In touring about the country they meet an eccentric old character. He tells the following story: "Thirty years ago he was sheriff of that country. He was engaged to one of the belles of that region. Their wedding date had been announced. A notorious bandit had long terrorized the country, and one day he was caught. He proved to be the sheriff's own brother. The sheriff, holding the posse at bay, allowed him to escape. That night he received a letter. It was from his brother, thanking him, and adding that Edythe had left with him, and that they would not return. Since that night, added the westerner, "All he has done is to keep looking over and over again at the girl's picture." The story finished, the machine is about to drive on, when Edythe stops them. She goes over to the old sheriff, and recognizes in the old dilapidated photo herself. Willis is finally brought to realize that his girl has at last returned to him.
