He comes to Jim's home and makes advances to Mrs. White; she repulses him and he leaves the house in anger. The time is due for Jim to take his engine out. Pete Black starts down the railroad track, set upon getting Jim White out of the way. He goes down the tracks and places heavy ties across the tracks, intending to wreck the Special, of which Jim White is the engineer. Then he returns to Jim's home and urges Mrs. White to run away with him. She strikes him with a rolling pin and knocks him senseless. In the meantime, her little girl, coming home from school, sees the ties across the tracks. She rushes in and tells her mother, who goes into an adjoining room, procures a revolver, gives it to her little girl and tells her to hold the villain at bay until she removes the ties from the tracks. She reaches the railroad tracks just in time to save the Special and her husband. She notifies the sheriff and with him starts back home. In shorter time than it takes to tell it, the sheriff arrests him and takes him to jail. Jim White, who has brought his train in from the run, comes home, learns of what has happened, and fondly embraces his dear ones in acknowledgment of their love for him.
