It seemed as though they had loved as long as they had lived, and would love until the final interruption. There was another chap named Tooker. He probably loved himself more, but he liked Lois a little, too, a little too much for Lois' comfort. There was a rustic bench beneath an ancient tree in the near distance. There, of a moonlit night, Lois and Phil would whisper the old story. Tooker had watched them, and when Phil went, he approached Lois and attempted to kiss her. In her anxious helplessness, she dropped the flower that Phil had brought her, and turning, fled. Tooker saw the flower, and his opportunity. A little later he entered the tavern where Phil and a few companions were chatting and laughing. Proudly he waved the dying flower, and spoke wild words of her infidelity. Just after Phil struck him, the duel was arranged. Fassett, in love with Cleo, Lois' sister, ran back and breathlessly explained what had happened. In desperate grief, Lois snatched her scarf, told him to run and give it to her love, and tell him if he lived to wave the scarf, ride back to her at the trysting place. Tooker was a coward, as every man who lies about a woman is, and in craven fear he ran from the field of honor, where such as he have no place, mounted his horse and rode off in frenzied fright and flight. Lois, waiting in trembling anxiety, saw the wild rider, and her tortured thoughts at once conveyed to her the grim supposition of her lover's death; the last terrible grief that she was ever to know ate into her life and youth; the broken heart stopped, and the startled soul fled. And there Phil found her, murdered by the power of thought; a martyr to cruel imagination. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
