With many another proud old family they had been stripped of their possessions and ruined by the Civil War. So when June Talbot learned of an approaching dance at a nearby plantation, her delight was mingled with a very real regret. She could not possibly afford a new dress, and there was nothing she could wear. By chance, she discovered her grandmother's wedding dress in an old trunk. It was terribly old-fashioned, of course, but it was infinitely better than any of June's poor clothes. So she wore it to the dance. They were not very kind to June at the dance. She heard them laughing at her dress behind her back, and it naturally made her unhappy. But when Dick started to tease her, Jim came to her assistance and told Dick to stop. When Dick persisted, Jim hit him, and Dick fell to the floor and lay, to all appearances, dead. Jim, dazed and trembling with horror, wandered out of the^ house. The sight of Dick's apparently dead body seemed to snap something in his brain. With the blind instinct of a hunted animal, he fled. And when he fell among desperate characters, the blind instinct told him only that with them he could find refuge from the terror behind him. Bull Dog Mike, Slippery Jim, and Billy the Kid, took very good care of Jim. Discovering that the man had the intellect of a four-year-old child, they taught him the tricks of their trade, which was burglary. Meanwhile, Dick had entirely recovered from the temporary effects of Jim's blow. June and her mother were left an unexpected legacy and moved into the city. June had never gotten over Jim's disappearance. He had meant a great deal to her, and his unaccountable absence hurt her. One night she came across her grandmother's dress. Moved by a sudden impulse, she put it on. Then, musing on the poignant memories the old dress called up in her mind, she went slowly downstairs to look at her grandmother's portrait. There was an open window behind the portrait. A man with a white strained face stood looking at the portrait in puzzled wonder. As June entered, he turned and looked at her. As he looked, she could see the light of reason coming into his eyes. With a glad cry, he sprang toward her. Somewhere outside a revolver barked and Bull Dog Mike's late catspaw sank to the ground with a bullet through his arm. He had his wits back and the finest girl in all the world was telling him that he wasn't a murderer and that she loved him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
