Mrs. Warren was very ill and a doctor must be gotten at once, so Mary told Saunders. Realizing that there is a price on his head, he hesitates before starting for the town, where the sheriff lives and the reward is posted, but the exigency of the trip urges him on. But before Saunders and the doctor reached Warren's home, Mrs. Warren died. Saunders was recognized while going through the town, and the sheriff struck out upon his trail. The returning doctor directed the sheriff to the outlaw's retreat, where he caught him and made him a prisoner. Mary pleaded for his liberty but the sheriff was firm. Mary finally persuades him to see her mother, the woman for whom Saunders risked his liberty. Glancing at the woman, the sheriff recognized one whom he had never ceased to love, the sweetheart of his boyhood days. Filled with emotion and gratitude for the prisoner, he removes the handcuffs and tells him to go. He went, just to the door, where he hesitated. He thought of the girl he now loved. What would become of her alone in the world? Would she wait for him if he "took his medicine like a man?" Yes, she promised, only a year was the sentence he received. The sheriff looked after Mary while Saunders was away, and on his return she received him with open arms. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
