This sum she deposits in the town bank. Through a glaring newspaper ad she is now tempted to invest her money in a fake gold mine company. Dan Walton, their representative, meets her at the train, escorts her to their office for a beautiful certificate of stock. In taking out his watch, Walton reveals his mother's photo in the case, which impresses the widow and she lovingly strokes the sharper's head as she tells him never to forget his mother. Deeply moved, Walton sees the old lady off to the train, then returns to the office, secures her money, tells his pals he is going to return it to her and when they try to stop him, holds them at bay with drawn gun as he slowly backs out of the door. Walton journeys to the widow's country cottage, returns her money and receives her blessing, goes to the railway station, finds himself without fare back to the city, smiles grimly, then sets out along the ties, happy in the thought that he has proved himself a man.
