She, realizing the danger to a lone girl in the world, disguises herself as a boy and starts out to seek her fortune. She meets the foreman of a lumber camp who takes a fancy to the slender boy and gives "him" a job. Almost at once the bully of the camp decides this is a chance to show his supremacy. When the "boy" stands around helplessly, bully gets an ax and saw and tells him to get to work. The girl cannot refuse safely and with great awkwardness raises the heavy implements and tries to do her share. The rough lumberjack laughs at her efforts and the bully thinks it time to show his authority. He swears at her for not doing enough work. Her poor hands are blistered and her muscles ache but she goes at it again. The bully laughs and, swearing again, knocks the "boy" over. The men are delighted. A scrap is a rarity under the stern regime of the foreman, but this promises to be increasing. And besides, the licking will do the boy good, toughen him and make him respect those above him. The foreman comes into the scene. At first he would interfere, then his own subdued love of a fight crops out and he sides with the lad. The bully crouches and starts towards the boy but the thousands of years of femininity are too much for the little girl of the pines. Snatching off her cap she breaks out crying. The lumbermen stare. Then, realizing the truth, they wonder how they could have been deceived for a minute. The bully is ashamed. He pulls his cap off embarrassed, but the girl turns angrily away from him. Weeks pass. The foreman has a house built for her. She is the queen of the camp and every man shows her the utmost respect. The bully and the foreman love her. The former has been forgiven, but when he speaks his love the girl shakes her head. She loves another, the man who has been her champion from the first.
