He has brought her to live upon a spacious ranch. Robert is proud of his holdings and loves the vastness of it all, and he tries to instill this same feeling into his wife. Poor Millie pines for the city and the bigness and the loneliness fill her with weariness. Robert does not notice how dissatisfied Millie is. The lands next to one of Robert's boundary lines are owned by two fraudulent land promoters who find it necessary to obtain a portion of Robert's ranch. Henry Weyburn, a surveyor, is paid a large sum of money to impersonate a government surveyor and to successfully deceive him into the idea that he is not entitled to a large part of his ranch. Weyburn is invited to Robert's ranch for a visit in order that they may talk matters over carefully. Being a man of good dress and polish, he finds it easy to get on good terms with Millie, in fact he provides the diversion that she is pining for. Weyburn works cunningly and well; he deceives both Robert and Millie, and he persuades Robert that a portion of his land belongs to the United States Government. He flatters and makes love to Millie, until he makes her think that she has a real grievance and finally succeeds in making her agree to elope with him. Robert sees nothing of this domestic trouble. At the crucial moment a telegram arrives from a government official telling Robert to hold Weyburn who is wanted for fraudulent land deals. Weyburn is on the point of departure when he is stopped by Robert, and a fight occurs in which Robert detains Weyburn, but is shot in the arm. The sheriff arrives and Weyburn is arrested and taken away. Millie no longer yearns for the east, and her love is now all for her husband and his land.
