bring in a passerby. The wanderer is brought in and seated beside Joe and Klein, two of Betty's admirers. That evening, Joe proposes to Betty, who refuses, and Klein watches for his chance to force his attentions on her. Maddened that he should be interrupted by the wanderer and refused by Betty, the next morning Klein writes to her father that she must pay the note for $1000 immediately. The wanderer finds this note on the floor. Klein goes to the squire, instructing him to collect the note. The squire collects his own note first. After a wordy argument with the colonel, he succeeds and is then ordered from the house. The wanderer notes it all and follows the squire. Later we find the wanderer at the tavern, where he is insulted by Klein. Joe enters, and, foolishly jealous of the wanderer, demands to meet him on the dueling grounds. Late that night the wanderer is seen writing a note enclosing $1,000. The colonel finds it under his door and after attempting an explanation from the wanderer, pays off his overdue note to Klein. Again we find the wanderer and Klein at the tavern. Klein urges the man to play cards. In the game he loses the money just paid. The wanderer turns it over to the squire saying that he is the messenger of another. Joe and the wanderer face each other for the duel. The wanderer manages to slightly wound the impetuous youth. Betty rushes up, having been warned, and inquires if Joe is badly injured. The wanderer smiles sadly and placing her hand in that of Joe's, tells her that the boy has fought for her and is worthy. He then resumes his journey. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
