She is met at the depot by the mother and brother of her chum. Jack Blair, the brother, and Ruth conceive an immediate liking for each other. He leaves on the outgoing train bound for the goldfields. Later Ruth, who has never had a home or parental care, learns that her father is a desperado and that he and his gang are sheltered in Devil's Canyon near Eldorado goldfields. The girl leaves for the west and learns that the statements made about her father are true. Ruth's arrival at Devil's Canyon frustrates an attempt made by Garstone to kill Blair. Blair has struck it rich at the Canyon, and in an attempt to oust him from his claim Garstone inflicts injuries on him which result in his losing his memory and becoming an innocent associate with Garstone's gang in many of their depredations. Jack and Ruth subsequently marry and five years later we find them in the possession of a comfortable home and a boy. Jack's memory of his early life is still a blank and life holds nothing for him but his wife and son. The arrival of Jack's mother and sister in search of tidings of their loved one precipitates a climax in the story. The stage on which they are riding is held up by Garstone's gang and among the loot stolen and taken to the camp is a satchel belonging to Mrs. Blair. On opening it the outlaws discover a family group picture. They are about to throw the photo into the fire when it is seized by Jack, and his dawning reason tells him that he is gazing upon the features of those near to him. The father of his wife is brought wounded into the camp and lives long enough to entreat forgiveness of his son and daughter. Jack, believing that Ruth has willfully deceived him, parts from her and presently meets his mother and sister. They are about to leave camp when they are attracted to the cries of the little boy standing on a lofty eminence, his arms outstretched. He offers an irresistible appeal to the father and presently Ruth and her child are folded in the loving arms of the man to whom that baby boy had proved "The Bond Between."
