Her request is granted. The needed drink is supplied by a little white child, a good act that is finally well rewarded. This wandering band of Indians, headed by chief Snake Head, sends out Bright Eyes and Slow Foot to spy on the settlers with a view to attacking them and robbing them at some favorable time when the settlement is unprotected. The two squaws, calling at the cabin in the woods, are given food and lodging by the father and mother of the little child who had furnished Bright Eyes' child with a drink a few days before. The heart of Bright Eyes is touched by the white child and she exposes the Indian plot. She tells the settler to ride for aid, which he does, after first binding Bright Eyes' companion, Slow Foot, so she cannot escape and warn the Indians. The settler arouses the nearby ranchmen and they start out to intercept the Indians. The Indians, however, have reached the settlement ahead of them and Bright Eyes, with the only gun in the house, puts up a strong defense, but on being wounded, Bright Eyes, with the mother and child retire to an inner room praying they may hold out until the arrival of aid which puts in an appearance just in time to save the capture of the cabin's defenders and the destruction of the house.
