Shortly after the betrothal the parents of the little girl move to the West, where she grows up, forgetting entirely the sweetheart of her childhood days. When she learns that her hand was promised in marriage while still a child she refuses to abide by it, protesting that she will never marry any man unless she loves him. Of course her mother writes this to her old friend, the mother of the boy, and also sends a photograph of the girl. When the young man sees the picture he falls in love with the original at once and starts for the West, under an assumed name, to win her love and affection, the young lady, of course, being unaware of his intended visit. Arriving at the little town in the West he finds he has a rival, but has little difficulty in taking the lead in this race for love. In fact he makes so deep an impression on the start and progresses so rapidly in his love-making that he has the field entirely to himself so far as the young lady is concerned. His rival, recognizing the necessity of prompt action if he is not to lose out in his suit, hires some of the Indians of his neighborhood to do away with our hero, and they are only prevented from doing so by his sweetheart, who had overheard the plot and who rescues him in a thrilling manner. Shortly after this the young lady and her mother visit the East, and there the young lady is again urged to marry her childhood sweetheart. She refuses emphatically, protesting that her heart has been given to another, unaware of the fact that this other is her boy lover under an assumed name.
