Phyllis Black, a school chum of Nellie's, pays her a visit, falls in love with Frank and, at a picnic party in the woods, she throws her arms about him and tells him so. Nellie's father sees this and, thinking that Frank is trifling with his daughter's affections, orders him to leave the place and never see his daughter Nellie again. Frank is a western boy who does not give in quickly. He writes a note to Nellie, "Sweetheart: I love only you. Will you meet me at the crossroads and marry me now?" The stupid messenger delivers the note to the other girl, who, thinking that she is meant, rides off to meet Frank. But she drops the note on the ground and Nellie finds it. Here follows a novel and most interesting race between two women to meet the man they both love. Nellie passes her rival on the road, meets Frank and they are married. Phyllis comes up just in time to see them receive the minister's blessing. Written by
