Already, however, he has deserted her for Vera Blanchard, a girl from the east, whom he marries. They have a daughter, who is the idol of her father's heart. While hunting the rancher's gun accidentally explodes and he is stricken blind. After this his only consolation is his baby girl. When the child sickens and dies Vera is distraught between her loss and fear of its effect upon Robert, so when she finds on the doorstep an Indian baby she stifles her grief and puts the foundling in her husband's arms. The red mother dies, and the Indian girl grows up as Marsh's daughter. Years later, a great specialist comes to perform an operation upon the rancher's eyes, and the girl, who has recently discovered that she is an Indian changeling tries to go away forever. By feigning that the doctor's experiment has not been a success. Marsh, who loves Nita, as the girl is called, and guesses her intention, causes her to stay with him. Soon after this, he finds her praying, and clasping a wooden crucifix which years before he had given Nona. He tells her that she is in very fact his daughter.
