- The boys were holding an indignation meeting. That pilgrim from the east, Jack Warren, had walked in and taken possession of the hotel as though he owned it. Old man Clayton was ill and the work was certainly too much for Jane. Marching up to the bar, each gave his order to the tenderfoot, but, when it came to paying, they sneeringly declared that the drinks were "on the house." This was going too far; with a rush. Jack was upon them. The doctor's appearance, however, at this moment announcing Clayton's death, effectively put an end to the quarrel for that day. Solemnly the boys filed out, leaving the money on the bar as they went. Hostilities were, nevertheless, renewed a few days later when the boys found that Jane was still retaining Jack as her assistant. He had most likely left a sweetheart at home and was merely playing with the girl. And in truth, Jack had been engaged to Bertha Everett, but greatly to his relief, she had written breaking their engagement and announcing her approaching marriage to another man. Coming to the hotel, they openly accused him of trifling with the girl. Instantly Jack sprang at them and had succeeded in knocking two down when Jane made her appearance and commanded the boys to leave. Then after they had gone, quietly but firmly insisted upon Jack doing the same. Three months passed. Finding the work entirely too great for her strength and the "help" most unreliable, Jane had sold the place and was leaving her old home forever. Luckily, the walk to the station proved greater than she had anticipated, for as she sat down to rest. Jack came along. Gently he persuaded the girl to come to his cabin, while he hurried away for a minister. But no sooner was the ceremony performed and the clergyman and his wife congratulating the pair, than the boys burst into the room. Bill and his partner, who had seen Jane enter the cabin, at once notified the others, and now, with tar and feathers, they had arrived to run Jack out of town. But the presence of the minister and the sight of the marriage certificate which Jack calmly held up to view, caused them to beat a hasty retreat.—Moving Picture World synopsis
