The boy, who lives alone with his mother, in a house heavily mortgaged, does his best the day after he finds the convict, to put off the foreclosure of the mortgage on his little home, hut the man who holds the mortgage is hard hearted and attempts to throw them out into the road bodily. The convict shows himself during this episode, and in consequence, is forced to flee, as there is a $500 reward offered for his recapture. The boy goes with the convict into the woods, and there tells him the story of the mortgage, and he, hardened criminal, knowing that the human bloodhounds are on his trail, compels the boy to deliver him into the sheriff's hands at the point of the gun, which the convict himself supplies.
