But when the box is opened in the saloon its contents prove to be an old square piano. The instrument is set up and a reward offered for a piano player. One of the loungers, named Driscoll, remarks that his brother Bill, whom he has not seen in years, is a great player. Presently a tattered old man enters, and sitting down before the piano, draws from it music which kindles the memories of all present, including the bartender. The saloonkeeper invites the aged man to rest on the sofa behind the bar, and on learning that his name is Driscoll, runs to call his friend of that name. Returning, they find the till looted, and a pack of cards mockingly displayed in place of the money. Realizing that this is the work of a gambler well known to them, they hasten to his cabin and find there the disguise which Driscoll's mention of his long-lost brother had suggested to him as a clever means of committing the robbery. The gambler, by this time, is far from the camp, hurrying along obscure trails toward a new scene of activity, suited to a man of his abilities. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
