The stray bullet cut a rose from the bush that the little girl was caring for. Soon there was another rose in bloom to take its place, and by that time Dolly and Fred were more than friends. Joe, a rejected suitor, attempts to force his attentions on Dolly. She succeeds in getting his gun and orders him from the cabin. Fred hears her screams and hastens back. Outside the cabin he meets Joe, knocking him down, then dashes in. Dolly, thinking the intruder is Joe, fires. Later, after the doctor has arrived and pronounced Fred dead. Dolly, heartbroken with grief, goes to the rose bush, where she recalls the happy moments spent with Fred. Then, seeing the revolver still in her hand, allows it to raise slowly to her temple, but a vision of her aged and lonely father stays her hand, and for his sake she decides to live, though she may never forget her "Rose of Yesterday."
