One evening Jim and Frank leave the cabin together and later lay in wait for the stage-coach, soon due. After the robbery they separate in order to throw the posse off the trail. Jim is finally trailed down by the sheriff and posse and surrenders, while a deputy is sent to Jim's house, where it is suspected Shaw has retreated. The deputy is met at the door by Edna, who gives the deputy her word of honor that Shaw is not in the house. The deputy, taking her at her word, mounts his horse, but has not gone far when a shot from the cabin brings him to the ground. The girl turns on her lover with a look of scorn. Shaw then makes his escape and the girl looks after the wounded man. The next morning Shaw is captured and confesses that he shot the deputy. And it is not until the deputy is well on the road to recovery that the girl confesses she lied to him. The story ends with the hint that a love affair has started between them.
