That John Gray is alive to-day and enjoying the loving companionship of his wife is only due to the love and devotion of the Indian squaw who sacrificed her own hopes and love that he might live and be happy. Gray, an ex-easterner, has made the west his home for some years. The owner of a prosperous ranch, he was universally liked by employees and neighbors; his generous and sunny disposition made him a host of friends. He did not save the squaw's life or make love to her; he merely protected her from the insults of a worthless greaser. She was a woman and that was sufficient for John Gray. But, alas! this poor little untutored half-savage viewed it from her point of view, a man only protects the woman he loves, and then and there gave to Gray her uncontrollable affection. There was no question about her love for Gray. She did not declare it from the housetops, but in a hundred different little ways showed that he was her man. When the saloon keeper of Broncho Forks was found knifed to death and there was scrawled upon the bar a message that John Gray had committed the act, there was no excuse for doubt in the minds of anyone but that Gray had actually committed the crime. This did not convince the squaw, however. Gray told her it was not so, and his word was all-sufficient, and the fact that she helped his escape, furnished him with food and shelter in the mountains, was to be expected; but when another woman appeared upon the scene, in the guise of Gray's intended wife, all the savagery in the squaw's nature cropped up and she did everything to keep the man for herself, even leading the other girl into the belief that Gray was guilty in the hope of sending her hack where she had come from. The squaw's devotion was brought to the front when Gray was tracked and captured and about to be lynched; then this little savage divulged the fact that she had wormed herself into the confidence of Pedro the greaser and that he had shown her the hiding place of the gold he had stolen from the murdered saloon keeper, and gave Gray's life to the other woman.
