The hermit threatens him with a rifle, and the young man decamps. Later he meets the sheriff of the county and from him learns the hermit's tragic story. In youth, the man had lived with his pretty young wife in the cabin he now occupies. Indians had attacked them, and they had made a desperate stand within the cabin until their ammunition ran out. Then the wife implored her husband not to let her tall into the hands of the savages, and with his last shot he killed her. Cowboys, drawn by the shooting, arrived and dispersed the Indians. When they entered the cabin the girl was dying. The realization that he had shot too soon deprived the man of his reason, and ever since that day he has been a morose hermit, fondling a dummy dressed in her clothes. "Heartrending?" the sheriff concludes, "If you'd 'a' stood with us by her grave..." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
