He goes down to the cottage, and the woman, believing him to be a belated member of the sheriff's posse, hospitably invites him in to have a bite to eat before riding on to overtake her husband, who has gone on the trail of a famous criminal for whom a large reward is offered. Among the baby's toys the stranger discovers a little wooden cart which he made for his own sister Mary thirty years before. It reveals to him the identity of this worn, sickly little woman who has been so kind to him. When the husband returns, after a fruitless search in the hills, he gives himself up. The husband receives the reward, and the brother rejoices in his sacrifice. Written by
