He knocks the man down. Later, the boy accompanies Anna to her home. The two fall in love with each other. A number of men are discharged by Harvey's father, in an effort to cut down expenses. Sanders sees an opportunity for revenge. The man incites the miners to strike for the reinstatement of their comrades. Davis, Anna's father, is one of the men who has lost his job. The family is thrown into dire want. Unable to pay their rent, they are dispossessed. Harvey comes to the rescue. Sanders later tells Davis that Harvey is a spy in the interests of the mine owner. The boy is ordered from the house. Sanders plots to blow up the mine office while the young manager is at work inside. Anna overhears the man discuss his deadly scheme. The foreman makes his way to the office and plants a bomb in the vestibule. Anna arrives a moment later. Seizing the infernal machine she hurls it into the street. The girl faints as the result of the nervous strain. The bomb explodes. Sanders, lurking outside, to witness the result of his scheme, is knocked unconscious.
