However, the young braves, who had given chase to the white renegades, so severely wounded Emmett that he was forced to seek shelter in Dan Spencer's shack. Here, he explained that Silver Star was his wife. But while grandmother Spencer was binding up his wounds, the Indian maiden whispered the true state of affairs to little Vera, and as a result, the renegade, taken wholly by surprise, was quickly driven out at the point of a gun. Luckily, ere he could attack them through the window, Roy Spencer appeared. An exciting encounter took place, in which Roy proved victor greatly to the relief of Silver Star, who at once hastened back to the Indian encampment, to appraise them of her welfare. To her sorrow, the maiden found her father dead, while the new chief had already ordered a war dance, and stubbornly refused to believe her story, that the settlers had proven themselves her stanch friends. The old chief's death must be avenged! He declared, and accordingly ordered Silver Star placed in her tepee, under guard. Realizing that unless she warned her new friends, they would all be massacred, the maiden quickly feigned illness; then, while her guard ran for help, slipped stealthily out, mounted a horse, and had not only notified the Spencers, but Roy had already galloped away for assistance ere the Indians crept into sight. Dan Spencer had but his old mother and little daughter to assist him in defending their shack, yet so true was his aim, that he succeeded in keeping the Indians at bay until Roy, with the other settlers dashed up to his rescue and drove the redskins away. Silver Star had paid her debt of gratitude; she had saved her friends' lives, even at the cost of her own people. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
