Erickson casts covetous eyes upon the fresh young beauty of the stranger's daughter. He is overcome with anger when he finds she is accepting the attention of Al, one of the lumbermen in his employ. He interferes and receives a smart slap in the face. This seems to bring him to see himself and things in a different light. He determines to seek out the girl and offer an apology for his action. He falls in with Al and the girl, who are on their way to the lake for a canoe ride. His apology is accepted, and he is invited to accompany the two. Upon arriving at the lake, however, a man from the camp catches up with them and informs Erickson that there is a man in the camp who wishes to see him. Erickson turns back and finds the newcomer to be a secret service agent seeking a criminal and his daughter, who are believed to be in hiding in the mountains thereabouts. Erickson recognizes the description as that of the stranger and his daughter. After a struggle with himself he tells the officer he knows of no such persons. Overcome with emotion, he returns to the vicinity of the lake. The secret service man remains in camp chumming with the men. Al and the girl embark in the canoe. In the course of the former's advances, which become repulsive to the girl, the canoe is upset. Instead of remaining and looking after the safety of the girl, Al shows himself the coward he is. Leaving her to her fate, he seeks safety for himself. The girl is saved by the prompt action of Erickson. The secret service agent has, meanwhile, caught sight of the stranger, the criminal in question, and keeps close track of him. The next morning he discovers his quarry attempting to escape from the camp, the latter having become aware of the officer's presence. Erickson sees the officer sneaking after the stranger and decides to see what is up. He is witness to a gun duel in the woods, in which both men are killed. He carries the body of the stranger, whose daughter he has learned to love, back to camp. The secret service man, now out of the way, Erickson shows the girl the documents concerning herself and her father, left in his hands by the secret service man. This causes her to tell him their story. She also confesses her love for Erickson and the story ends happily. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
