Leaving the horse on the road he and the girl wander away through the forest. Meantime a ne'er-do-well, Dick Dazers, coming along and seeing the horse, mounts and gallops to the crossroads, where he arrives in time to hold up the coach as it comes along the rough road and separates the passengers from their money and jewels. His horse, however, runs away back to its master, and Jack finds it where he left it. Suspecting nothing he starts on his way back, and arriving at the crossroads sees there a black mass dropped by Dick; he is handling it, wondering how it came there, when the sheriff and his posse, accompanied by an Englishman, who was a passenger on the coach and who had given the alarm, arrive on the scene. Everything points to Jack as the guilty one, and he is bound and led away. On the way they pass Lucy, who does not believe that Jack could he guilty of such a crime. She seizes the Englishman's horse while he is getting a drink and gallops back to the Circle L Ranch and tells Jack's friends. They follow and catch up with the sheriff's party just as he is about to lock Jack in the calaboose. On hearing the evidence things look black against Jack, and they ride homeward to consider what is best to be done. Meantime the Englishman in his wanderings meets Dick, who again tries to hold him up. At this moment Jack's friends come along and capture him and lead him to the sheriff. Lucy tells the sheriff that she believes Dick is the man who really held up the coach, and asks to be allowed to act as his jailer so that she may find out. The sheriff finally consents to her plan, which we will not divulge here. We can assure you it was a very novel idea, and worked out to perfection, with the result that full evidence of Dick's guilt was obtained, and Jack was freed through the efforts of the girl he loved.
