He recognizes in her the girl who, some years before, spurned him and married his rival, now sheriff of the county. Unable to help her, he rides on and comes upon a scene of desolation. An emigrant family has been attacked by Indians and wiped out. A baby's cry arrests the bandit's attention, and between the pity for the helpless infant and love for the sheriff's wife, he reaches a conclusion. With the baby in his arms, he rides back to the house and effects a substitution which presently restores the woman's reason. He is still there, watching over her, when the posse rides up and the sheriff, entering, covers him with a gun. When the sheriff learns what has kept the bandit from reaching the border and safety, he permits him to go unscathed, happy in the thought that the woman he loves in vain has been spared through his intervention. She will never know that the child she loves so devotedly is not her own, but that of an unknown woman who gave her life for it. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
