In order to separate them, Holden sends Wright to take charge and act as his representative in Wilcox, a small station in Wyoming. On the day of Wright's departure Grace secretly meets him at the depot and her farewell is a promise to remain true to their devotion until he returns to claim her. En route to Wilcox, Wilson's train is held up by two bandits and the passengers relieved of their possessions. The bandits succeed in making their escape and the train proceeds. One of the bandits, who proves to be Wright's brother, Jack, discovers, on examining the loot, his brother's gold watch which contains a picture of their mother, together with a letter she has written to Wilson, inquiring the whereabouts of her beloved son, Jack. The mother's letter and photograph have such an effect upon Jack that he determines to reform, and visit his brother at Wilcox. On his way there, however, his horse becomes lame, and upon investigation, Jack discovers that his horse has picked up a gold nugget, which has wedged itself in its shoe. He retraces the trail he has traversed and discovers a rich ledge. He brings this information to his brother in Wilcox, and confesses that he was the bandit who held up the train and, acquaints his brother with his desire to reform. Jack learns that Wilson has received a letter, informing him that Holden's object in sending him west was to separate him from Grace. With the indignation this letter has aroused still in his mind. Wilson decides to back up his brother's reformation by helping him develop his prospect. In a short time the brothers strike it rich, and before a year passes, a booming mining town, bearing their name, is added to the state of Wyoming. Wilson has refrained from acquainting Grace with his good luck and prosperity, having absolute faith in her love for him. In the meantime, Holden has urged his daughter to accept Kingsley as her husband. This Grace has refused to do, and in the hope of locating Wilson, she persuades her father to make a trip west, to investigate his properties. Acting on his daughter's advice, Holden decides to make the trip west, and invites Kingsley as his guest. They arrive in the vicinity of Wilcox at the time of an anniversary celebration. A number of Indians participate. The Indians become intoxicated and leave the merry-makers to return to the reservation. At a sharp turn in the road, Holden's special runs down two of the Indians, killing them instantly. The rest of the band become enraged and attack the train, imprisoning Holden and his party. Grace, who is an expert horsewoman, manages to escape from the car and reaches Wrightville. To her great surprise and joy, she comes face to face with Wilson, whom she hastily informs of the attack. Wilson loses no time in rounding up a number of cowboys and miners, who go to the rescue. The Indians are overcome, and Holden, who has had an opportunity to observe the cowardice of his prospective son-in-law, Kingsley, is forced to acknowledge the superiority of Wilson. Kingsley, who has been seriously wounded in the conflict, consents to Grace's appeal to marry the man of her choice. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
