Here he meets the rancher's daughter Mary. They soon become friends, and her heart is almost broken when, at the end of his holidays, he is to return to the city. Mary makes Dick promise to write. Back in the city, Dick tries to forget the country girl, and as he is engaged to Lillian West, life is very gay indeed. Somehow, he cannot forget the little girl back on the ranch. The promised letter, however, is never written. Mary looks every day for the letter that does not come, and her father is very sad to see her pine away. At last he cannot stand it longer, and makes up his mind to go to the city and hunt up Dick. In the meantime Dick has grown tired of the gay life, and thinks more and more of Mary. One night in a café, he and Lillian have words; they leave the gay party, return home, quarrel, and part. The next day Dick receives a letter from her with their engagement ring enclosed; he is filled with joy, realizing that he is free to return to the girl he had left behind. He hurries home, dresses, and leaves the city. The old rancher arrives at his home soon after, and learns that Dick has left town. Slowly the old man turns and makes his way back to the station. Arriving home, he is about to enter the house, when hearing laughter, he turns and walking over to the window he looks in and is overjoyed to see Dick placing an engagement ring on Mary's hand.
