By removing a thorn from the foot of a shepherd dog which belongs to Eleanor, the daughter of John Hess, he gains her friendship and she secures him a position on her father's ranch. Ned Emmet, sheriff, sees Jack at work and recognizes him. He hastens to inform John Hess that Jack is an ex-convict. Jack is discharged. Eleanor sees Jack leaving the ranch and asks him to explain. He tells her the truth, And she demands that he tell her all about it. Jack tells her the cause of his imprisonment, as follows: Jack and his brother, Wess, were very fond of each other, and they were both working on a ranch owned by George Hutton. Wess was in love with Hutton's wife, and was in the habit of meeting her in secret. Jack, of course, knew nothing of this. Mr. Hutton discovered the relationship between Wess and his wife and a quarrel followed. Wess gets away from the ranch house, and is followed to his bunk house by the angry Hutton. Jack, knowing nothing of what has happened, sees Hutton leveling his revolver at Wess and he (Jack) shoots Hutton down. Wess, not stopping to explain, makes an escape, and Jack is sent up for the crime. Later, Mrs. Hutton, recovering from the prostrating shock of the whole affair, explains things and Jack is released from prison. Eleanor, having heard Jack's story, believes it, and makes him return with her to her father. News comes at this time that Ned Emmet, the sheriff, has been killed by a dangerous outlaw, whom the sheriff has been trying to capture for some time. Jack is anxious to make good with Helen and her father, so he volunteers to go out and bring back the bad man or not return at all. He leaves, and after several days of scouting, comes upon his man. Helen, being fond of hunting, has gone on a day's journey of her own into the mountains. She comes upon Jack and the bandit at the moment of capture. She remains in concealment and is ready to use her rifle if necessary. Jack knows nothing of her presence, a struggle takes place between the two men, but does not last long; there is a recognition between them. Jack discovers that the bandit is his brother. Jack realizes that his errand is a failure, and with a promise from his brother that will change his ways, he lets him go free. Jack realizes that his hopes in regard to Eleanor and her father are dead ones, and he wearily turns in a different direction from that taken by his brother.
